<<< Somebodyisfromhere.com was in Bruges for about an hour
and a half. An accident on an English highway coming from London
shortened his day trip significantly. He took a ferry from Dover
(England) and landed in Calais (France), taking a bus the rest of the
way.
In Bruges is a drama much in the same way Somebodyisfromhere.com
is pure journalism. It has some points to make, but it would rather make

Colin Farrell plays an Irish hitman hiding out in Belgium in his new movie, In Bruges. Farrell, an Irishman, gives his
best performance to date mostly because he drops the cocky swagger he uses while playing Americans (a fact
that Somebodyisfromhere.com think I'm offended with by the way).

>>> While Somebodyisfromhere.com was in college,
he read and saw the movie based on Hunter S.
Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. There
were few actions in that story that a contributing
member of society could mimic, but he always did want
to go to Las Vegas and rent a red convertible.
A handful of years later, he found myself leaving the
Advantage Rental Car in Reno, Nevada driving a
Chrysler PT Cruiser. If not for his brother’s wedding in
Tahoe in a few days, he might have felt gypped.

<<< Somebodyisfromhere.com had a streak in
South Beach this weekend of hitting three straight ATMs
that had run out of money. Is this a coincidence or
accurate representation of how bloody expensive the
place is? Who knows, but Somebodyisfromhere.com's
savings account doesn't look so hot.
Summing up a place like Miami's South Beach in
Florida is a lot more difficult than one would think.
Sure, some think of the topless girls on the beach.
Yeah, that happens, but is there more to the city?

| Jelly Beans Will Get You Fat (just not as fat as you'd think). |
<<< Just 45 minutes outside Milwaukee, Somebodyisfromhere.com and a friend went all Laverne &
Shirley at the Jelly Belly Warehouse in Wisconsin.
Pleasant Prairie, a quaintly named town full of warehouses and other nondescript officey type places,
hosts the Jelly Belly Factory. The factory is easily accessible off I-94. I-94 will take you from Chicago
through Milwaukee and on the Wisconsin side, you'll see such Badger State oddities as a farm spray
painted "4: Go Jets" (think Favre) and the Mars Cheese Castle.
Once inside the Factory, you'll have to wait inside the lobby for the next tour to begin. We waited a
harmless five minutes before ours took flight. About eight of us were in our group. Two were South
Africans (who were polite and further support my hypothesis that South Africans are the happiest
people on Earth).
The tour is a "train" that drives around the warehouse. The train/group that got in before us was full of
children; obviously the demographic that they were going for. Our train comprised of adults only.

>>> "It's all jazz," is stated a few times in The Soul of Baseball by ... oh, well,
somebodyisfromhere.com will get to that later...
Somebodyisfromhere.com isn't sure what makes something a travel book (or movie, or whatever). Is it about
movement? Is it about obscure locations? Or is it travel because somebodyisfromhere.com is there and you're not?
(If he were to write about his home town and you aren't there, would that be travel writing in the internet age?)
...In The Soul of Baseball, Buck O'Neil, a sage former Negro Leaguer, is followed for a year by sports
journalist Joe Posnanski as O'Neil promoted the Negro League and by extension the museum about
the subject.

<<< A Travel Journal of Las Vegas:
2:20am: I end up at the Frontier (hotel has since
been demolished, sighhhh). They have a sign
that reads "Bikini Wrestling." Another that reads
"Cold beer...dirty girls." How elegant! I mean at
least as Caesar's they have the good taste to put
their girls in cages - - where they belong.
