Also? While I accept that I saw very little of it, Denver was kind of... dull. Perhaps if I'd had more time.
But, in a shocking turn of events, the travel was completely and utterly uneventful. No repeats of the Salad Dressing Incident, and certainly nothing like the Batteries/Water-Spitting Incident. In fact, my flight back to Boston actually landed early. I feel like either a) it's the karmic wheel finally righting things, or b) it's karma just being a cruel bitch, and a plane is going to crash into my car en route to work or something tomorrow.
The coolest part was definitely when I landed. The Red Sox game was in full swing, and I'm obviously dying to know the score. I bolt off the plane, find my car, turn on the radio and... we're losing.
Balls.
I get in, start driving, get out of the tunnel and... Jason Bay cranks one, and we take the lead! Promptly followed by a text message from my friend Jen (aka the greatest friend in the history of friends) inviting me to game three on Sunday.
Not a bad way to return home.
I did have a review go up on Wednesday, for one of my favorite Shakespeare adaptations, Titus. Click here to read it, if you please.
Also, I just finished watching the VP debate. I loathe Sarah Palin. Loathe. She was so goddamn smug and artificial and folksy and "oh, I'm a maaaaverick" that I literally chipped a molar from grinding my teeth while watching.
Gah.

I grew up in Denver. You're not missing anything. Pretty, but boring.
Also, on Pajiba, you said everything I was thinking during the debate about 2 seconds before my posts appeared. So, I look like a total copycat. But, because I was echoing you, at least I looked like a *smart* copycat!
the denver airport is home to one of my favorite conspiracy theories regarding aliens and racism. it's awesome.
also titus? fan-fucking-tastic. every time i watch it, i spend the whole time wavering between admiration and total revulsion. it's great.
