get on the bus

the good airfare deals are growing ever fewer and farther between, putting a damper on the goin-places routine, so i was a little more amped than usual to hear about the arrival of the megabus to chicago. i'm not an avid bus rider (see: motion sickness), but for going to those not-so-far-away places, you can't beat the $1* fare, each-way. i'd even spring for the $3 and $5 fares; avoiding the road rage alone is worth the extra bucks.

a day trip to the milwaukee art museum to see the masters of american comics and toulouse-lautrec exhibits is on the books.

finally finished editing and uploading photos from the trip.... go have a look.

that's the edited version, checking in at a mere 250. there's a full 1,000+ photo album if you're that interested...

figures.

as of today, the US officially deems libya one of the good guys. hopefully that will ease up the visa-application mess, which is still a mess two and a half months after i got mine (a mere week before my departure).
