And now for my fun, yet short, update:
I went to Iowa City this weekend to visit Jonny, Jon, JL... or whatever you know him as.
Well the drive over there is actually very nice. Once I hit I680, it was pretty the entire way. It may have helped that I was listening to Billy Joel and oldies and was very very hyper. The people on I80 drive like me. So I found it very easy to drive at least 80 for most of the trip.
I got to Iowa City before Jon was out of class so I looked around Mayflower. Friday night consisted of dropping off car on church street, walking downtown, eating jimmy johns, playing with ducks, walking back to mayflower, some meeting of carl, walking back downtown for ice cream, then walking around downtown with Squiggly (sp?) and Jared Hansen (otherwise known as launch pad, or so I've heard), and meeting some dorm kids.
Saturday we laid around and did a whole lot of nothing until 1:00? I think that's when we got up and headed downtown to eat. Good pasta. Thennnnn.... I forget... I think we went back to the dorm until we went rock climbing. Watched a bit of Kung Fu Hustle with no subtitles cuz I know Japanese. We waited for the bus for a long long long time and decided to walk instead. I wore my climbing shoes and got blisters. My feet are healing fine, they just need lots of rest and barefootedness. That's a word, I swear. Then on the way home we had pancheros (again, sp?)
Sunday we again got up late and went to breakfast at maybe 11:00. I ordered two muffins - ate the tops - saved the rest for the ducks. Went to an outdoor store. Prices weren't competitive enough for me to stop shopping at moosejaw. Then to the pet store. Cute cats. Cute dogs. Clean place. I was impressed. Off to feed the ducks. They eat out of your hand. I'm sure they'll remember me next time and call me their god. Bus to my car. Car to walmart, cub foods, getting lost, walmart again. No Blue Bunny milk. I have an idea. Back to the dorm. Libby left for home. Went 75 the whole way because I was a good girl. Met Pretty Pants for PF Changs. Stayed at pretty pant's apartment until this morning. Now I'm home and should leave for work.
So it wasn't all that short, I don't care. Good day.
