I don't know why today was so depressing. I went to the Renaissance Festival thinking I'd have a fun time wandering around by myself, but everyone was with someone else and I was alone and it seemed smaller and greener than it had three years ago the last time I was there. I got somewhat lost driving back, turned the wrong way on Highway 41 but I found my way eventually ... after an hour of driving. And several SuperAmerica gas stations. Which just reminds me of it all. All of it. Is it just my earnest nature?

So, to lighten the mood, I came home, slept for two hours, and then sat in the basement watching a copy of Fargo on video, with such warped tape that the sound kept taking dives every few seconds.

College can't come soon enough.

But excuse me for now, I've got the social obligation to hang out with my dog.
