Confession: I am obsessed with Deadliest Catch.
I have NO idea why.
The show and I have exactly nothing in common. I'm a vegetarian and I
abhor the continued pillaging of our seas. They're crab fisherman.
They're all blue collar roughneck dudes. And clearly that is about as
far from my life as you can get. The show reinforces a ton of gender
stereotypes that I generally (fiercely) resist. I can't even fathom
worse working conditions. All of the guys on the show are hardcore
thrill seekers/risk takers. I've been terrified of a dead bat for two
days. I really have no idea what the hook is for me. But the heart wants
what the heart wants.
'm ahead of schedule in my M/W Human Sexuality
class so we got out of class earlier than usual. I had time to kill and
it was a beautiful day so as I strolled along towards Stonewall to see
my babe I saw the bus stop and thought "Hmm...I haven't rode the bus
since I moved to Chico maybe I should do that?" and as if by magic a bus
pulled up and I decided to hop on! All I knew is that it was headed in
the direction I was going and that with a Chico State ID I could ride
for free! According to Ange this made me a "weirdo" but whatevs! It was a
random and fun adventure. I only rode about 5 stops before I bailed. I
didn't want to ride all the way to Costco or wherever and be stuck
there. More adventures to come once we move down here!
We've skipped over spring and headed full on
into summer! It hit almost 90 degrees today and while we were bopping
around town I decided we needed to throwback to the olden days and buy a
sprinkler to play in! We looked several places and couldn't find one
exactly like I was picturing from my youth but we found a pretty good
substitute at Big Lots. We came home, hooked it up to the hose on the
deck and ran through it for about half an hour. So. Much. Fun. And also
like our youth it was nuddie pants only so we had to be crafty with the
pictures we took! Definitely the best $3 we've spent in ages.
The
fundraiser carwash raised over $700 to fund HIV test kits for
Stonewall! Wahoo! Of course we did what we do best and partied it up to
celebrate our hardwork and sunburns! Love my peeps!
While
bringing Carmie to the vet this morning I spied a garage sale sign. So
of course I made a mental note to stop on my way back up. I found this
little baby laying on the lawn and the lady sold it to me for $0.50! It
will make a perfect suitcase for hauling donated supplies to The Gambia
next month and someone there will be a proud owner of a vintage suitcase
when we're done with it! Love me some garage sales!
I don't think I've ever seen more desk doodles
than I do at Chico State. Almost every single classroom I've been in on
campus has more than one desk with varying levels of doodles on them.
Here was an interesting one I saw today. Alien invasion? Weird.
The poison oak case I have is one of the worst
I've ever had. I think I got it from giving the little girl dogs a bath
this weekend. The most interesting part is checking out where I must
have touched myself after giving them a bath and before I showered
myself. This picture is of three fingerprint-shaped rashes I have on my
upper stomach. So weird.
