back effects

my back is groaning in protest at sitting so long today. and now i will be driving to orlando within the hour and im not looking forward to the road along the way. too much construction. tomorrow i think i may end up at a theme park. ugh. sometimes i enjoy parks, but more often than not, the people start to irritate me, the lines frustrate me and the characters walking around the park in fuzzy morbid suits, scare me.

but, i suppose, i will enjoy the company. some of my brit friends are in town and im determined to show them a good time while i have the time away from work. plus, it doesnt hurt to get on their good side, since i will be at their hospitable mercies only next month. ahh, london in september and paris in october. it doesnt get any better than croissants below the eiffel tower in the autumn months. comment 'allez vous? tres bien, merci. oh yes, very good, indeed.

thats another thing to think about; how much money will i exactly spend on this trip? 500? 1000? i think it just depends on what i find. kristian says that i should just bring enough to come home with no regrets. not like last time. then i wished i had bought the bag made out of a man's suit jacket at covent garden and when i sent the same visiting friend back to see if he could find it, it was long gone. then again, i would have been more overlimit when it was time to finally go home. i remember telling debbie with complete seriousness, "if we only have enough for one ticket, you go ahead." was i going to live there? make some money at the oslo airport panhandling? call thom and beg him to take me in? who knows. after all, i might be perfect but im also not norwegian. :)
