Thoughts:

• Mexico has mastered the art of decentralized waste disposal
• EVERYTHING is cheaper in Mexico. Except taxis, depending on how good you are at negotiating.
• For fun, wander around Acapulco saying "Donde estan los pantalones? Necesito pantalones." (we actually did need some though)
• I really wanted to record the Many Smells of Mexico. I'd make a scratch-and-sniff book out of it.
• Next time I'm in Mexico City, I'm going to get two souvenirs, worthy of framing: a ticket for reckless driving and another ticket for littering.
• Carter is very lucky to have found a woman like Monica. Her wit and sense of humor are as rare as his.

• "Nothing says 'Chick Magnet' like standing on a balcony with a pair of binoculars."
• Sung to the tune of "Dark Center of the Universe" (the chorus part where he sings "Well, it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am"- listen to lo-fi bootleg):
  

  Well modest mouse is mah favorite band-uh-an' I
  Listen really loud so I can understand
  Everythang they ever sang it's so profound
  Don't know what it means, just like the sound
  [repeat until people in your vicinity start throwing things at you]

• "Why is my phone sitting in a puddle on the night stand?"
• "Jay, I feel your pain and I just want you to know that you should be directing your anger at Sean. He is the cause of all your problems."
