work on the big-ass road-trip post continues (translation: haven’t started it yet.) but i composed it in my head on my way across kansas, using the voice recorder on my cheapo mp3 player to take notes. as soon as i find my mp3 player, i’m set!
so in the meantime, here’s a picture of me and nodamnsense at about 6 AM on the day i left, both of us looking rode hard and put away wet after 4 or 5 days of acting like assholes:
i should be embarrassed by how retarded we look. okay, actually, i’m just slightly embarrassed by how retarded *i* look, since i don’t really give a damn about embarrassing my friends. they generally deserve it. anyway, *you* try taking a picture of yourself and someone a foot taller than you with a camera held at arm’s length while sitting on a very deep futon. i gave up after 3 shots of this nonsense. it’s the camera angle! i swear! i’m actually totally hot in person! and dammit, we’re hardly 30, and don’t look that old in person. it’s just the sleep deprivation. (YOUR sleep deprivation, that is, causing the optical illusion.)
so today, evilgremlin awakened me with “mom? you should just stay away from robots, because you never know when they’ll turn evil.” he went on to explain that it was probably okay if you made the robot from things in your house, but even at that you just couldn’t be too careful. yep. the boy is working on all kinds of high-quality ideas, just in time for first grade.
damn my black heart, i’m actually starting to like walmart. while trolling the clearance toys aisle the other day, i found an accordian just like the one nodamnedsense’s boy wampus has, marked down to $7.50. dramaqueen spent a full half hour squeezing the shit out of it and laughing his butt off.
and i don’t know what spazmonkey was planning here, but it was obviously evil. so i stopped him.
