i'm back! wow, i missed my computer. and my dsl line. my monitor is HUGE! much better than the tiny one i was used to at work. did the long drive home after the dave matthews band concert in atlanta. yeah, i know. they STILL didn't play say goodbye. i think i have some sort of curse.

got to stay in midland, texas one night. as a couple of signs proclaimed 'home of george and laura bush'. woo. it was a terrible place. kinda a city. flat. dirty. republincan. bleh.

i drove across texas from dallas to el paso. it's a big state. damn. and everyone drives pickup trucks. seriously. big pickup trucks. soon after i crossed into texas i saw two billboards proclaiming 'united we stand. in god we trust'. churches had billboards. a couple anti-abortion billboards. lots of bush stickers, even more american flags. (and american cars. i was so glad to see a crown victoria in my rearview mirror in LA and have it be a cop. what? i was glad to see a cop? haha).

when i looked up 'coffee' in the yellow pages (amazingly enough, midland had a starbucks.) i found there was a huge 'church' section. one of the baptist churches advertised their radio station.

98.3 KKKK

now, it might just be me, but i wouldn't want that to be the call letters for my radio station, let alone a christian radio station. weird.

i'm so happy to have unlimited access to a fast computer...i promise more (and much more interesting. damn, have i been boring the past few months.) soon! and more often!
