Just returned from a fantastic little excursion to Dover and Kent. Two life changing experiences were a direct result of this trip: 1) Starburst now makes a candy called "choozers," which is a Starburst filled with sour/sugary ooze. These little pieces of heaven combine the classic flavor of Starbursts with the advanced goo-infusion technology of Gushers. I love them like crack-cocaine. 2) I now know that it is possible for me to function (though somewhat poorly) with 2 hours of sleep in a 72 hour period.
Aside from perfecting the art of looking retarded in every picture taken of me, my time this weekend was spent at various estates and castles belonging to the National Trust. We saw Dover castle, Winston Churchill's home, the estate of Virginia Woolf's possible lesbian lover (see dialogue below), and the mansion of some rich guy from Connecticut. I also got to see France, a deer farm, secret tunnels, a cannon, and lots of old furniture (and people).
Tour Guide: This is a splendid 14th century carving of a Tudor rose with a beautiful stain and meticulous--
Me (interrupting): Is this the room where Virginia Woolf banged that chick?
Oh yeah, and we took an overnight train to get there and back, hence the title of this entry and the reason for life changing experience #2
