let's play a game!

let's assume you've never been to europe (or out of the country in general). you have 30 days to mess around there (all of november). where would you go? how much money would you bring? would you buy a eurail pass or individual train tickets? have hostel recommendations? know anyone you can crash with? how long would you stay in any given place? would you fly into / out of london if you found a round trip ticket for $275 ?

man, what a fun game!

metropolitian friday, chillaxing saturday, superman returns & the mall with abby and brian, see no evil (the mia farrow movie), deadwood, crabcakes @ lexington market, cleaning my house, working on server stuff with christian, hanging with seipp and kid, driving around artscape, djing @ the ottobar, jager shots.... thanks for the fun, guys.

I like to read, but I'm not a very good reader. I'm naturally a slow reader, and I'm notorious for setting a book down for weeks before I pick it up again. Even if it's a good book, my mind tends to wander, and I have trouble focusing on my reading. If there's a lot of loud conversation going on around me, I have trouble shutting that out. What's your ideal reading environment? Do you have any reading rituals you go through to enhance your experience?
