Wow, this has been a lot harder to keep up with than I first thought. I am again sorry, but I hope you will understand I've been busy with work and all of that. Also, I have been having fun with Halloween (wow, a lot of the women realy do dress like sluts...) and of course seeing the mighty John Cleese, right here in Davis! He was absolutely hilarious, doing a show that was half stand up, half a talk on his life and times with its share of poignant moments. He did a fantastic skit on Weston-Super-Mare and how shit it is, which naturally I found more funny than 90% of the rest of the audience.
Back to Halloween. Although not quite the huge event I had expected, it was still bigger than anything that ever occurs in the UK, with whole shops just popping up for the event (you know those Christmas warehouses? Just like that, funniest thing I've ever seen. The womens section was just a cavalcade of sluttiness, and the mens section was... a wall.) It did mean I could get my hands on some half price bags of Halloween candy on November 1st and 2nd however, so I now have some tasty Milk Duds in the fridge.
Now that I'm enjoying it, I almost feel used to the fact I'm here, feel like I am a part of Davis. It's weird, almost like a second home, but then I think that is because for all intents and purposes it is my home, I've set it up as such. I miss all those back home of course and am looking forward to seeing you all again, but part of me wants you all to see it here too.
Thanks!

Hey man!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're still having an amazing time - John Cleese? RANDOM joy.
Halloween was amazing in Colorado when I went out but no Halloween department stores, that sounds bloody fantastic!
How long are you out there until again? June '10? Gah wish I could come out there - it sounds great. Hope you enjoy christmas as much away from ol' Blighty.
P.s. - all your Old Country comments make you sound REALLLLLY... Jewish.
