We are the self preservation society

In five hours I'm off to England. I downloaded a London Underground map to use as desktop wallpaper this morning and it's driving me nuts with anticipation. The planning and runup to this trip is a pretty mindboggling and bizarre tale that I'd love to share in this space, but unfortunately I have to pull a Carter - it's just not suitable for public domain. Suffice it to say for now that it's just me and Jason going now, unfortunately Justin can't make it.

Carter, I'm sorry I wasn't able to write that list of the top 10 most misongynistic hip hop songs - I just haven't had time. Maybe when I get back. Sneak preview: the Beastie Boys will make the cut with the first rap lyric that I ever learned from Paul Revere: "I'll ride with you if you can get me to the border - the sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter - I did it like this - I did it like that - I did with Wiffle Ball Bat."

Peace out kids - I'll catch you on the other side.
