I’m wishing I were in New Orleans today. More than usual, I mean.

I’m back in Baltimore until tomorrow. I had a course on research ethics (8 hours to say “don’t abuse human subjects…”), and have been shipping, selling, and giving away the remnants of my stuff that didn’t make it to MN on the first trip.

Every time I get up to use the restroom or whatever, I walk into the wrong room (my old one) when I come back. This has happened at least three times, and several more times where I’ve stopped myself before actually opening the wrong door. I guess I can’t unlearn almost a year’s worth of habit forming in one day.

My friend Ben posted this on his LiveJournal, and it just made my day. I hope you like it too. Despite the fact that this guy’s done several of these, this new one feels just as novel.
