This is a decent blog, and a local post.

There's nothing for you here!
Sorry, I've just been watching the collected League of Gentlemen episodes on DVD, from which the above lines (with some liberties taken) come. It's a BBC show that got a little play on Comedy Central about four years back. They just released the entire series in the US this past July. It's one of the first things I wasted my time with upon arriving home. The show is hilarious, but dark, and sometimes downright scary. It just got done watching the 3rd season, pretty much straight through, and it's still got me quivering just thinking of some scenes.
Actually, now that I think of it, Quivering Fingertips might be a good band name.
I've been trying feverishly to get my new external DVD drive to work. Don't get me wrong, now. It plays stuff. However, I bought it so I could watch my German (Region 2) DVDs. It plays The Incredibles fine. The other two I have (Asterix und Obelix gegen Cäsar, 7 Zwerge), however, play very choppily, almost like it's having trouble processing the information so quickly. It's painful to listen to. I tried downloading the patch for Power DVD 5.0. I downloaded the newest version of DivX. I danced naked in the light of the quarter moon with my sacrificial chicken bones and goat innards. Nothing works! Anybody got any recommendations?
I've noticed something interesting about travelling. Both times that I've come back home, I keep thinking I see people that I knew where I was staying. I'll see a haird0 out of the corner of my eye and think "Oh, there's Terri! She used to come in and buy cigarettes every week." Or, "Hey, isn't that the girl who was in my German language course?" I wonder if it's because I'm trying to find some sort of familiar face around to help me re-adjust to where I am. I find it interesting.
Food for thought. And shoes for industry, too.
I'm off.
