Thursday, September 18, 2003 ( 1:12 AM ) Christina Wow, it's been a long time since we last updated this site. Shame on us. I guess we've both been too distracted by the myriad of other things going on in our lives. Plus, in this era not only of Blogs but of things like LiveJournal, I've come to realize that I am not one of those people who can post endlessly and blather on about the mindless minutae of my daily life. Not that I don't blather anyway, obviously, but I just don't have the desire to share that much of myself with the rest of the world. Plus, I doubt that any of you out there are too terribly interested. ;-) Okay, okay, vague minutae... just got back from camping this past weekend in Sequoia National Park. Had a great time, saw seven bears, countless deer, and even a mountain lion (and I don't mean that we saw them behind bars or in an exhibit, I mean that they walked past our campsite, car, and various hiking trails we were on). Which was pretty cool. Mountain lions are usually impossible to see, and this was the first time I've ever seen a bear (actually two, a mother and cub) in all the years I've been camping up there. And bears are a HUGE issue in that particular national park. You have to keep ALL of your food in a bear box, along with anything whatsoever that smells. Otherwise you might have a large furry visitor at 3am in your tent who is overly interested in that empty bubble gum wrapper you left in the pocket of your jeans buried at the bottom of your suitcase. So, yah. We had a veritable streak of animal-sighting-madness this year. What else...? Oh, how can I forget the recall debacle here in my dear home state? For god's sake, it's insane. Governor Doofus absolutely MUST be drop-kicked from office, there is no doubt in my mind, so this blatantly racist ACLU thing is driving me up the wall. Plus, we just got our sample ballots in the mail and were having loads of fun reading all of the various candidate's statements. Nothing from Arnold (oddly enough, unless I missed it), but I was seriously considering voting for the guy who was planning on "breaking the Seventh Seal and bringing about Armageddon" once he was elected. Or there's always the television comedy writer who promises to solve all of CA's problems within 24 minutes (including two commercial breaks and hugs all around at the end). I think I should save this ballot, it might be worth something someday... And now there's this weird cold/stomach flu bug going around in my family that I am trying my absolute damndest to avoid. I hate the stomach flu. My father and I are the only ones left who haven't gotten sick yet, and I'm starting to get a little nervous. And for this we can thank my brother-in-law, who just got a job teaching history at one of the local high schools up here and promptly brought home this year's first mutant flu bug. So please, for the love of god and my stomach, wish me luck!! So - there you go. Little update, little filler, now we can all be happy. ~Selynne >;-}~ # |
