So, the supposed bussiest shopping day of the year, as well as the following week, hasn't been much more than any other week at any given point in this year of the collapsing economy.

... I am soooooo full. I even tried to take smaller portions, but the food kept coming. My Aunt Susan made a delicious, huge meal. Starting with soup and salad, then mashed potatoes, two kinds of stuffing, sweet potato caserole, caulifower caserole, green been caserole, cranberry thing (not the canned/ jellied stuff), corn on the cobb, and two ( Read more... )

Damn it, I missed it! I was only in El Cerrito, not that far from it. The only reason I knew that there had been one was because someone sent a text to Mike... damn it damn it damn it, I always miss them!

Ok, so a big post about Burning Man may or may not be coming soon, but I am home now and I had an amazing time out on Playa. Lost of dust, a little drama, and then a couple nights of dru.... um, I wasn't sober ;) Beer, yes, beer, lots of beer, and rum - oh, rum and mango juice is *awesome*!!! So, umm, more on that later ( Read more... )

We are now into single digits until the day of the Burn. I am to wet myself with anticipation, so excited now!
