This morning, around 5:30, I got around to purchasing my birthday gift from my mom:
Lonely Planet books. I bought Ireland, England, Scotland, and France in preparation for my summer excursions. In addition, I threw in Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia in my cart, because I'll be needing those in the summer of 2010. Not only did Lonely Planet help me tremendously in South America, but the book taught me so much. I would never have thought of waking up around 3:30 am in order to see Machu Picchu at sunrise. Little suggestions and helpful reminders here and there made my Peru experience so much more epic. Literally every word I read I found to be accurate; the writers know what they're talking about. Thanks Lonely Planet!
In other news, I'm a huge fan of
Collegehumor, and I just recently got around to reading all of their blogs. Not only are they hilarious, but incredibly interesting. I love the entire cast, but my favorite blog has to be
Sam Reich's. I have no idea why, but he fascinates me. On it, I discovered several other epic blogs and this really
good
song.
good song.
