Had some very painful cortisone shots in my wrists 2. Saw Harrison Ford across a street and nearly got run down trying to get closer 3. Wished someone well, said an agonizing goodbye, got my heart broken (for the 1,000,000th time), cried in an airport parking lot for an hour (and realized that I wouldn't be able to listen to Astronauts & Heretics again for a very long time) 4. Drank a pitcher of margaritas by myself (and watched an episode of "ER" written by a friend, who used my porn star name in the script) 5. Had a hangover that reminded me why tequila is not - and never will be - my friend 6. Witnessed a fatal (and really, really bizarre) car accident in front of my home on Friday the 13th 7. Had some more cortisone shots in my wrists and hissed curses at the doctor as he gave 'em to me 8. Saw the Dalai Lama and laughed a lot 9. Paid $4.50 to see the Star Wars trailer (and actually sat through all three scenery-chewing hours of "Meet Joe Black" to see the trailer again) and remembered what it was like to be eleven years old - naive, innocent and totally enraptured by magic 10. Got turned down for a zillion jobs - and found a zillion more to apply for 11. Had a belated birthday dinner with my friend the CIA agent (which was really, really strange) 12. Finally sent something off (my Thailand story) to a magazine to see if my stuff is worthy of being published... How have y'all been? It's nice to be back. Bloody wrists still hurt and I'm typing slowly, but at least I'm typing. Cheers, Melissa - ----------------- Melissa R.

Dare I ask the reference (I'm fearing that I may sound ignorant in >asking but I'm doing so anyway)? > >Rochelle > Peter Mandelsson is a prominent English politician, a prime mover and shaker at the moment, but it's been alleged that he's gay. This might be enough of a revelation in its own right, but now the BBC has been banned from making any mention of this chap as he's a friend of John Burt, the chief honcho at the Beeb. This goes against the grain as far as a lot of the Beeb staff are concerned, as they've always prided themselves on being impartial and reporting the news without fear of censorship. Needless to say, some Beeb broadcasters are finding imaginative ways of NOT saying things about 'he who shall not be named' in such a way that no one is in any doubt about who they mean.
