dragojustineArrived safe and, you know, no less sound than before. Very little in the way of internet- Mariott with no wireless (huh?) and I can't make the actual physical jack work *headdesk* Feeling generally unconnected and deprived. Deprived of fic, deprived of tv, deprived of flist. Due to logistical barriers, will be a solid week before I have actually MOVED IN anywhere (which I thought I was doing, you know, today) so that makes it worse.
Note: In the three days I was gone, not one person emailed me. Or commented. Or called. Not one.
Going to go be sad now.
*You know those hard/soft water experiments from elementary school science class, where you test how much soap foam different sources of water will make? New Mexico is those experiments on a grand scale.
*So. Many. Pickup trucks!
*Running out of ways to phrase "really big." (grand canyon, southern desert, this country, Texas. Big, large, sizable, huge, startlingly vast, etc)
*Texas so far looks like a caricature of Texas- too much space, too many cowboy hats, too many pickup trucks and rusted-out tractors, too many "support our troops" bumper stickers, too many restaurants with the word "steak" in the name.
*The Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex is, on first inspection, entirely without redeeming qualities save for the fact that we can sell a six-bedroom house for $150k and make money. Other than that? Pretty much the ass-end of the earth, or at least of urban America. I'm sure there are nicer bits, but I shan't be living there.
*Oh dear. I'm really doing this, aren't I?
