We have gotten lost no less than seven times today. Prolly closer to ten times.

*Icka Starts Talking About Saguru being Jealous over Kaito in an TGA chapter WIP.*
*Radio Starts singing 'Hey, Jealousy'.*
Icka! & Mati: ....
Icka!: ... I have told you about my radio karma, right?
Mati: No?
Icka! *points to radio*: That.

This has continued throughout the trip, songs either following local landmarks or lyrics following the conversation. (as Icka's typing: "where's your story, where ya going?") Other really good one was Elton John's 'Benny and the Jets' as planes take off next to us as we're driving past an airport. [Edit: Passing by Mt. Zion Rd "What if God was One of Us?"]

The songs that are following us are Smashmouth's 'All Star' and Third Eye Blind 'Semi-Chamred Kinda Life'. Highly amused by this.

Icka!: What does it say that we're on a Country Music channel and I'm not inclined to change it?
Mati: That we've been in the South too long.
Icka!: ... Right.
*leaves the channel playing*

-We're noticing that we get more country stations the future north we get. The accent and polite hostility of strangers (although the ladies at the Cave Town Farmer's Market were sweethearts) seems to increase the closer we get to the Mason-Dixon line. Waiting to see how it gets in Ohio.

Cannot get over how green it is here. Yeah, okay, been living in Tucson for a while now where the palette is kind of muted, but there's just like TREES everywhere. It's not as green as the South Island of NZ, but it's close. Different greens, there is more Green-Yellow here, rather than Green-Blue. Kinda neat seeing the granite rock next to the sides of the road. Way cool, neat texture too.

We keep running into odd city names, like Warsaw, Sparta, England, Verona, Lebenon, Sonora. It's kinda like a mini-world tour. On a water tower: 'FLORENCE, Y'ALL'

We also ended up driving past this Giant Jesus.

Then we had lunch with kosaginolegion and Partner in Crime, which rocked. I need to draw more Black Cat now. >D

Got lost on the way to joisbishmyoga's place, Jo ended up having to talk us through the freeway system and yume_no_kage walked to the end of the street to direct us from there.

And then we stayed up until three am talking. ^^;;

G'night!

You know, it just occurred to me: why does Jesus look like he's doing synchronized-swimming? He DOES. Yep. **takes a second look** He looks like he's about to launch into the back-stroke or possbly do a circular backwards underwater maneuver. Wow. **shakes head**
