1. Lisa and I have scrapped our ambitions Pacific NW trip due to insufficient funds and have instead plotteed a road trip up the world famous "emo corridor" (I-35) to the cities of Kansas City, Des Moines, and Minneapolis/St. Paul. I like that A) we're going places neither of us have been before-(I've been to KC, but I was only there for 2 days a couple of years ago and I wasn't sober for most of that time, so my memory is hazy to say the least.) and B) We're going to places that aren't super touristy. I don't really like touristy towns because they feel artificial (with the exception of Washington DC, which is somehow touristy in a way that doesn't make me queasy). If I'm going to go somewhere, I want to go somewhere that hasn't been stage managed for my benefit. Of course we're going to do the touristy things that are availible there, but I like that it's not a HUGE DEAL and we won't be just part of a massive throng of fanny pack wearing package tourists. I'm kind of excited because I had once envisioned taking a trip up I-35 from border to border, but this does me one better by omitting the entire state of Texas. If this trip is a success, I think we might try to do St. Louis/Chicago/Milwaukee-Madison next year.

2. I got a haircut. It looks good.

3.I bought some awesome reproductions of old railway posters on ebay for our apartment.
