The pictures I put up yesterday pretty much tell the story of the weekend. Total seclusion in this tiny log cabin with no telephone or television hook up (just a microwave, hotplate, TV and DVD player and my laptop) so we were really roughing it. The drive through Wyoming was nice and we made awesome time, coming back through Colorado was more scenic but took a lot longer. The dam in the picture is the Flaming Gorge dam in Utah. The mountain vista is also somewhere slightly north of Vernal, Utah. After rallying from a slow start, I was also crowned undisputed Scrabble champion for the weekend with a 9-3 record and the single word high score of 80. I think it was "Bluffing" which isn't great but i got the 7 letter bonus. I should say it was a 9 tile game so it wasn't all my letters. But that's not the point. The point is that you would expect a quote unquote writer to be good with words anyway wouldn't you? I would hope so.
Still no word from anybody who pays. I will be writing an 800 word rant to submit to a self-published newspaper in NYC tomorrow but that's for publicity and you can't buy food with publicity. But anyway we shall see. I need to get good and mad about something for the rant otherwise it will be forced and lame. I think I'll get drunk and watch network TV tonight I'm sure I'll find something that pisses me off.
Also, I have to admit that I caved today and got an iPod. I had a Philips mp3 player but it didn't work well and they didn't have one in the store when I went to exchange it so I said what the hell and got the nauseatingly trendy-yet-affordable mp3 player that is sweeping (or as Dane Cook would say, "Swiffering") the nation. Or maybe it has swept the nation already. I think I'm like 5 years late on this as usual. It's sitting in the broom closet. Regardless, I upgraded from 6 to 30 GB for like 20 bucks more and I must admit it is a far superior piece of machinery. I'm getting new headphones though, I'm not going to be their monkey and turn into a dancing silhouette with white earbuds.
