I'm hitting the road again tomorrow. In the past, I have always midjudged the distance to Oregon. I think my thoughts have been something like "8 hours?? Whatever. I just drove two days!! This will be a cake walk!" and then it takes forever and I get pissed. So this should only take like two days through California and I just had a week's rest ( Read more... )

Well, the good news is I still have a dad. The bad news is that the myth of there being hot nurses remains just that. Siiiigh.

I dislodged my car from the snowbank today. In order to do this, I had to further cover my sister's car next to it. She isn't here so I felt okay about it. That's a lie; I was ecstatic.

This is why I haven't been ( Read more... )

Pretty sure I have a post like this about once a year but holy balls why is there more snow in Arizona than there is in Minnesota?? A few days ago, I was complaining to Mark about how I was missing the Doomtree Blowout and he was like "well at least it isn't snowing where you are. Shitty compromise but it's something." NOW I HAVE NOTHING!!

Pretty sure I came to Flagstaff to escape waking up at 10am to 32 degrees. WTF? It's all clear and nice looking outside and then it's all "haha sucka!! it's actually freezing outside!!" Okay, I just checked the weather and apparently it's 24 degrees and snowing back in St. Paul so maybe I should quit complaining. Also, living in Minnesota has ( Read more... )

   As some of you might know, I recently transported a cat from Flagstaff to St. Paul for anonymisity. What follow are a few pictures of this... and one picture of our cat, Latte.

Stepmom: Are you going to watch Ted Kennedy's funeral?
Jon: Probably not. 
Stepmom: But it's history!
Jon: Yeah but it's history that isn't particularly relevant to me...
Stepmom: But he will be! He'll be relevant to your kids
Jon: I... really doubt my kids are going to know who Ted Kennedy was... didn't he kill a hooker? I heard he killed a hooker.

   Our kitty was sleeping on the pool table (which we can't use right now since the loom is next to it) so I decided to teach her a lesson. Jinn, this in no way reflects how I will treat Ping.

   I totally missed the fucking CD tower sitting next to the bed of my other sister's music (it's all decorative so it blends in to the room*). Inside, I found a bunch of Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, and The Beatles CDs (basically all the music Christine listened to growing up and has, since, lost interest in**). The really ( Read more... )

 
   I woke this morning with I Want It That Way stuck in my head so I started looking through my sister's closet to see if she had that CD. She didn't (or, if she does, she took it with her to PHX) but I did find Middle of Nowhere by Hanson, and The Spice Girls' Spice and Spice World CDs. I am currently listening to MMMBop and wondering how I wasn' ( Read more... )
