add three more states to the list

here's a few more advance-screening favorites from the last two days!


UMass is lovely. We drove up to Amherst to visit yesterday.


Central Park is great fun.


It's also rather breathtaking.


The Toys "R" Us in Times Square is challenging the notion that everything is bigger in Texas.


Terrifying sound and motion included!

there's tons more great ones, but i'll stop here for now...

i've stepped into a million movies

lots more to come once i get home. i'm having an amazing time.

a laughable collection of characters

here suffers the missing canto of the discarded and discarding,
forever forced to see each other, necks chained in a ring.
"i dismiss you from my duty!" you can hear these sinners scream.
then poisoned afresh, each turns to the next to spread their evil sting.

(and now some relevant, less laughable ones by elliott smith:)
i had tender feelings that you made hard
but it's your heart, not mine, that's scarred
so when i go home i'll be happy to go
you're just somebody that i used to know
you don't need my help anymore
it's all now to you, there ain't no before
now that you're big enough to run your own show
you're just somebody that i used to know
i watched you deal in a dying day
and throw a living past away
so you can be sure that you're in control
you're just somebody that i used to know
i know you don't think you did me wrong
and i can't stay this mad for long
keeping ahold of what you just let go
you're just somebody that i used to know
