�� the world shines as i cross the mason county line ��

2.VII.2003 :::: 19.24

in the morning we are driving to georgia. rather, we are starting to drive toward georgia & expect to get there in the early evening. we are going because bean's cousin is getting married. her whole familia is driving up from miami & we are driving down from ohio & you know i have never met her familia before, oh my. it's always a little rough to Meet The Familia & even rougher when they (the familia) don't know you're the girlfriend-not-just-the-roommate & even rougher when you get to do all of this in another language.

but at least they like me without having met me, & they think i am a good influence on bean (it must be the churchgoing), & surely i will knock their calcetines off with my brilliant command of spanish, which is especially strong in the areas of conquest-era mexican artwork, names of animals, swearing, & medicine.

anyway! driving to georgia! just up to the very northeastern bit of it, up in the mountains.

we are taking a huge stack of audiobooks with us: the valley of the dolls, the circus fire (abridged), some collection of letters to?/from? howard hughes (!), the new margaret atwood. i wanted to get stephen hawking's theory of everything, read by the author (the packaging said "delivered by the author), but bean vetoed that.
