So I bet you're wondering what I'm doing? Well, I'm working on a scale model of a chair for my design class. My teacher (Robert Ebendorf, if anyone knows him) wants me to adorn it using only pen and ink. So I've opted for a design based of the Book of Kells. Coming along nicely, don't you think? Oooh my eyes are getting tired from staring at all those lines! Too right about Eastern NC barbeque. All we have in Jacksonville (my home when I'm not at school) is Smithfield's, which is too vinegary and also too hot. There's supposed to be some good BBQ here in Greenville at a place called Bum's. Did you even see the BBQ guy on PBS who puts the food in his mouth, shows no visible signs of chewing, talks normally, and then starts chewing? I swear he must have cheek pouches! Mmmm, Aine, I could go for some REAL pork hash, with barbeque sauce! Got any? BTW howdy there, JL! What news from the south?
