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?

3. I shan't live in Texas either.

The Grand Canyon was AWESOME.
Love you too! Also, finished Princess Bride. Laughed SO HARD at his little notes and asides. Same guy who did Butch Cassidy- who knew? Anyway, thank you so much for that!
