I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

USA shows 3 NCIS episodes a day and I started and can't stop.

Yep. In one of today's episodes there were some nice Weatherly arm scenes.

EXACTLY!

But all told, the cost of...well, a lot. So unless they are feeling really generous, it is financially irresponsible if not impossible. But... when this was first proposed (at the Folklife Fest, which had this country as a focus,) there may have been noises. I think it is all part of my parents' plan to spend any inheritance, of which I totally approve (not because it might benefit me, because I think they should enjoy themselves!) Anyway, I'd love to go. Nepal and Bhutan are at the top of my dad's Dream Trips (Tibet is #1) and I'd love to be with him for it. Plus, my current passport is sadly unexercised. And I'd really fucking like to see that part of the world.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, that would be awesome.

I can'T believe I'm googling airfare to Kathmandu.

This is one of the tours dad has looked into (pdf): [link]

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

sara! Totally awesome trip!

I love my theater peeps. A director friend of mine is already organizing a one-night-only, entirely-queer-cast reading of Merchant Of Venice on December 9th, with all donations going towards the fight against Prop 8. Bayistas, expect to receive tons of info.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

People! Educate me about Alabama. In a sea of red, there's an unbroken belt of counties, passing through Montgomery, that went for Obama, often by pretty big margins. Roughly the same band of counties went for Kerry and Gore as well. What distinguishes this band? Is there a higher proportion of African-Americans in this part of the state? (And if so, why such a neat horizontal strip?)

I have also learned today that Alabama has the longest Constitution in the world. So that's nice.

billy, it might also be NASA and pharma. Imports. I'm totally guessing, of course.

Hey, and if my flight went via Bangkok (some do) I could meet Fay. t boggles

We'll see.

“Not dead yet!”

NASA would be Huntsville and that's the extreme north of the state. That's a really interesting belt of blue, billy. Looks like you have a lot of the universities there-- Tuskeegee, and Auburn appear to be in that belt.

ETA: Not Tuscaloosa. Which, actually, would've surprised me.

Hey, is the belt along an interstate? I saw some interesting patterns relating to interstates on some electoral map somewhere.
