My vacation could have gone better. I spent five days in Florida. Most people in their lives can't say that and this was my second trip there. But anyway, those five days were dominated by this girl (and I say that because at 27 she was most definately NOT mature) who thought everything was about her. No job, money or prospects. Slept with guys to pay her phone that she was NEVER off. Had to go to the bar every night. Bummed cigarettes from the world at large. Our mutual friend (who was moving and needed to pack) had to spend every free second worried about what ms. thang wanted. Over five days I saw a movie (can do that at home), swam in a pool (ditto), saw the LOST finale (tritto), and swam in the ocean (YAY! that was my big thing I had to do). Everything else was focused on packing and getting ms. thang gone because she was not going cross country with me. But I made some new friends in Travis and Caleb and was reintroduced to someone I had briefly met before in Lulu.

New Orleans is AWESOME. I went to Bourbon st. on a Thursday and it was nuts. My friend and I met this guy named MJ. His first day he got mugged and then, the 2nd was his birthday. We adopted him fot the rest of the night. And the hotel bed's were so COMFORTABLE. It is just off Charles St. and I HIGHLY recomend it.

In Texas we started to get a little cabin fever. The money she was supposed to have for the trip ran out and I had to pay for her moving (why not, I already had to put the truck in my name. Don't ask.) The second hotel was disgusting. My only joy was the pit stop in Odessa. I had 'Heroes' running all through my head for ... disappointment. No offense to any natives but from what little I saw there wasn't much going on.

Not until San Diego was I beginning to feel like I was on vacation. But my friend never mentioned that they (or more specifically, her husband) was paying for my ticket home. I had to tell him about the rest of the finances. Still no word on wether they're gonna pay me the $400 I spent trafficing their belongings cross country. But in the end, I did end up getting a Blue Lantern shirt and got a total of 5 of the DC figures I wanted.

It has been over a week and it still feels weird being home. It feels just wrong, especially in little things like wearing long pants instead of shorts. But my dvd collection continues to bulge. I am currently watching Wonder Woman Season 3, Star Trek the animated Series, Law & Order SVU season 5, My Name is Earl season 3 and Thundercats Season 1 Volume 1. I am waiting to rewatch Mile High Season 1 again because when I start it I become obsessed and cannot be disturbed for anything else. I also have Big Love Season 1 and That 70's Show Season 4 ready for whenever. And I picked up the special edition of Galaxy Quest. For bluray I upgraded Justice League Season 1, got the remastered Star Trek Season 1, and Quantum of Solace (got for $20, the double disc dvd with the exact same special features was 25. which would you have chosen?)
