Triumphant Return for my Departure

Contrary to Gigli's unpopular belief, I am not Lithuanian. However, the next 10 days of my life will be spent in that popular tourist trap, Vilnius Lithuania. Yes, June 29th marks not only the release of the wildly hyped iPhone, but also my first trip to the land of Vaiva's ancestors.

Oh, hey.

I got right into it there.

Where have I been for the last year? I'd rather not say. And the only important thing to know is that I've been. And now I'm here. And soon I'll be there. In Lithuania. Oh, one thing I guess I could talk about. I've always been a Talking Heads fan, but over the course of the last year my fandom has reached its peak, partly due to George's input, more so due to my bartering for my Zune which has upped my music listening 5 billion %, but mainly due to performances like this one. Seriously. If I had any singing/performance ability, and Lord knows I don't, I'd do that at the Careoke and literally melt faces off. Well, maybe figuratively. I guess hopefully figuratively. But c'mon! I really think everyone should watch Stop Making Sense. Alright, enough of my shameless promotion.

As I was saying, I will be departing for Lithuania in just a matter of hours now. I think Vaiva may have just purchased me a digital camera, which could be cause for some interesting snap shots along the way to have a photo log of my misadventures. Is there anyway I can get someone to sponsor me on this? Stride Gum sponsored some guy to do this all around the world. Travel Channel presents DET Blogs in Different Places, or perhaps Global Murder (Nick has pointed out that typing things like this on the internet will get me targeted by Big Brother, so if they don't let me back into the country, I will miss you all). I think that has a certain ring to it.

Anyway, this is certainly completely disjointed. I don't have the time to do this! Only travel related note is that the wheel on my suitcase is busted and so I drag/slide the thing, making me more awkward and clumsy then normal, as well as a threat to all pigeons, squirrels, and open toed shoes. I freaking miss writing this thing. I will update as frequently as I can.

Please tell my new assistant how awesome I am until she finds out the truth on Tuesday.
