a description of the amazing and exciting adventures i have here in baltimore--- and other lies.

 
I have been email-less for a few days now. I tried to access my account on Friday afternoon, only to discover I could not gain entry. I must have tried my password a dozen times, to no avail. I had only just checked it a while ago, and I was forced to live a life as one would in the dark times of the 20th century! Anyway, I finally was able to go to my work account, and transfer a temporary email password to myself. When I got into the account, I found that Yahoo! had changed my password (undoubtedly for security reasons). They sent me an email to tell me they did this. So, I couldn't check my email to find out that they had changed my password, because they sent me the information that they would change my password to an email account they blocked with a new password. Make sense to you? Good: explain it to me, then. I missed out where my friends Nat and Lori were going to have beer on Saturday, dammit. However, the day was not a complete loss, as I was able to pass my time with my bestest movie buddie, Erin. We saw "Reign of Fire", which was not bad: scary and startled me, and had some good laughs. Best line "the only thing worse than dragons is Americans."
AND, as a point of clarification, these are NOT dragons. Properly speaking, they are WYVERNS. An example of which can be seen on the Welsh flag. Dragons have four legs and the wings, wyverns two legs, and their arms are bat-like and thus they fly. Both are nasty customers. I think the producers of the film got some of their dragon info from this book: "Flight of the Dragons", by Peter Dickenson. Cute little book, nice pictures, I have it if you want to take a look.
However, the big thing for me was being able to go to Normal's book store and rifle thru these great boxes of books some guy had left there. They either didn't know what they had or were too busy to bother haggling with me 'cuz I KNOW I got l at least a couple of hundreds of dollars worth of books for only ten bucks. It was great!

Anyway, I wish similar good fortune on you all. Happy Bastille Day:

Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie,
L'étendard sanglant est levé, (bis)
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats ?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras
Egorger vos fils et vos compagnes !
