It's time for a road trip.

July 17, 2001

I know that I am still in Europe and shouldn't be thinking about another trip, but I just have this urge to go on a road trip. I am thinking I'll spend a week in Chicago, a week in Madison and then hit the road for the east coast. I don't know how much time I'll spend there, but I want to go. I may have to cut down the amounts of time spent elsewhere but I just have this urge to do a little roadtrip. My only dilemma is that I really want to spend some time with Jannelle and JP. I don't know what to do about that yet. I don't have enough time to do everything I'd like. I'll have to sit down and do some planning for everything. More than anything else I'll have to plan what my road trip would consist of since that would affect when I can squeeze it in. I think these are the main reasons I'd like to go.

1. I want to see some people I haven't seen in a year or so.
2. I want to do a road trip on my own. I think this is something that gives you a little perspective.
3. I love road trips under any pretense.

I'll have to talk to my dad though to see if he minds me putting a couple thousand miles on my car. We'll have to see what he says about that idea. What do you think about the whole idea?

In other news, I didn't do much of anything yesterday and it looks like I will be doing a lot of nothing again today. I know it's not much of a way to spend my remaining days in London but I just want to. Last night I went to see Shrek again. That is a brilliant movie. I would say it is my favorite of this year easily. Between Shrek and Harry Potter I have become a true afficionado of children's entertainment. When I see 'adult' movies I never get the kind of smile on my face that I get when I watch kids movies. I think you know what I'm talking about.

On an indie rock note, I love the Low+Dirty Three disc. I also really am looking forward to buying the new Cake album. Man, I love Cake. They may not be evolving but they never cease to release wonderful music.

Enough paragraphs.
