... moi-m�me in Paris. I still can't believe I'm doing this. It's not as if I haven't done it before: when Monique sent out an all-call from Hong Kong and said that flights were cheap, I think I was the only one who took her up on it. I was unemployed, feeling lost and broke, and went anyway. It was a pretty awesome trip. And let's not forget my trip to Puerto Rico that I almost took by ...

Got into Washtington late afternoon and was a little surprised at how quiet it was as the evening rolled in. There were hoards gathered around the White House but the had the National Mall almost to myself as I walked from the Lincoln Monument up to Capitol Hill. Things were a bit livelier the following night in Georgetown where the pubs were packed for the second Presidential debate.

... the right to resist' the sovereign. A few exceptions are tolerated. When overwhelmed by an enemy they may retreat for the sake of self-preservation. In a similar vein "[w]hen [...] refusal to obey frustrates the End for which Soveraignty was ordained [...] there is no Liberty to refuse: otherwise there is." This implies that the sovereign can be resisted by soldiers too. Hobbes presents a number of cases. First punishment for not picking up arms can be ...

... to California Logan circle was drug addicts and other seedy sorts,sitting and hanging out on the steps of mansions and beautiful buildings in various states of disrepair. I had said that who ever could renovate it would make a mint....Now it is one of thew most sought after area of the city to be in. Merry Christmas everybody,blessings to you and your family...and to my most precious friend, I hope you are seeing lot's of beautiful animals.

... checking bags to avoid the risk of loss. What a catastrophe that would be! One crucial item that we have purchased are SmartWool socks. These things are pretty cool. They're thick wool socks that are ultra-comfortable, keep your feet cool, moist wicking, odor resistant and wash and dry quickly. So you get more wear out of them and can pack less. They compliment a good pair of tennis shoes, necessary ...

... craving, to be honest I've just been far too busy! Can't wait til my day off tomorrow...I know I've only just started...so I can take some awesome pictures, I swear the lake is lush, and there's real sand! Quite a few Aussies and Kiwis here surprisingly, about a 1/3 of the staff are American so at the moment because there are no kids it feels pretty empty..and a bit like we're the kids being looked ...

... this town. We won't spend much time here though. In fact we headed out almost imediatley to meet another friend of Clare's who lived in the hip East Village area. It took a bit of finding as the 300, 10th St East near 1st avenue, from West 20th and 8th route was somesort of mathmatical nightmare... Oh well, jetlag may not have helped. We'd been up since 5.30am in England and had a few the night before. I did sleep on the place a bit, but not enough not to notice the ...

... much is exactly the same. For 1, when I arrived in '03, I came alone. Now, not only is Julie sitting at my side, but Natalie is pulling at my pantleg! The most glaring similarity about this flight is that, in general, I feel nothing. I am just sitting here. 3 years ago I wrote about my lack of nervousness, excitement, sadness, etc. and again, I feel nothing. Sure, I am sad to be leaving A'dam and our lives. When we moved here, we were kinda 'ready' to leave but now ...

... gooey pastel mess spill out into a drooly mess down the front of your Chewbacca t-shirt." "Id' really rather not hear this right now." "You'd be amazed how many packs of Smarties a kid can eat at one time. One kid claimed he ate so many Smarties that he went to the bathroom and ******* Smartie candies. That's probably in this museum somewhere, too." A woman standing near us was staring open-jawed at a tiny half-formed fetus and muttering, "Oh my God. Oh my God," to herself. I ...
