goodbye, and good luck

i've been hit--twice, in fact--by this 7 by 7 blogmeme. once from follow liberal coalitioner ntodd and the other from cheryl rofer at whirledview. actually, i don't think i was even aware of the whirledview site until i noticed that i had been tagged. hey cheryl, have you been lurking here all along? or did you just tag me at random because you needed a seventh victim?

anyway, i'm not responding now. i'm mostly posting this to remind me to do it later if i get time (and if i feel like it--i have been known to blow off blogmemes before). it won't be until after the weekend however. mrs. noz and i are off to sunny minnesota for the pagan holiday. i'm looking forward dusting off the bathing suit and hours of lounging by the beach improving my tan. maybe, if i'm lucky, i will be able to pick up some of the exotic local language.

unlike some of the other distant places i've posted from before (like uzbekistan and syria) minnesota doesn't have the internet yet. no matter how many times they try to set it up, the dinosaurs keep eating the fiber-optic cables. so unless they come up with a good dino-repellent, you won't have noz to kick around for a couple of days. consider it as a holiday for us both.

oh, i almost forgot. i am pleased to announce that rubber hose is the number five hit if you google "jesus was a mexican". i'd like to thank the academy, all the little people i had to step on to reach this exalted position, and to wish all my readers a merry eid.

except, of course, sarah. fuck you, sarah!
