Wilderness Training

Well, I'm back from California. Or, as I like to call it, Back to Civilization. See, as much as I would love to be able to say that I spent Thanksgiving weekend lying on the beach in San Diego or sightseeing in San Francisco (or doing other seemingly California-y things), I actually spent the last several days in a small town near Fresno, staying in a house with no heat, no insulation, no INTERNET (God forbid), and a shower that is about as effective as if someone were to stand over you and slowly drool water onto your head.

Naturally, the freezing temperatures and shitty shower didn't bother me nearly as much as the lack of Internet. Sometimes I would get out my laptop (which I stupidly took with me, thinking I might get a little work done) and play Solitaire or something, just so I could feel the touch pad under my finger. This is what we call an Addiction.

All joking aside, though, I had a great time on my trip. I plan on sharing some of the highlights (including the reason I was staying in a house right out of Little House on the Prairie) very soon, but for now I'm gonna have to call it a night. Unfortunately, I didn't get back to K-town until midnight tonight, and I have to be at work in the morning. Phooey.
