life update
This weekend the grad students are going camping in Big Sur. Ryan's coming along; we just went to Target and bought two crappy oversized sleeping bags and a crappy teeny tent so we can have one all to ourselves. Also instead of spending $75 on a ground pad from REI (EMS-type store), we bought two twin-sized "memory foam" mattress toppers for 14 bucks each. I love Target.
Last weekend we drove like mad to Edwards Air Force Base and got to see THE SHUTTLE LAND! It was frickin awesome. Pictures later. BOOM-BOOM!
The weekend before that we went to the LA county fair. I rode the mechanical bull (hrhr) and the operator asked me if I'd done it before. I said no, but I rode horses (the trick is to hold on with your thighs). Then I did the Ejection Seat aka Reverse Bungee. Either they didn't crank me back far enough or that thing is overrated. Bill got a video of it so we're going to calculate my acceleration later. There was a petting zoo with a WALLABY and two llamas (or they may have been alpacas) and deer, along with the more traditional sheep and goats. This one deer kept trying to eat my shirt. There was chocolate-covered bacon, deep-fried oreos, churros, grilled corn on the cob (DELICIOUS), and all other sorts of artery-clogging shit.
Anyway, yesterday was Ryan and I's two year anniversary. Here's to another two years (and then some).
Finally, WHAT THE FUCK. We were going through the office (spare room in apartment) packing tonight and came across a first aid kid. Except it's empty inside except for a pack of condoms. It's not mine. It's not Ryan's. WHAT THE FUCK
