Trappings
I am watching The Parent Trap starring Linsday Lohan, and I love it. Does this mean I have horrible taste? Don't answer that. I especially love how the original evil stepmother-to-be, Vicki, now plays the mother of the evil stepmother-to-be. Genius!
Today we are in Charlotte, North Carolina. It has a nice (small) skyline with a lot of modern-without-being-annoyingly-trendy architecture. I have a nice view from my hotel room on the 14th floor but the picture I took with photo booth only sort of turned out.
In other photo news, I am immeasurably sad that next season with be the last for Battlestar Galactica. Oh how I love thee Starbuck and Apollo! Adama and Roslin! Even Gaius and Six! It might be my favorite show ever. (This also means that I have no other interesting photos to share from the past few days)
After arriving last night Nick, Kim and I decided to venture out in search of food. We ended up at a local bar/pub called The Graduate, but not before venturing through "The Depot," where all the buses arrive in town. I didn't know depots existed anymore but there it was, and surprisingly busy at 9 o'clock at night. I guess Charlotte is a happenin' bus stop.
Tomorrow we are exhibiting at the Wachovia Bank headquarters, which is a big deal because Komen is wooing them to become one of their national sponsors (a million dollar plus commitment). So we will be showing off the Komen stripes, so to speak.
I think I am going to have to buy another piece of luggage to get all my stuff home. Here is a partial list of what I've acquired since being on the road with KOTG:
12 t-shirts
2 hoodies
1 pair shoes
1 digital camera plus case
3 tank tops
1 pair pajama pants
1 board game
1 iPod accessory
4 books
1 Pillow
Ridiculous! I am an awful walking talking example of American consumerism, right? Oh dear. My apartment building put in brand-new windows while I've been away and I can't wait to see them.
I read blogs that talk about weight loss surgery and losing 200 pounds and God and genocide, and I talk about The Parent Trap and my urgent need to buy extra luggage. Is that a problem?
In other news, The Phantom of the Opera is coming to Chicago this fall/winter! I cannot explain how happy this makes me. I love Love LOVE Phantom and I haven't seen it since my Dad took me to Toronto for my birthday when I was about 13. Good lord that was TWELVE YEARS AGO, boy am I old.

Blogs are blogs, no matter what they're about. It's all the same bullshit.
When I read or hear the word "Wachovia" I want to pronounce the "cho" part, instead of making it "co" so I say "WaCHOvia!" and it's a lot of fun to say. More fun than Wachovia, which is kinda boring.
