rainstorms, Bonanza, and bad burritos....

  • Mar. 2nd, 2006 at 9:36 AM

So.... we are still in Arizona. And it's been RAINING. And we have had motel issues (they overbooked, we had to change rooms)



Since we have not been out exploring yet (stupid rain and motel issues!), I will describe our fabulous hotel room to you guys. Since that is all we have really seen so far, dammit.

It's tiny. The tv reception sucks ass. And the only cable we have is HBO. So we actually watched an episode of BONANZA this morning. See what I mean?? We did crack up though, at this sign they had on the show... little wooden stick on a dirt road with a plank nailed to it that said 'San Francisco' (handwritten!) with an arrow. We were half expecting it to read 'San FranCiscky', gosh dangit...heh. And Hoss with his ridiculous hat is always amusing. I guess.

And a tv side note- WHYYY do they always set up hotel rooms so that the wall lamps reflect perfectly onto the tv screen, no matter what angle you try to see it from?? It's absolutely annoying. It almost seems they do it on purpose, the poopyheads!

Oh, Mothman is sharing the room with us. Or maybe one of his cousins. He's just been hanging out here & there on the ceiling ever since we got to this new room. Maybe he's just trying to escape the rain? It's all good. I happen to like moths, actually.

Lobo has been on a quest for a decent burrito since we left Texas. It is not going well. I think he's about to give up on the burrito-makers of AZ. Maybe he'll have better burrito-luck when we get to CA?

Also, I've been smoking cigarettes... yes, CIGARETTES!... since we've been here. Most of you guys know I don't smoke (cigarettes, heh) But there's just something about being on the road and hanging out listening to rain in a crazy little desert motel room in Tucson (with Mothman ) It brings out my inner smoker, or something, weirdly.

Since we have moved to the 2nd floor, we seem to be able to connect to the WiFi even easier (and with a better signal!) This wireless shit is just amazing to me. It's like Harry-Potter-level magic or something. Astounding.

It's after 9 am here now and it seems the rain has stopped for the time being. I hear birds singing outside! So I think we're gonna be able to actually get out there and get into some trouble today... *wink*

So I am off, time to take a shower (oh man let's hope the shower works better here than the one in the last room- ack) And as an added bonus- the bathroom door doesn't even fit in the frame, so it doesn't close! Oh, joy.

I will continue to keep you guys posted... (errr about the trip, not the shower ok perverts??? Ha ha)

(oh PS- we are going to attempt to go to the Lost Diner chat tonight- IF we can get online... so, hopefully we'll see some of you there... and you guys feel free to hang out and chat there tonight anyway, even if we can't get in for some reason ok?)

...and now, a totally random icon:

Ooh looky it's the totally random, ever-changing icon o' fun!!

I hope you got to explore today!

When you said Mothman, the first thing I thought was the Mothman Prophecies. I was like Oh noooo!

We did get to explore, but I wasn't able to post about it (til now) cause we ran into Middle-Of-Nowhere-No-Internet-Land! Blech.

But I am in California right now, and can finally post again. I just put up a page of AZ pics here (including one of 'Mothman II'...*wink*), if you'd like to see... :)

Enjoy!

That sucks that it's raining! And it sucks that you had to change rooms and that the tv/shower/burritos suck! lol

I'll be in the chat tonight helping out :D. I'm such a good little helper! lol

I posted a little topic in the forum too. I'm such a dork ;)

...a HOT little dork!!! :P

Thanks so so much for helping with the Diner, babes! You rock. I really appreciate it, and I love seeing you in the weekly chats again... *hugs*

Even though I haven't been able to do much Diner-posting (without Internet access, it's umm, difficult... DOH!! lol)... I encourage you to post as much as you like! You'd make a great Moderator, too... *grin* ...so let me know if that's something you'd ever be interested in...

Na-na-na-na-na ... MOTH-MAAAAAAAAAAN!

Some people will do almost anything to legitimise hanging out on the roof of your motel room, wearing only spandex underwear. LOL

And don't you know smoking cigarettes will stunt your growth, give you bad breath and send you insane? Not to mention spread disease in the Third World, cause tsunamis and floods in Florida and kill thousands of lawyers??? OK - we applaud the deaths of lawyers, but not the other stuff.

Duh-dada-dunnnnn... El Senor!!!! El YAY!!!!!

Sorry I've been out of touch. I was hijacked/probed/released by aliens in the Arizons desert, and they didn't give me internet access (or even buy me dinner). Bastardos.

Actually, 'Mothman' was just a regular ol' moth that came in from the rain & cold... though teeny moth-sized spandex underwear would have been pretty fucking entertaining! Damn.

And yeah, I never really smoke (except for certain, errm, photo shoots ahahahaa!) but I do enjoy smoking clove cigarettes (not the regular kind, ew yucky)... I dunno why, but it's just something I allow myself on road trips and other special occasions, heh. I can't smoke more than a couple a day though. They actually make me sick if I smoke too many :P

Hey D- check out my Arizona snapshots why don'tcha... I'd love to know what you think, you Master Photographer, you! (and you must see Mr. Bitey. Ha!)

*long-distance-hugs*
