This is what happens to watermelons when they go bad...

Actually, this watermelon behaved itself and we made it sit in the corner with a bottle of vodka. That's just how we roll.

I spent this past weekend out of the city (yay!) between the Hamptons and Montauk. A friend of a friend's parents have a house out there so a bunch of us went and crashed there for the weekend, which was loads of fun.

The funniest part of the weekend was when two classmates of one of the people showed up. No one else knew them at all while the rest of us were all sort of in 'six degrees of separation' from each other since social networks tend to web us together. Anyway, the two newbies to the group were weird. The gal was ok- just a bit quiet. But the guy was just uncouth and loud. He was the epitome of 'ugly american.' He complained about the food- which he didn't help cook. Then, he expected people to serve him and bring him things. Everyone ignored him and kept on eating and talking and when he brought it up again, someone basically said 'Well, I'd walk in the kitchen and find it if you want it.' At that point he got the blatent hint and walked into the kitchen to get ketchup himself.

The rest of the weekend was halarious and I am more on the tan side of skin tone instead of translucent. :-)

Around the world...without the fun Daft Punk beat.

I may be going on a business trip. And, perhaps I won't. I've got about as much information on this as anyone does. The only thing that I do know is that I will be spending 41 hours on an airplane within a two week period. If we make it a three or four week period, you can add 3 to 5 more hours to that total. This number seems quite large since I get bored really easily. Even on my last flight out to California, I watched a marathon of Footballers Wives and still flipped through to the other channels just to see if there was anything else on. During all of this, I also had a freshly stocked iPod, two new magazines, a book and my laptop. What would I do with 40 hours of being stuck on a plane?

If I do indeed go, I can only hope and pray to sleep for 20 of those hours. That leaves me 20 or so hours. A couple of movies I guess? Maybe a few magazines as well? It might be high time to actually use the Korean book and cds and see if I can learn something. All in all, we'll see.

I think I am about as excited to go as I am not to go. Is that possible?
