The first thing you should do is click here. That is an absolutely riveting article about ampersands and their uses and origins. I actually drew an ampersand on my hand as I was reading that article ( well, two actually, in different styles. They can be seen on my twitpic account, here. ) and then, forgetting that skin has naturally occurring oils in it and that they were on the back of my hand, I got two ampersands on my face from leaning on the back of my hand while I was reading the article. >.<

In other, far more interesting news, we have a new blog theme. And name. We're "Across the Pond" because we are now populated by an half English, half American cast, and because we like to travel, etc etc etc.

LU! How will you be flying to Japan? Will you be going over Europe or over the US? Europe I'd assume, but still… You should try and stop over in Dallas lol. I'd come hang out with you for a few hours =)

The tagline is from "Lost[ !, ?, @, or + ]" by Coldplay from their album Viva La Vida. And I think it fits us all fairly well right now. =)

What else…?

Well, the pretty brown background is now officially done with. I really did like it a lot. But I love this one too. So, hopefully, things will go well.

I'm going to go kip, I think. I'm very drowsy. ( I'm still half sick, you see. )

If the DVD drive on my laptop still worked, I would watch V for Vendetta in bed and fall asleep =) I could watch it on my tv, but I gave away both my tvs and my dvd player. Hopefully Michael and Jon are enjoying them. Well, mostly Michael. He's such a sweetie =D

Change of plan. I'm going to type up two or three old poems before I vamoose.

xxdruxx

[ PS, I'm going to use your "A to Z" okay, Lu? Cuz I love music and i think some people need to hear some yum.

Today: A - A Fond Farewell to A Friend by Elliott Smith. The most played song on my iPod with about 70-something plays. Brilliant album ( From a Basement on the Hill ), brilliant song. Go buy it on iTunes, it's only 99ยข. ]
