*collapses*

Well, here I am, eight and a half hours of driving (well, reading while Dad drove) and five hours of unpacking later. And yet it's still only been twelve and a half hours, 'cause crossing time zones is fun. ;)

Random moments from the trip:

- Freakishly flat-as-a-pancake land in and around Columbus. Gambier is slightly hillier than the surrounding country, and I tend to forget that I'm actually in the midwest. The "Oh my God, the horizon is a straight line" land around the middle of the state reminds me of that.

- There's nothing like the town of Florence, Kentucky (about twenty minutes southwest of Cincinnati) with its bright red and white water tower with the words "Florence Y'all" painted on it to say, "only five more hours of I-65 before you're home!"

- There's nothing like a life-sized plastic T-Rex painted in tiger stripes advertising an entire museum of such creations outside of Bowling Green to make you say, "Oh, God, how many more hours do we have to spend in Kentucky?" (Answer: about forty-five minutes.)

I'm gonna try for the friends list, but I'm not sure it's gonna happen. Me tired. Me also very lazy. ;)

Awwww.

Under my bed is a small blue crate that holds a fleece blanket. Cat has decided that said crate and blanket combination is his new bed. All you can see of him is his ears poking out over the top of the crate. It's the cutest thing ever.

Also? The fact that some guy named Mario Winans has a single out that features Puff Daddy, or P. Diddy, or whatever he goes by now, and Enya is utterly inconcruous to me. Especially as iTunes lists the song as explicit. Cannot...comprehend...
