ALRIGHTYYYY!!!!

so tonite slim is comin here and conor, slim's frien from pomona who now lives here, and I are goin to get here from the airport at 10pm. however short 2 months here may seem, it'll still be really good "to pull on a familiar oair of jeans". i mean, nothin here is old and familiar and comfortable, even though i have well succeeded in creating a new life for myself, but jusst to have something from B.T (before Tuson) is goin to be mighty great i think.

and slim, you are far more precious than an old pair of jeans, even though anyone who truly knows me knows that i put a great deal of value into old pants.

so what've i been up to. climbing mountains, seeing friends, and working my ass off in school. i shit you not. my hand just started getting immensely better, got it out of the cast into a brace, and now i get to start working on all those ideas that've been building in my head and just couldn't come out. this week has been an explosion of inspiration and at times i feel like i can't contain myself. i have to force myself to go to sleep at night, so my other half doesn't start acting out.

so, last weekend we did mt. wrightson, camped out there from saturday to sunday and climbed the darned thing on sunday. fan-fuckin-tastic. it's the highest mountain in southern tucson (s. arizona too?) and the peak is the kinda pointy one you get a 360 view EVERYWHERE. you really feel like in the middle of a giant circle, and i tell you, it was a feeling hard to beat. however, when we came back down we had to face reality, conor's car had broken the night before, it was leaking transmission fluid and had to be towed. well, luckily we were up there with two cars and were able to get out fine, and one of us had 100mi of free towing from AAA so conor saved a lot of money there.

the car, now, is fixed and running again, and we are maybe going to explore the Chiricahuas this weekend with conor and slim. or corinna as she apparently goes by now!!!
