Spring break: Went to the Rennaissance Festival, went to Santa Barbara for a wedding, went to a wedding, and came back to Tucson.
Rennfest was a blast. A few months ago, the terminte guy confided in Andrew and I that there was no more glorious display of tightly corsetted cleavage on this earth. What's more, it was considered costume, and thus they wanted you to look. Standing in line at the ATM, there was this one rather bountiful woman standing in front of me, looking rather pleased with her bosom. Which was impressive, and all. But then this other woman walked past, her costume so tight that the flesh directly above the cleavage line spilled over, or rather, shot forward a couple inches beyond the clothes. Being a fan of boobs myself, you'll all understand the degree of extremity when I say, this was not attractive in the least. It looked painful. And yet, the woman standing in line in front of me caught sight of this, and must have felt vulnurable or competitive or something, because she turned around, grabbed the strings on her chest, and pulled until she, too, was spilling over. I'd have mentioned that she really shouldn't do that, but then I'd be the guy who was passing time in line comparing boobs.
Oh yeah, and I got to eat turkey legs and drink mead and say "Huzzah!" a lot.
Santa Barbara... hung out with friends, hung out with parents. We ate freebirds on the beach. I ran into Julia, a girl I knew only very vaguely from high school. She's skilled at running into me in the most random possible places. Last time it was Carrows with Clara. This time, the beach with Heather.
I mean, random.
The wedding (Tonii and Rusty) was fun, but Flagstaff is cold as all fuck. First time I ever tried for 5 minutes to light a cigarette in the snow. They have these 4 dogs, in varying degrees of height. The smallest, reeses, is an attention whore who growls at you when you make sucking sounds with your lips. The largest, Sumo, is a great mastiffe that can disable you in the jewels simply by wagging his tail.
Back in Tucson... Got my laptop. It doesn't work, I'm on the wait on phone support with Dell right now. I spent a half hour trying to explain the first time through that the AC adapter might be busted, and the guy was very nice and said to leave it charging overnight, and if it still didn't work he'd send me a new battery.
I don't think he understood.
I just want my baby to work.
Is that so wrong?
IS IT?

PS- Also, it appears I'm a finalist in the diarist.net awards. Let it be known this is a landmark in my history as an attention whore. I don't care too much whether I win or not, making finalist is where all the hits are.
