I'm ba-ack.

Y'all, I'm writing about this today, but Europe is turning into the biggest clusterfuck in the history of man.

Ow.

Good morning. I absolutely cannot wait until Allison Lowe comes in here and tells you what I left on her answering machine last night.

Let's just say it involved me, Master V, and sixty-five bottles of wine.

-- Anonymous, July 03, 2001

At least it didn't involve 69 bottles of wine.

I don't know what that means.

-- Anonymous, July 03, 2001

I don't know what it means either, but it was funny.

Just got back from taking Matt to the airport. I HATE that place. I nearly didn't escape with my life.

What happened?

-- Anonymous, July 03, 2001

It just has all those crazy lanes and we didn't know what terminal to exit, and God, those blue buses. I think they only let crazy people drive them. I got cut off by about 5 of them. Bitches.

The taxis are the worst. Why is it that they think just because there's three feet of space there, that they MUST fill it all up? Hate.

-- Anonymous, July 03, 2001

I know! They were cutting me some mean looks, too, whenever I parked there for ONE second, to let Matt out.

M, what's the deal with the European clusterfuck? And how funny is it that you used the word "clusterfuck"?

Y'all, is this necessary?

The chatting/padding forum looks like it's going to explode, and then there will be big chunks of faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat padders.

You know what I'm most upset about? Now we won't be able to follow Deathiffer and BigMatt's "relationship." And when she finally kills him off with her looooooove? We won't know.

I love the word "clusterfuck."

It's just so unorganized, and I'm out of the loop because I was at work last week for the planning meeting. We're taking some no-name charter to Paris, so Lord knows how that will be, and we're being awfully cavalier about finding hostels in some popular places.

Whatever. I'm looking forward to it, but I'll be happy when we get there.

Where city do you fly in to? Out of?

Sara and I found a place to stay the first night, and then we found places to stay for the rest of the time once we were already there. Do NOT try to find a place the night of. It's miserable enough walking around looking for the place you have a reservation at, I'd hate to go from door to door. And it's summer. Y'all will NEED reservations. A lot of places were sold out in March.

And even grosser than that, it's in the category "Cybercults." Flarn-farned freaks.

I don't know nothin' bout no hostels, Mike, but I'm sure it will be fine, as long as you get there in one piece. Hey, maybe your charter plane will have smoking and drinking! Those crazy French, and all. You know you're going to have to start smoking when you get there, right? They're awfully mean to non-smokers. The "non-smoking" sections were always by the bathroom. And people smoked in them anyway. Heh. I love France.

I can't stop typing "it" as "itt" today. I don't know what's wrong with me.

Paris on both counts.

I'm well aware of that, but nobody else cares. Whatever. I may have to scramble and find a place in Paris on Thursday, if we can't stay with friends of friends of friends of friends of one of the people in the group.

-- Anonymous, July 03, 2001

M, I have a couple friends who live in Paris. I'll see if I can find their number. If worse comes to worst, you could always call them. They drink a lot. Maybe that's a good thing, though.

-- Anonymous, July 03, 2001

I think I'm making a hostel reservation this afternoon.

-- Anonymous, July 03, 2001

Yeah, make sure you have someplace for the first night at least. Surprisingly, a lot of places have online reservations.

-- Anonymous, July 03, 2001

So I see ... Thank God!

The place recommended to me doesn't have them, though, and I'll probably stick with one that does. Being as, you know, I speak no French.

Jesus Christ. I'm about to fling the iBook out a window. Now the damned sound is acting all crazy.

Why did I buy a used computer, Lord? Why?

-- Anonymous, July 03, 2001

AB - do not blame the used, just blame the iBook. It is a wacky instrument of the devil, that very may well have given me carpal tunnel. The iBook is NOT the cousin for me.

And now the internet is all wonky. For the first time EVAH, greenspun is the only thing working.

I feel your pain. I can't get the APPLE website to load, so I can't find out what the mofo'ing hell is wrong with this dumb computer.

-- Anonymous, July 03, 2001

Maybe the whole internet is down and greenspun is our little oasis in a sea of sad broken links and unloadable gifs?

Can you have oasises (oasii) in the sea? No. I guess those are called islands.

Islands in the stream. That is what we are.
