The Big Christmas Road Trip
It looks like I'm taking off next Saturday! This is basically a huge realization for me considering the last two times I wrote out the date I had to stop myself from writing November. This is typically the way I approach my travels. I guess I just like the rush of a deadline.
I'm not sure which way we'll be making the visits, probably towards NY. There seems to be more time allowance.
the tentative breakdown:
Day 1: Austin, TX to New Orleans, LA
Day 2: New Orleans, LA to Columbus, MS
Day 3: Columbus, MS to Charleston, SC
4 Days to get to Connecticut / New York
5 Days home
5 Days to return to New Orleans for New Years
Day 18: Back in Austin

POLL: Which Home Movies character is more ridiculous and amazing?
Home Movies is the most amazing thing to have ever happened to Adult Swim. No contest. BUT picking a favorite character, well, that could be a contest. To me the top contenders are 8 yr old film and candy enthusiast Jason Penopolis and the lovable misguided soccer coach John McGuirk.
Jason Penopolis
Coach McGuirk
It's hard to pick a favorite, as they are both so entertaining. Some days I think Jason is by far the greater entertainer of the two, and other times I cannot imagine anything funnier than Coach McGuirk. Obviously this is a serious dilemma.
