the illiad, the odessy, and oklahoma

after many many miles, and many many little debbie snack cakes, and much jet lag, etc etc ,blah blah, i am here, camping in a house, waiting until my things get here.

i have been in the states about one week. i have seen three movies: corpse bride, an excellent and cute little tale starring the voice talents of that heartthrob johnyy depp, and the sultry minx who i will always think of as the chick in fight club, helena bonham carter; serentity, a kick ass movie that i absolutely loved loved loved, because i loved the falied television show firefly and the chick who plays river is a hottie (in real life she is a ballerina, hence her graceful movements and flixibilty...mmmm, flexible chicks), i would see this movie again and again, it was spec friggin tacular; and willy wonka, another tim burton joint starring depp (Swoon) and HBC. eh, it had a few moments, but really, just like the lobster boy, reality television, or a threeway in church during a mass up in the balcony behind the organ with two choir chicks, it is a bit of an abomination against god and really shouldn't have happened at all.

i think i purchased about 52 books. a super kick ass independant bookstore that i found turns out to be closing due to lack of business, thanks to the damned internet and lazy ass people who don't read, and this is a sad loss, but i also picked up professional grade hand made quality bookshelves for super cheap, so there is the rose in that manure pile.

cell phones in the states are a complete rip off. if i make a call i get charged "minutes" (it is ALL about the minutes) and if someone calls me, I GET FUCKING CHARGED?!?!?!?!?? what heinous fuckery is that? and of course i get the number that used to belong to varoius people, so i keep getting this old indian guy and old indian lady wishing me a happy birthday and some guy named poncho (no kidding, his name is actually poncho) keeps calling for Father Louis. if only poncho knew....

huzzah, i am back in the states. the blogging assault i had planned will be much less a whirlwind and more a light breeze, at least for now, while i get my things up and running. only today, after much wailing and gnashing of teeth did my internet get hooked up. things are not as easy as they seem to make you think they are.

and i got a tattoo.... (no, i will not be showing it, sorry, but thanks for asking....
