I'm back from the road trip to & from Minnesota for Chad & Esther's wedding. Bryce, Ben & I left Denver at about 6:45 Friday morning and got into Annandale at 10:45. We hung around for an hour before going to bed in one of Chad's family's trailers. They're really nice, hospitable folks.
I actually slept really well in MN, as in one continuous "block" of sleep without waking up a few times during the night. It was probably a combination of travel tiredness and the elevation; Annandale's at about 1,000 feet above sea level. I thought I'd sleep really well once I came back home, but I slept as badly as I usually do. =\
You can view all my pics from the trip here.
I did a little bit of driving myself, from North Platte to Ogallala, Nebraska on the way back. We had to take a detour through North Platte cuz of construction, so there was a bunch of stop-and-go driving for a while. I would have continued to Julesburg on this side of the border but I was tired & I didn't want to spend a couple more bucks on an energy drink.
My friend Alec is in town this week. Some of you may remember us "breaking up" our friendship about a year and a half ago. Well, I first started getting in contact with him again sometime last year after the flooding in Iowa. We gradually started talking more & more on Facebook, and I invited him here after he said he wanted to take a trip somewhere. Planning the thing was awkward: not reminding my mom, oversleeping for meeting Alec at Union Station...but we'll find stuff to do. I'll take him to Brandon's anime/boba tea shop sometime this week, as well as the furmeet. We've moved on from the drama; I guess it's easier when you're online friends, but it's still good.
Alec brought his Weighted Companion Cube plushie and his Sega Dreamcast; he introduced me to a synaesthetic game called Rez. The best way I can explain it is a cross between the movie TRON and the game Audiosurf.
I got hired as a temp at King Soopers in case of a labor dispute. A couple of my friends hate me for being a scab, and others don't care either way. A job's a job; even if it is for a couple weeks that's still my share of a month's rent and some con money.
I think that's all I have to say for now.
