and to elaborate on the road trip and to catch up on the past week or so:

florida was fun. the weather was pretty nice for florida, as i don't deal well with stoopid summery heat. matt's dad is a cool cool guy. blow is a great movie, so go see it. the beach was awesome - i went 3 times and got zero sun each time (twice at night, once during a cloudy day). the sea was angry, my friends. posiedon was angry indeed - violent waves and strong rip current make for not good swimming. monster plantation was...interesting. pecans (peh-kahns, not pee-cans, damnit!) are tasty and make good candy. it's good to have martin, brad and mike in the fort (you guys kick ass!). my grades were good. my new bike is great. ray, mn, kate and kim baby's new house is pimptastic. their party really whipped the pony's ass. it was good to see mark (not markh, although it's always good to see markh) and antonio again. a good drunken debaucherous time was had by all. banana needs a bit more work. pbnj is afu at the moment, hopefully i'll have that sorted out today.

i'm sure i have more sentence fragments to post, but this must be the most boring-ass post ever.
