Paris!

Yep. I'm going to Paris. And it will be awesome. And yes, I just managed to delete my post, so this is the abridged version. We're leaving on Thursday, and getting back on Sunday, so never fear, I shall miss no updates for the Bearded Man Challenge. Speaking of which, there's one due today. But for that, I need the pictures from the entrants. And that's a whole other barrel of flaming monkeys*.
In any case, the Paris trip looks to be incredible, and for those of you seething with jealous rage as you read this (I know you're out there!), or those simply interested, I will make sure to take endless numbers of pictures, the best of which, I will post here. We don't have much in the way of an itinerary yet, but it seems we're to be going up the Eiffel tower (duh. Who doesn't?), and possibly making a trip out to Versailles one of the days. In all probability, we're likely to do the rest of the touristy stuff; the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Champs-Elysees...the list goes on. But, due to my parents' attitude towards computers and family trips, I will likely be incommunicado from Thursday until my return, at which point, I will check my email, and fully expect you to have sent me a flood of questions, comments, love notes, and hate mail, none of which I get enough of. If you're so inclined, my email is, as always, smithw12321@gmail.com.

In other news, you may have noticed some changes to the layout; I've put up a whole bunch of links, and a new poll. And before you ask, XKCD is not an acronym, it's simply a word with no phonetic pronunciation. The best way to explain the links is for you to, well, follow them. Enjoy!
