kriston hassles bob novak. i died laughing.
this supercool 6,214 mile highway is finally open, making it possible to drive from europe to asia. vacation, anyone? that’s totally what i’m doing, well, except after i go to italy this spring. and then i’ve got to visit jessica in hong kong. and also i want to do this provencial french gite house thing that i read about in the WP travel section where it only costs $300/week to rent a country cottage for four and pretend you’re a rustic french peasant a la marie antoinette.
oh, that reminds me: jessica put up some beautiful pictures of india and a wedding she attended there. check them out.
you think bush is bad...imagine if he were president AND owned the yankees.
speaking of corrupt italians...shit is hitting fan in the massive parmalat scandal. parmalat is a huge italian food distributor. i realize no one cares about this except me. and hell, i hardly care about it. italians being corrupt? big deal!
alright, why not, another italian news item -- the uffizi gallery is doubling its exhibition space in 2006. i think this is probably a good thing, as the space they've got right now is kind of small and windy and confusing and crowded.
in other news: be careful what you wish for! just last week i was whining about not having enough work, and yesterday and today i am slizzammed. slizzammed, yup. it's debatable whether or not more work would lead to more blog posting, though, in a desperate attempt to avoid doing real stuff. we shall see.
also, i'm meeting jenkuo (she of trivia night periodical table superpowers) for drinks tonight in dupont, if anyone is interested. big hunt has $2 rail drinks. yum.
