Out in the morning -- coffee and bagel and comics.
Picking up our pottery. (Yay! I will mail mine soon.)
More consuming. (We bought the things they advertised... mmm...)
Seeing Crossroads. Good! I mean, awful! The difference is really irrelevant. I liked it.Worst ::
All my pens disappeared to somewhere else. I don't function if I don't have pens and a notebook. Bad.

Disney World! Rides and other rides and more rides, several of which we broke. Or at least broke while we were riding them. We felt some degree of responsibility. I thought Brer Fox yelled "Fuck that bitch!" on Splash Mountain, but I was probably wrong. The thing with the colors and Heffalumps and spinning bits on the Winnie the Pooh ride was great... and we filmed things for Tiffany's project, which was good. I mean, I didn't film anything. Tiffany filmed, and Molly asked questions. I mostly stayed out of the way. I know where my strengths lie.
Dinner at Denny's with a waitress who kept mocking us. She got a big tip for that.
Finally seeing Hedwig and the Angry Inch -- yes, go see it. Now! I think I sort of fell asleep a few times, but still.Worst ::
Getting up very early to go to Orlando.

Going out/night driving.
Movies: Jay and Silent Bob and Wet Hot American Summer again.Worst ::
Scary shuttle noises! Molly and I couldn't figure out why something went BOOM! and the window rattled. That doesn't happen in Ohio! Or in Maryland!
Going to sleep when we could hear other people in the house getting up.
:: 10 march 2002
Best ::
Trashy magazines.
Tiffany's mother meeting us in the airport with shiny eye makeup. A different color for each of us. That must be a good sign.
Florida! There are little lizards and palm trees and lots and lots of channels.Worst
Very little sleep.
Sitting on the plane for awhile before taking off because someone had back pains. Or something. Didn't make much sense, then, either.

Having to turn in all my credit stuff; worrying that I won't get all of it.

Nice enough weather for sitting on the lawn with Amelia and reading J. Crew catalogs. Which is just weird, but that's a different problem.Worst ::
