america is ... weird. okay, to be fair, orlando is weird. portions of everything are ott. way over the top. save for the first day/midnite's fiasco with the service staff, the people over there are eh... more friendly than i gave them credit for.
i blame free alcohol (courtesy of the fellows from pd) and the tackiness of hooters.
managed to squeeze in a looky-look at the mall area on the last 2 days before the flight home and made the mistake of going to the barnes and noble and the fye stores.
bought:
ted kooser - delights and shadows
various old/dead people - tales before tolkien (the fantasy fan in me still alive)
nikki giovanni - blue
carl dennis - practical gods
emerson - late wife
bukowski - mockingbird, wish me luck
billy collins - sailing alone around the room
mark strand - selected poems
latest issue of the new yorker
1 x moleskin notebook
way too much anime - samurai champloo (whole set), TAG (whole set) ninja scroll, gilamesh, blood, etc etc.
oh and got dragged in to this, i went willingly, of course:
