<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: small;">Lately - I've been spending online time looking at shoes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: small;">Lots of shoes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: small;">Because, after all, it isn't like I have homework to do... or papers to write.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: small;">Er.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: small;">Anyway.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: small;">These are some of my fave finds. What can I say? High heels are favorite!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: small;">And! </span><a href="http://www.toms.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: small;">TOMS</span></span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: small;"> shoes are always comfy and cute, and they donate a pair of shoes for every pair you buy. What's not to love?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Last week was crazy.</span></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And I don’t mean crazy-fun-so-many-random-things-happened. I mean, so many tests, midterms, projects, and papers piled into five days, it made me feel crazy.</span></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Let me tell you, I wasn’t too crazy about it.</span></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Anyway.</span></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Went to the <a href="http://www.high.org/main.taf?p=0">High Museum</a> on Saturday because general admission for college students is only $5 this month (and this month only! promotion/good hype/plug). We were headin’ there to see the <span id="goog_1256789096542"></span><a href="http://www.high.org/main.taf?p=3,1,1,15,1">Da Vinci exhibition</a><span style="font-size: 16px;"> (a no-photo exhibit). </span></span></span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The artwork was amazing.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Current location: Atlanta, GA</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18px;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When you think of the South, you probably think of down-home cookin’, country music, and that distinct Southern style of speech that only makes sense to other Southerners.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18px;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And when I say that, I ain’t just whistlin’ Dixie.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18px;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And yet, a true telltale mark of the South is… weather. For most of the year, it’s hot here. I mean fry an egg on the sidewalk, flies drop in mid-flight hot. And humid. Seriously - they don't call it 'Hotlanta' for nothin'.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18px;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But not so this past week. It happened to be cold. People were unprepared.</span></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Me: Dude, it’s freezing. You need some gloves.</span></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Southerner: Nah, it won’t last long. Where’re my flip-flops?</span></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Me: Bless your heart.</span></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But they’re right. It doesn’t last long. Cold and hot, it goes back and forth and back and forth and… you get the idea.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18px;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So maybe one telltale mark of the South isn’t really the weather, after all.</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Maybe it’s the way we leave our flip-flops and sandals by the door, right beside our winter boots.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 18px;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Because hey, this here is the Deep South we’re talkin’ ‘bout. The cold ain’t gon’ last.</span></span><br />

And by<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> ‘parking’ I mean 'the complete lack of parking.’</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Let’s be real. Atlanta is great, but there’s barely enough space to drive down the road, let alone leave your car immobile anywhere.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Emory, however, does offer a few parking lots in the name of student convenience… for a price.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And that price is a decal worth more than the car I’d stick it on.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I don’t have a car.</span></span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I guess parking isn’t really a big problem, after all.</span></span><br />

</span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">One of the great things about being at a college downtown is the ease with which you can get places. I mean... once you get the hang of jaywalking, the sky's the limit.<br />

</span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Anyway. A friend and I headed to the </span><a href="http://www.atlantagreekfestival.org/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Atlanta Greek Festival</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> Saturday. Pretty awesome. Some dancers came out, from little kids to pro-level people, and did some of the traditional Greek dances from different regions of Greece. The pro-group even did a more modern Greek dance. And the music was great - the same sort of stuff as you still hear playing in cafés in Greece today.</span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So. My first little corner of the Internet was back on my <a href="http://www.hworth.net/thats-a-good-deal">fansite</a> for Alias Smith & Jones.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;">Which, actually, is still up and kickin’ out there in cybers<span style="font-size: medium;">pace.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> Whenever I happen by that ol’ familiar webpage these days, I’m always surprised to see how many hits the site still gets (unsophisticated graphics and all! ...but hey, I was 14 years old!). And as I’m cruisin’ through those wallpapers and music vids, it occurs to me that maybe some people, somewhere, are wondering: what on earth ever happened to that Kate girl?!</span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><br />
<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Did she lose interest?</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Did she move on?</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Did she fall off the face of the planet?</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Did she move herself right off the electric grid?</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And the answer is… actually, I dunno.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;">One day you’re spending your afternoons catchin’ up on </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Cannon for Cordoba</span></i><span style="font-size: medium;"> or practicing your best Briscoe beady-eyed look in the mirror – and the next? Well. Y’know how people are always saying how fast time flies by? Turns out, they’re right.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;">High school got pretty busy, and then co<span style="font-size: medium;">llege.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;">And yet.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;">I still love AS&J, still love Pete. (duh!) But times have changed a lot from back when I worked <span style="font-size: medium;">on my AS&J site.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;">Those days were before the advent of the trendy blog, the <a href="http://twitter.com/khollin">twitter</a>, and even the Facebook was still pretty new. And then I think, this is the way of technology today.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;">Easy come, easy go.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><br />
<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So, following this line of thought, I've decided to step back up to the computer, flip the power switch back on, and plug myself back into the grid.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><br />
<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In other words, Kate is back.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><br />
