What's red and white and dark all over?

Long time no post. Can't really say I have a lot of news; just been reading a lot for my comp. exam. I went over to Daytona and Jacksonville last week to see some Elon buddies. I managed to spend two days conversing pretty much about NASCAR in Daytona and passed a delightful afternoon shopping in Jax. I even came out with a new shirt and some books I read as a kid that I had forgotten how much I loved. Thanks for the tip, Baabs.

I guess the only thing of note that's happened since I've been back to town was waking up yesterday and pretty much not being able to open my eyes. I was having a pretty bad allergic reaction to something, though I don't know what since I've never had an allergy in my life. I've lived in Florida for two years and never had a sniffle during spring. I'm pretty sure I was bitten by something, considering there are lots of spiders around my apartment. Though the swelling is all down, thanks to the pregnazone juice, my skin is still red and my eyelids are irritated. Blah.

Kaspar got a bath today. She loves me.

After reading The DaVinci Code yesterday, I went to see the movie today. Of course, there's a much richer historical and artsy aspect of the book that just can't happen in the movie, but I wasn't too terribly thrilled with Dan Brown's use of expository dialogue to schlog through that important info in the novel. The movie did a better job with Fache's character, I think, and made the connections with Opus Dei a little bit more clear. Only big question about the movie - what on earth is going on with Tom Hanks's hair?!

PS: I'll be headed yon Jackson way on June 4. Anyone going to be around? Anyone, anyone?
