Notes from a Small Island — A travelogue by Bill Bryson. He lived in England for twenty years starting in the early '70s, and decided to take a trip around Britain (mostly) without driving so he could see the whole place one last time before moving back to the US with his family. This is the funniest thing I've read in years. How did I miss it when it was published in the mid-'90s? I'll never look at train enthusiasts the same way again, let me tell you.

First world problem: where to go out this weekend?

No, this is not a poll, because I wouldn't necessarily pay any attention to the results, but my options are many and comments are of course welcome:

1. Pezzner (half of Jacob London) et al. at Chop Suey Friday for their Broken Disco night - Much groove, but maybe more than I want to spend.
2. Club V on Saturday night - The baked good is iffy.
3. Riz Rollins at Re-bar for Stevie Wonder's birthday and Riz's engagement. The latter is a big deal because Riz, for those of you who don't know, is a big fag. I'm not much for Stevie Wonder, though.
4. One of two Burner parties on Saturday - 'Tis the season for fundraising.

Oh yeah: Sunday is going to be a big yard work day.
