where exactly is atlantis?

This week has been pretty lazy, mostly because I know this weekend is going to be crazy.  So I’m trying to conserve energy so that I can be as fresh-faced and fun as possible this weekend.

Activities this week have included:
– eating salade nicoise made by Maddie
– getting interviewed for a “southern mysteries” web site that the Times-Dispatch is putting together
– Sixteen Candles
– Flight of the Navigator (a truly genious movie that is probably another reason I grew up obsessed with sci-fi)
– Jacques Cousteau DVDs with Bruce
– troubleshooting and fixing the internet troubles with the Wii
– turning into a wolf in Twilight Princess
– a lot of lounging around

Let’s cut to the chase, because I have a ton of links for you.
