lonely friday

Hoo-wee! It's a windy one out there today. The plan for this evening was to get together with my friends Andy and Shanda from Rawlins, drive up to Cheyenne and meet my friend George from Sidney, eat some steak at the Outback, and then watch the UW club hockey team whup on Air Force at the Tace John's Center. Now it looks like we'll all just stay put: I-80's been closed from here to Cheyenne since this morning, and the wind's not much better between here and Rawlins. And Sidney got rain followed by snow, with lots of wind, which doesn't make for great travel weather. Also, I'm not sure Air Force will make the trip up; wind gusts up to 100 mph are expected along the Front Range.

I think they should shoot meat-and-potato burritos out of a canon at the Taco John's Center, where they play the hockey games. Ole! Ole, ole, ole. Ole! Ole!

Liz broke her nose after she passed out after getting sick from salmonella after eating the peanut butter from Walmart.

More snow! I love it. Even when it ruins my Friday plans! Now I'll probably just end up watching a movie and drinking hot cocoa. Maybe I'll order myself a pizza for dinner tonight, too. Either that or I'll take Liz some dinner and watch 'About a Boy' with her, my second time watching it this week. I watched it on Valentines, too, after Jeff and Nat went home. That show really cracks me up; I like its dark, dry humor. Like when Marcus throws the giant loaf of bread into the pond and kills the duck. Or when Will is taking calls for Amnesty International and asks the girl whether she's got a boyfriend. Or Will's reaction to Fiona's trip to the hospital after her suicide attempt: "It was terrible! Terrible! But driving really fast behind the ambulance was fantastic!"

It's sort of exciting (and relatively rare) for me to find three different frames that I like. Now the hard part is narrowing it down to one. After having asked a couple of the staff at the eye doctor's, my roommate, and Stephanie, an early leader is emerging. But I'm open to other feedback..... Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Comments?

citizens arrest

What are the rules for citizens arrest? Specifically, if there's a girl talking on her cell phone, with half her car windows frosted over, who doesn't wait her turn at the four-way, would I get in trouble if I pulled her out of her car and slapped her with her phone a couple of times? I suppose that doesn't quite count as citizens arrest. Vigilante justice, maybe. Whack, whack! In less aggravating news, tomorrow is the last day of classes for the semester. Finally. It's been a long time comin' this fall. I really should start thinking about the trip to WV and AZ and start planning some Christmas gifty-gifts.

out of order

So I'm now going to post a bit about the DEMOLITION DERBY, which actually happened the weekend before my trip out here to CA. Backing up even further: in the few days leading up to the DEMOLITION DERBY, it rained pretty heavily, even producing a bit of flooding. This was bad news for the derby: the cars had a tough, tough time getting much traction in 10 inches of mud. The result: a not very demolishing derby. Slo-mo derby. Cars that were disqualified not because they were intentionally trying to stay out of the action but because they were axle-deep in mud and couldn't make a hit. Lame-oh: nowhere near the fun of DEMOLITION DERBY 2005. I had promised several people that DERBY '07 would be barrels of fun. Instead, we left early. Here's a pic that Kaijsa took of the contestants, though: Annalee said she didn't make it to the derby because of the big rains in the days leading up to the derby. The current of run-off was strong enough, as she was driving home, to rip of
