Reeeelly good vacation, no arrests

(pictures to come, soonish)
Yeah, I started off over the river, through the woods and across the mountains with some trepidation. The road between here and Rapid City is long, winding, and has lots of upsy-downsie spots, most of which can be covered with transparent slick stuff this time of year, and while snow doesn’t bother […]

Movie and pho

Went to see “Eragon” last night. It was exactly what I expected: Standard fantasy adventure tale with pretty boys and emaciated girls.

For your viewing pleasure…

Really cool dreams this week; I think I’ve correlated the terrific ones to days I accidentally skip brain pills. The dreams are so entertaining it’s almost worth it. These are just the high points. They were a lot longer and more complicated than this.
