After driving for 12 hours, we get pulled over in Mississippi. As the Officer asked A. to please exit the vehicle and step back to the car, I swear I heard the banjo from "Deliverance" twanging in them thar' hills. A., being the genius that he is would not step out of the "video camera zone" so idiot cop could do untold horrifying things to him. I watched from my perch in the all terrain SUV, cell phone in hand. Idiot cop wanted to know why it took him "so long to pull over". So long being the mere seconds from when the lights went on to us finding the side of the road. Don't know how much sooner we could have stopped, unless we went back in time and stopped before the cop actually pulled us over. If we could do that though, we would have went around Mississippi completely. Instead the weird cop kept us by the side of the road for a mere 1/2 an hour as officer explained he pulled us over because he thought he saw us trading seats while driving. Impossible for that to be true, as I was in the beginning stages of sleep at the time. Cop probably wanted bribe? Who knows.

On bright side, got do drink the BEST Cosmopolitan EVER. Yummy. Got the recipe too. As soon as I dig it out of my bags, I'll post it for all to use.

In addition, got a Tarot reading in N.O. that was very positive (by real Romani Gypsy, no less). Went on a "Bar Crawl". Did not end up literally crawling, although did feel as if wanted to. Ate a lot of fried food, as that is the only kind of food available in L.A. Got sick from the fried food, and ate more. Now need to diet more than ever, as fried food has many calories.

After spending seven days in a row with A., sans DSL, am sure which I'd choose to take on a deserted island with me: A.
If I had DSL, I'd be able to contact people and they'd come to the rescue, which would be horrible. Alone in 1/2 nekkid deserted island dress with A. could only lead to happiness. Have to admit, would miss toothbrush. :o)
