I've only seen 12 of the World's Top 100 Wonders (which I think is pretty good for someone who is terrified of flying). My favorite was the Chambord Chateau, which was just fabulous. I want to see the Neuschwanstein Castle so bad, it hurts. I was going to make a trip out there by myself towards the end of my summer in France, but I chickened out. I have to get back over there to see that castle, as well as Pompeii, Venice, Scotland, and Mont St Michel... I just need a little more money and a lot more Xanax.

If you love weird, efficient housing, this Meta-filter post will interest you. They had a link for these tiny apartments, which started a flood of links to other housing not suitable for claustrophics. Fab Pre-Fab is a site dedicated to such housing... including the LoftCube, which I know we all saw on lotsofco a few months back.

I would love to live in one of these abodes, minus the white pressboard, but only if I continued to live alone, and someone sent the Clean Sweep crew out here to help me embrace minimalism more fully.
