*blinks* whoa...
So it's been forever and a half (don't I start every post out with that?), once again. It's really because there isn't anything good to write about.
Let's see.
What could I write about?
I could write about formal (it was fun).
I could write about the importance of keeping your car insurance policies from lapsing (don't let that happen).
I could write about why semi-truck drivers are jackasses (this is old news!).
Or, I could write about how people are stupid (also old news).
And let's not forget that I think there's a new law out there about how turn signals are option (very infuriating).
I could write about how there's less than a month now until the Sigur Ros concert in Milwaukee (yay!), and hopefully an extended vacation at that point (wednesday, thursday, friday! and then the weekend! and the memorial day weekend soon afterwards).
I could write about a photo study I'd like to do someday about how culture in particular towns freezes (I'd like to take photos about culture in small towns, that would be cool).
Friday night yo! It was so awesome. We had quite the overload of culture in many different varieties. Starting at Nakashima's (Japanese restaurant in Appleton)...habashi, sushi, sake (sp?)...good times. From Nakashima's, the culture went up to Crooked Lake, where Andy, Joe & I went out into the middle of freaking nowhere to the house in Joe's family. From the exploration of the property at 10:30pm, with Joe reminiscing, trying to break into the house (with the old key -guess the locks were changed), and freezing...we then went to the local watering hole in Crooked Lake. Welcome to The Pines...local townie bar that blows any townie bar in Ripon out of the water. Whoa! Totally felt out of place. It was weird. We were the only non-truck in the parking lot (okay, minus two other cars). It was crazyness, but good times. After kicking back a few drinks, we hopped back into the van and headed back to Appleton, where the night was rounded out with the culture of Perkins at 1:30 in the morning. Was it really only in July/August where I thought 1:30 am wasn't late?? Rargh. I definitely didn't wake up until way past 11...but it was good time.
Northern Wisconsin is definitely a culture of it's own...like I said, I'd love to do some sort of anthropological/historical study on the lack of evolution for those towns. Anyway. Life has resumed back to normal.
Next stop - more northern Wisconsin culture....
I can finish off with the fact that my cat is super adorable. :) But you all knew that already.
