is nearing its end.  Part of me has thoroughly enjoyed all of the socializing and partaking I've done this summer.  Then, at the same time, another part of me is disgusted with myself for having nothing to show for the past three months of my life.  No job, no money, no new rep, no classes...  I'm ready, now more than ever, to do something with ( Read more... )

I am the proud new owner of a little red civic.  My one responsibility for the summer has been taken care of.

Last night was pretty damn fun.  Enough said.  Bye bye.

I'm feeling pretty good about the second attempt at fishing.  Although, I can't complain about the first.

Right now I am pretty happy.  That may be a different story in a few days, but, for the time being, I am remarkably content.  I didn't sleep too well last night, though.  It might have had something to do with some legal obligations I had today.  It went smoother than I could have hoped for.  I was expecting to take the stand and have them point ( Read more... )

Life has been good since coming home.  I've been able to catch up with a few people; but, I still have others to get in touch with.

I picked up my horn this morning from the Horn Section and I played for the first time in almost 4 weeks...  Goddamnit.

I'm getting closer and closer to finding my "new" car.  Too bad other people find it before I

Another day of driving down.  I've starting reading The Swarm by the German author Frank Schätzing.  It's the most all-encompasing book I've ever read.  As a testament to its complex plot, I'm on page 420 (insert random pot joke) and I'm not even halfway through the book.

Two days of driving down; only two more to go.  Spending an entire day inside a vehicle can be maddening.  No amount of music or reading allows you to forgo that.  Fortunately a quick stop to get out and stretch is the cure for this madness ( Read more... )

    Up to this point I'd have to say that about 90% of our travel time has been spent on small, two-lane highways.  I was convinced that I had experienced the most remote highways of the U.S.  Boy, was I wrong!  Today, we drove almost fifty miles on a one-lane highway/road/path through the most disturbingly isolated land I've ever encountered.  The ( Read more... )

Today, for the first time in my life, I went white-water rafting.  It was completely exhilarating at points and quite relaxing at others.  Tyler and I were put in the front of the raft to be "primary paddlers" and to block the rest of the boat from the splashing white water!  At one point our guide let us jump ship; it seemed like a good idea until ( Read more... )
