  1. I wonder how many people on this flight to Amman are going to be making a border crossing to Israel tomorrow morning (like I am).
  2. I'm off for Bethlehem! Turkey tonight, Jordan tomorrow night, and Israel/Palestine sometime on Christmas Eve. Insh'allah, of course.
  3. @crossdck you and me both, buddy.
  4. @uscscreenwriter then again, just saw the part where Yoda gets into it w/Count Dooku. And it's still some pretty badass CGI tomfoolery.
  5. @uscscreenwriter Star Wars II is on as we speak. Your Lucas quote couldn't be any more appropriate or timely.
  6. (And this guy didn't speak a word of English--and I don't know much Kurdish--so it involved a lot of, um, pantomiming. Quite awkward.)
  7. Tonight I might well have had the weirdest encounter of my ENTIRE life. It involved a guy trying to hook me up with a Kurdish, uh, hooker.
  8. Ah, crap; I found a rat hiding out in my room. It's shades of my nightmarish two week rodent war in '06. So very unpleasant.
  9. @swellsk you're picking up a Chicaagan accent, you say? That's kinda fun. :)
  10. RT @tferriss The world's cultures are homogenizing. Travel + explore sooner vs. later. It's like Moore's Law applied to crowding cultures.
  11. This is day 4 or 5 now without running water in the house. I'm surviving, but more than ready to be able to take a shower again.
  12. I was so excited to buy a box of Fruit Loops. Imagine the devastation when I poured a bowl and realized they tasted like Trout Loops.
  13. "This world is only gonna break your heart." Well said, Chris Isaak.
  14. @subtheculture dang dang dang dang dang dang dang. Absolutely heart-wrenching news.
  15. So I'm dressing up as Santa Claus for the school Christmas program tonight. Should be ridiculous. And awesome.
  16. @KylesBeard ditto; I may have heard all of one or two songs in the bottom 50. The St. Vincent track, for one--which is pretty great.
  17. Thank God for 2x daily airings of The Simpsons and near-daily airings of LOST. Makes the rain-induced cabin fever a bit more bearable.
  18. FWIW: RT @pitchforkmedia Pitchfork's top 100 songs of 2009 launches today. #100-51 up now, the rest tomorrow. http://bit.ly/5e7JfP
  19. Man. Second straight day of getting stood up by new Kurdish friends. This pretty much sucks.
  20. "Oh, shut up! You're wasting valuable smashing time!" #bestsimpsonsquoteever
