I consider it high praise to be considered interesting by someone as confidently idiosyncratic as you are. Let's hope employers think I'm an asset wherever I go, too! Well, thank you, Miss Janis.

Anyway- please do keep blogging and good luck with everything, have a great time, it's always good to keep moving if you ask me (until you get to Texas, obviously).

You had to <i>move to Japan </i>to make friends with midwesterners that you'd be willing to <i>visit?</i> <BR /> <BR />I couldn't resist, Sean. ;-) I love being snarky with you. And, yes, Sean, you can be, and have been, nice. Don't forget you were my best friend at one point in time. :-) (Ok, all together now, everyone--awwww!)

Some of my best memories of childhood are from playing arounnd with wood and tools (and some surprisingly sharp objects, now that I think about it) in my father's workshop while, like, Spirit or Led Zeppelin was blaring. You can't really do that sort of thing in Japan--too much noise (even without the music), and no room for a table saw, unless they're making them collapsible now. <BR /> <BR /><b>Maria</b>, I can be nice, too! I mean, I was nice sometimes when we knew each other, right? <BR /> <BR /><b>Caltechgirl</b>, good to see you're still around. Last time I checked your blog, you were in a posting lull, I guess. It seems to be active now. <BR /> <BR /><b>Andrea</b>, I SO DON'T GET the Renee Zellweger thing. She has very good taste in dresses--not a given among actresses and their stylists and handlers these days--and she carries herself well. But her range is really limited, and I tend to find her hard to warm to unless she's in a role that fits that natural exasperated look of hers. Thanks, everyone.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who can't stand Renee Zellweger. I mean, I think I've only seen her in <i>Meet Joe Black</i> (a movie I must insist I saw only because it was my then fiancé's father's favorite and they insisted on me watching it with them), and at first she was okay, but then as the film progressed I realized that that hurt/pissed-off purse-mouthed expression <i>never</i> left her face, for <i>any</i> reason. She's sad, she's mad, she's having an orgasm -- her lips never unpurse. Gack!

Many mixed feelings. Will miss your take on the Orient. Can’t wait to hear your take on NYC. ::heh:: Hoping this enhances the chances of meeting you IRL.

Have a safe flight.
