My Sewanee Weekend
I have had such a great weekend up here in Sewanee. I got here late Friday night (circa 11), and it took me almost an extra hour because the fog was incredibly thick. February is the worst month for fog, and the car in front of me was going 25 in a 55, which pissed me off 'cause I'm a daredevil and would probably be going 30, 35. Hanging out in a cloud is not as fun as it sounds. I bet Mt. Olympus sucks. Anyway when I got here, Charlie picked me up. We went to Shenanigan's for killer carrot cake, and The Lemon Fair to hang out with people. Yesterday we slept way in and watched Kingdom of Heaven, which wasn't a very good movie. For dinner, we went out with Allen, Mary, Mark, and Alex to Sernicola's, a local Italian place in Cowan. After a mediocre dinner and a delicious dessert of cannolis, we got drinks nextdoor at Sidetrax. The banter was fantastic and the atmosphere so comfortable. When we got home we played a game of Apples to Apples, with the addition of Christoph, his girlfriend Kendall, and Chloe. What a fun game; Kendall and I tied for winner. Part of the fun was listening to 90's music, and I had a couple ciders. Charlie and I watched some movie-- Eulogy-- til about 3 and then blissful sleep until 1:30 this afternoon... for me atleast, because I'm lazy. After a day of lounging around and a little school reading, Charlie and I jammed and then I got to play on the Wet Bandit's rendition of "Plane Crash", by moe. Great song, and I had tons of fun playing along with them! I've never had that much fun in my life! Okay, maybe I exaggerate a little...
So I was all packed up and ready to make the 2.5 hr drive back home but ... could not locate my keys. I'm such a fucking moron! What did I do with my keys?!? I guess I'll never know. We had to call a locksmith, and there are all these complications, but basically he won't be here til midnight and I'll have to pay 100-150 dollars anyhow. Damn that makes me sad. Sadder than pickles... and pickles make me pretty sad.
In other news, Haji is in heat and has been perioding everywhere. She was the butt of a lot of jokes last night. Poor baby, but everyone loves her up here so she has a lot of fun too!
This week I have some schoolwork to do--not much--and then Thursday I'll ride up here to Sewanee just after my American Dream class, just in time to see the Wet Bandits play! Whoo!! Then Friday morning I'll drive to the Nashville airport, fly into Chicago, and ride up to Minneapolis with the wonderful Jon and Gena duo. Charlie will meet us there and from there on out it's just pure fun in cold weather, and 3 nights of Umph. Yippee!!!
