Following the lead of others, I've updated my visited countries list (no, I didn't include Panama, because, I guess an airport stop doesn't really count). I've been to 21 countries, only 9% of the world!

Its going to be a long day today. To complete my week, I have to work over 10 hours today, which I don't think is going to happen. Guess I'll have to use some vacation time to make up the difference. The thing that bugs me is that next week is going to be REALLY busy, and here I am struggling to get time in this week. Oh well.

No exciting plans for the weekend: party at Matt & Steph's new house tonight, party at my house (Nick is having a lego construction party) tomorrow night, some sleeping and life-organizing, and buying a dress for Matt & Steph's wedding. That about sums it up.

I'm actually not feeling so hot right now. I stay healthy all the way through Peru, and now its almost like this stupid American food is making me occasionally sick to my stomach. Bizarre.

I am not nearly as excited as Irwin about the fall season (probably because I don't watch as much t.v.). But I was *very* entertained by the Apprentice last night, and then the pilot for "Medical Investigations." Though, too bad that show probably won't last, with its Friday night at 10 pm timeslot. Oh well.
