i made it back - alive!

i am back.. and the flight on the way back was smooth as pumpkin pie. i really made good use of my in air time and watched 2.5 movies. crash (while i thought it was a good movie, it left some questions in my mind.. be ready to defend it in 2 weeks emily...) pride and prejudice.. (this movie was great. not only was it set in england, but the story was a classic. i read "reading lolita in tehran" last year and they made soooo much reference to this book that i almost feel like re-reading that torturous book, but i'm not that much of a sadist.) and then i saw half od shopgirl, and i am so disappointed that netflix lists its release date as unknown... i might have to hunt it down at one of the smaller older run theaters... it was just getting good..

i was going to make a separate entry about days 7-8 but i guess i will just some it up here..

saturday and sunday were relatively lonely days. i did some of the sightseeing things, and lot of shopping (ouch) but on the whole, i was home by 5-7pm and watching tv/dvds in my hotel room. i really try to avoid going out to eat/drink by myself, i'm just not social enough to do that. :(

i do have some pictures that i will add to the album tonight though.

by the time monday came around i was ready to go back to the states. i was even having "driving dreams".. i was fiending for some good old, petal to the metal transportation. walking everywhere was very tiring.
