Travellin' Tales, Sleeping With the Enemy & Other Misceallany

Forewarning(The following post is quite long, probably not very well-written, and almost certainly of very little interest to most of you. But I for some reason had to get it out of my system; previous attempts have been a good deal more ambitious, but that very ambition seemed to lead to pretentiousness and prose of the purplest hue. And so, you’

Welcome home. Thanks for the travel log. I've been to make a similar post since I got home this past Thursday from a week on the road, but just haven't gotten around to it.

You definitely have intersting family!

Did I mention my own strange George W. dream where we were on a road trip together? I'll have to dig that one up from a few weeks ago.

Great pics, look forward to more updates and definitely some more fiction.

Thanks. Laura says that the best pics are the ones she took - with maybe one or two exceptions, I think she's right.

Hey, cool.

I love Laura's new hair (I guess I haven't seen her in awhile...maybe it's not that new) and I think the nosering looks more than fine.

Hi Rachel

Er, you actually ran into her (and me) only a couple of weeks ago, while we were abusing $2.50 drinks at what used to be Illych's.

But I like her new hair too; I just wish she lay off the fucking gel so often.

Well, it certainly looks like you had a grand trip. You have a very interesting family, too. I'm glad to hear you had such a great time.. welcome back. I think you may have been in Ottawa around the same time that i was (on my OWN vacation). Fabulously done.

[ed_rex]

We were in Ottawa on - shit, 16th and 17th or the 23rd and 24th? The former, I think. I'm sorry you had a more alienating time on your trip than I did on mine.

There is a small possibility I'll have the wherewithall for a night out this Saturday; should I call you if things work out that way?

[offermeescape]

Oh, don't worry, I actually had a grand time on mine. I just had some sombre feelings surface occasionally.. namely around family members that were beginning to feel like strangers.

You should definitely call me.. Saturday would be great.. I think we said something about the Green Room before?

[ed_rex]

...family members that were beginning to feel like strangers.

Yeah, I know that feeling, to some extent. A cousin I grew up with (same age, we fought and played for years, every summer from the time I was 8 until I was 14 or so) is someone I now have almost nothing in common with whatsoever.

Anyway, I'll see you tonight.

[ssurprize]

I started reading but then the pictures got all my attention so I can't say I finished reading it all. *innocent smile*
What can I say, I'm a photography lover, I'm more into visual art :)

And that one, with a 'mosque'-ish profile is an actual wall-opening? I, being an interior and furniture designer, find this very interesting. Needless to say I haven't seen it anywhere else...

[ed_rex]

It wasn't a particularly good post, so I'll forgive your not finishing it.

When I was very small, my family lived in the apartment above my aunt and uncle's place, so that "mosquish" door was something I more or less stopped noticing years ago.

Laura, however, really saw it right away. It was she who insisted we use it to frame the photos.

Apparently, the door was an eccentric add-on by the builder (and original owner) of the house.

[lykshweetdood]

Roar. I have to go soon, so I didn't read it all.
I want a nosering! (Well, not really, but it looks good on Laura!)
Your dad's younger sisters name is Lillian. Guh. I'm changing my name to that as soon as I'm old enough. Mhm.
Also, picturing you spooning with President Bush made me laugh for about twenty minutes.

[ed_rex]

I can't complain too much about nose-rings. I've had my nose pierced since I was 16 or 17. When I went to visit my mother, she spent (literally) 30 or so minutes laughing at me, in that tears-rolling-down-her-face, why-don't-you-let-me-drive-Ma kind of way.

I am pleased that my nocturnal and subconscious perversions are as much fodder for your amusement as my jewelry was for my mum so many years ago.
