my town of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho has one of the finest lakes in all of the Northwest. there is a large and luxurious resort right on the water and next to the charming downtown. Silverwood Theme Park is a few miles north of town and is one of the only sizable amusement parks in the Northwest.

Pee Wee Herman went to my school.

Liverpool is the birthplace of many shit bands, from The Beatles to Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

Echo and The Bunnymen were okay though.

my birthplace, Wichita, is the largest city in the state of Kansas.

that's really all there is to say about it. it's pretty fucking boring.

high school debate is holding its national championship there this year. i have some friends who are going. they asked me what it was like or what they could do for fun. i laughed.

I don't like the place where i live right now and it depresses me to the extent that i want to move out of it, as far as i can get .My birthplace ( Oristano) is just as shit for other reasons.

We have the Walker Art Center for "high culture," and we have the Book Trader for your "pickled-mutant-pig-embryo-with-eight-legs-in-a-jar-of-formaldehyde-or-perhaps-an-inlaid-human-or-monkey-skull" needs.

london is a huge city and there's lots to do, but there isn't much that is particularly amazing, it just has generic big city things and a ridiculously overpriced public transport system.

[!@#$%!]

where i currently live is shit so i wont say. of course new mexico has all those beautiful landscapes blah blah blah but i can't eat sand.

my adoptive hometown of washington dc however kicks ass. i'd recommend going for the duck soup at full kee, book shopping at chapters & the second story warehouse, movies at e-street cinema, concerts at the black cat & the rocknroll hotel, some nice shots of rye at the temperance hall, live jazz at hr 57, a month of seclusion at the library of congress, and free movies at the national art gallery, then all the smithsonians, falafel at the amsterdam falafelshop, coffee & smokes @ tryst (can one still smoke there??), burgers at 5 guys, beer at the brickskeller, bbq at this place on 8th st. NE and i forget teh cross street, plays at the shakespeare theatre, opera @ the kennedy center, movies @ the afi, pastries at stella's in rockville, & on & on. i <3 dc and i'll be back.

Hehe. I tend to be so magnanimous with what's going on with this or that, that it's just doing more damage than it's doing good. It's not as bad as it sounds. I need to get the hell outta here. Soon.

The most fucked-up and counterintuitive street layout ever.

oh it's a grid, a total grid w/ 4 quadrants:

NW NE
SW SE

with the capitol (congress, mind you, not the white house) smack in the middle

number streets run N-S, and the number increases as you go farther from the center.

so there are actually TWO 1st, 2nd, 3rd street-- etc (1 set on the east the other in the west).

same with the letters but the letters run E-W

AVENUES have STATE NAMES & cut DIAGONALLY. they cross on this circles where there are statues, parks, people-- like dupont circle

 

eat your heart out, minnehaha!

(actually, i'll eat MY heart out cos i don't live there anymore).


hhmmmm... CRAP!!!!
