"Really big rocks, Officer! " - Wilson
Wilson and I just got back from seeing Jill in Ohio, which was the greatest road trip in recent history. I will summarize our trip in list form in rough chronological order:
1) the cigarette lighter, aka the "iPod liaison jack" in Olivia, Wilson's Lancer, proves to be defective, last minute decision to take the Laura-mobile is made
2) FUCK TOPS and its irrational store policies regarding tops cards and its rude, scathing, and incompetent store employees, in summary FUCK TOPS
3) I shake my fist and you school zone, at 20mph!
4) scenic back roads to the thruway scattered with rocks, removing said rocks from the road
Sheriff - "is there a problem ladies?"
Laura - "No officer, there were some rocks in the road"
Wilson - "REALLY BIG ROCKS"
Laura - "and we stopped to move them, there were some more down further that we didn't stop for"
Sherif - "I’m on it" *speeds away with determined look*
5) Angola rest stop, awesome youth soliciting a honk from a semi
6) "Rest party dance stop" blasting James brown and busting a move in the Angola parking lot
7) "thanks chief"
8) sing alongs to the point of being hoarse
9) drinking diet root beer out of a bottle that looked like beer while speeding down the thruway
10) making an illegal stop to take a picture of the Indian
11) gas stations with great bathrooms and crazy lug nut sales
12) crazy rush hour in Cleveland and a lack of left turn lanes
13) forgetting an 8 in Jill’s address
14) seeing Jill’s apartment building and apartment sans working passenger elevator
15) iPod difficulties
16) Dinner at Applebee’s with the worlds most patient waitress, I had a quesadilla burger, awesomeness, splitting a maple walnut brownie
17) parking garage antics
18) wondering if eating such a huge dinner on top of an afternoon of pop and junk food was a wise idea
19) Weakerthans show at the Grog Show, opened by Jim their guitarist as a solo act (good drinking alone music ) and the Last Town Chorus (I need to practice putting my hair up! (so I can snort coke off my bookmarks later))
20) the vagina/dog poo reeking uber-zelous fan
21) air mattress and jammies, and couches and street clothes
22) deflating said airmattress
23) breakfast at the classy diner Yours Truly
24) berry creeps and cappuccino muffins from the farmers market (yes I'd like an avalanche of powdered sugar)
25) photos/goodbyes
26) crazy pit stops
27) a determined but unsuccessful quest for Middlesworth potato chips in an obscure Erie suburb; WEGMANS; "I'm not from around here” style driving
28) Stun Guns and Jelly beans, the greatest store-duo ever, truffles and personal protection are purchased
29) spazzed out turn signals
30) seeing the silver minivan that passed us doing 90 pulled over on the side of road, justice served, sucka
31) more sing alongs
32) Arrival in Lima at 6:20, Wilson had to leave her house by 6:30 for work etc.
