Even the sky looks different here. And I miss the African sky already.

But yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am back in the US! I'm staying at the shack, but I'll admit that I didn't sleep at all yet.

I spent the early part of the evening chatting with pattiejoe and booksymagnifico but Patrick eventually wandered off to bed (and meli123) and Mason and I kept talking until about an hour ago. But of course now I can't sleep so I'm awake. I have to pick up my rental car in like, 3.5 hours anyway!

Maybe I'll wander downstairs and forage for food. Mason took me to 7-11 and of course we got Slurpees, I froze, unaccustomed to the A/C and I marveled at the horror that is Cheese-Fries-In-A-Bag.

I feel like such a tool but sort of like an alien. When I was on the plane they were like "Do you want ice?" and my response was "God no! Is it made with tap water?"

Or, seeing a public drinking fountain in Heathrow airport, I recoiled with disgust.


I did however indulge in a tall peppermint frappuccino and barely contained the urge to run around the Heathrow airport as Cornholio. Oh, caffeine! Oh, sugar! Oh mocha! Oh ecstasy!

I think I'm becoming delirious. Woops.
