"Goodbye Oxfahd!" and "Chillin Stateside."
Been home a few days now.  Won't write much now as have been emailing for a bit now and am ready for the sleep.  Miss you all on the other side.  Look forward to seeing you all on this side.
Some updates (non-important):
1) films watched since last blog: Around the World in 80 Days (there was nothing else playing---it was pretty bad---the Wilson bros. were amusing), Anything Else and Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (saw these on the plane.  everyone knows good old woody has seen betta days.  should like to see Annie Hall again. v.v. good; Diego Luna is interesting to look at, shall we say), and Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring (again.  and again I still don't see what all the mega-fuss is about---I mean books are one thing.  and I suppose it's one of those movies that just is a whole lot better on the big screen, but I just got sick of seeing Frodo's hand opening and closing and opening and closing and everyone just generally convulsing about the g****am ring!)
2) books completed: Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods (his first big hit.  I love Bill. He's great.  His best effort, in my opinion is Notes From a Small Island, which I've read twice--possibly because I so closely identify with it and all.  Neither Here nor There was good.  And I'm a Stranger Here Myself was too.  None of them were as good as Notes From a Small Island.  I still haven't read all of Mother Tongue nor have I finished Troublesome Words--but this isn't really a 'reading' book per se)
 
Tomorrow I will see Spiderman 2 for my nephew's birthday.  He is ten!  This I cannot believe.  And now I must sleep.  Perhaps I will write something more coherent and interesting tomorrow, or perhaps the day after that.  And when I do, perhaps it will not be coherent and perhaps it will not be interesting.
Good night.
