Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, yeah, OK. Then I'm back to the hippies are the luckiest people in the world.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What I've always wondered about is how they manage to arrange travel visas for everything without giving away the route to the racers. Do they make people get a whole bunch of extra visas as decoys, or do people just promise not to look at their passports until they open the clue?

Thanks, Mr. Industries. I owe it to you.

That's a great question, Jess, especially since I saw on show about Top Model that in the first season, the girls got held for like three days because they couldn't answer any questions about why they were travelling. Or something. They knew where they were going ahead of time, but that was it.

According to some of the racers who post over at TWOP, they do just that.

Ha! I can just imagine. "Well, I have to go to a park and find a box. After that, well...how long am I going to be here? Um..."

That must be maddening. I hope CBS at least pays for them!

I just got off the phone with the manager of my old apartment, who was unable to get in to look at the place yesterday because he didn't have a master key (and I had left the keys in the kitchen). What he didn't know was that I had left the front door open, so as long as he was able to get past the lobby, he could just walk in. When he went back this afternoon to check it out, he discovered that the construction guys already had taken out the kitchen cabinets and walls, as well as removed the living room windows. So, apparently, I passed the inspection!

Hee! The staff work on TAR must be incredible, really.

The multiple visa thing makes Lake's "Oh no, not Russia!" thing make a lot more sense. If he specifically knew Russia was one of several options, I can see hoping for a different one.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Can't find a good gym bag. Why is this market so underserved? I can't fit a frickin duffle in a locker. Aaargh.
