I have nobody to take me out and get me drunk on my 21st birthday. :<
Summer has become such a bore since I got too old for summer camp. At least this year is good for movies. Speaking of which, I had a question pop suddenly into my head earlier today out of nowhere, so I consulted IMDB and found that Gwyneth Paltrow is 5'10" tall, and Robert Downey Jr. is 5'9" tall. So from now on in my personal fanon, Tony Stark is one inch shorter than Pepper Potts (and that's without her four inch heels!). I know, I know: there are so many better things I could be doing with my time then giggling over this geeky shit.
It's just that, y'know, I've got a thing for tall women.
I'm rereading Cryptonomicon, the Old Kingdom trilogy, and probably some other books I can't remember off the top of my head right now. It's possible that I forgot to finish rereading Sacred Games, but I can't for the life of me find it, so it's going to have to wait.
All of the books I mailed home from Japan are still not here yet, so I had a look at the Japan Post site and apparently slow-boat-from-hell shipping really is slow. Like, three months slow. I really paid $110 to wait three months for my stuff? I'm kinda glad I didn't follow through on my vow to buy a futon set and ship it home, it woulda been pretty stupid.
I wanna go back to having eight damned grocery stores in walking distance. >:|
XKCD was even more
disturbingly relevant than usual today. I figure I've been crawling east since Japan and have only gotten as far as Honolulu by now.
