I just went to South Beach. Is that actually on an island?
Does it have North, East and West beaches too?
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Miami Beach is technically a sandbar built up with landfill. I don't know if that counts as an island, but you do have to cross a bridge to get there.

I feel I should just go really far
Cyprus?
The students finished their exam. Most of them were quite displeased. Apparently somebody started a rumor that a certain topic (that they only covered with the professor, not with me) would not be in the exam, and one question was about just that topic, so most of the students had a problem with it, and were frustrated (they really worked hard during the whole semester, poor things). Yesterday I specifically said that this subject may be in the exam, but apparently, without enough authority or something. Sigh.
And now, to write a paper for my "History and Philosophy of Science" class. I can't remember when was the last time I had to write a paper that wasn't supposed to have even a single equation. Also, this one is supposed to be short. The lecturer demanded that we use the word-count of Word to make sure our answers to each of the 2 questions wouldn't be over 750 words. I am, however, the opposite of concise. I've used more words than that to not-even-begin some posts over in the "Firefly" thread. I'm probably going to write everything, then start to cut out most of it (and if an equation slips in, that too). We'll see.

I read an article on post-disaster tourism somewhere. Don't know where.
I should go move my car before it gets another ticket. I have 3 unpaid ones (to the university. What are they going to do? Prevent me from getting my transcripts? ) Some people have multiples of 10.
But I'm half convinced I'll be the one person they tow.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
ita, you're on the West Coast now. You must go to Hawaii.
And I've been meaning to tell you-- Jamaica was great. I wouldn't go back to the windy side, but I've never been anywhere with such consistently pleasant temperatures. People were nice, too.

Good, Nilly. It's good to see you too. I'm actually working normal hours and my anxiety level has decreased to "sporadic" from "ever present."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The windy side? Where did you go?
Hawaii is about the only US beach destination on my list, but I'm damned tired of not branching out.
Dozens of countries at talks organized by the U.N. World Tourism Organization finalized a plan to lure back tourists to four nations hit by the giant waves ? Thailand, Sri Lanka, the Maldives and Indonesia.
Excellent!
