While his entire experience is definitely worth the read, you must go to Brendan’s page and at least read from the first occurrence of the word “flashing.” sigh … not only am i trapped in Philadelphia, but i don’t think i’m ever going to get to a country where Americans aren’t treated like shit … or at least, i won’t be able to speak the language enough to appreciate it. Anyhow, it’s exactly 12hours later there than here, and Brendan seems to be shocked that i’m on IM. The wonders never cease, folks…
