tradition

it's odd how things change.

as much as i'm a fan of thanksgiving, i might've actually overdone it this year. i was full before we even started into the turkey on thursday. by the time family turkey came around sunday afternoon, i was almost immobile. of course i made a pumpkin cheesecake for each of the dinners, and of course everyone ate a piece, not because they needed one or because they were hungry but because it was there.

also part of the weekend was my old roommate jill's wedding, saturday afternoon in louisville (colorado, not kentucky). a really beautiful and well-planned event, of course: jill's good at this type of things. four attendants on each side. i didn't stay for the reception, since i hadn't brought a date, knew almost no one, and didn't figure i'd have much chance to talk to jill and ryan. and i felt out of my league, too; maybe i've lived in wyoming too long or maybe i'm just not classy. at least i didn't wear the carhartts, which i'd been considering right up until i jumped in the truck to drive down.

in mostly unrelated news, i envy decisive people.

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.

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
