Woohoo! The top ten! I'm so excited I spilled my coffee. Hills Brothers, with vanilla soy milk brought back as booty. Gotta love the booty.

I'm rocking out to some Death Cab for Cutie, sifting through all of the email that has collected since we departed from Seattle. It's a shame that Devil's Tower doesn't have the proper internet hook-up capabilities. It can summon UFO's but it can't help me update the blog? Bah! I'm writing my congressperson about this travesty.

But seriously forks, the Tower was amazing. Of course, as with any alien encounter, the camera jams (or just doesn't turn out)... so that explains the mwot picture. So let me explain. Imagine a ridculously star-speckled sky, non-stop, except for the outline of that ominous structure. Staring at us, surprised that anyone would pop in for a visit so late at night and so middle of winter. It was so pitch black out that I could hardly make out the 40 oz in my hand and Bix was just a floating red burning dot.

Name of the next HM song: Floating Red Burning Dot.

...and then the alien spaceship came and blah blah blah, you know the rest.

It's good to be home, but as with any long tour, I'm feeling a little PTD* and this insatiable urge to clean everything and then throw it all away. They still have not thought of a clever acronym for that dumb disease. My congressperson has been notified. Now to wrap the remainder of my presents and ponder a 2002 obsessive project. I have a few on deck (perhaps you know some of them?) but i'm not sure they're ready... and then it's off to write a nice handy tour diary for a zine in France. Seriously. Of course you can read it.

I love my mom, but she better stop forwarding me all of those cheesy Christmas emails!

*Post Tour Depression. Do your homework!
