Okay, they were only bug corpses. No ax murderers met with a happy ending, nor did any killer zombies get hacked to bits. I did, however, have one of the most restless nights ever, as the wind kept shaking the whole house, and making it sound like something was waking down below me. I stayed till past noon to take advantage of the house, while I was not too piss-scared to do anything.
And now I'm in Minnesota! Real pretty so far. I made it to Wilmar, and decided to stop for the night. At the helpful local Chamber of Commerce (a real handy tool for the map-less traveler; there are always signs pointing you to them, and they usually have free maps, restrooms, helpful folks, and handouts on anything that could possibly be labeled an attraction) I found that the local community theater was showing The Hobbit that night, and lo and behold, they had exactly 1 ticket left. That was fun. And that's all I'll say about it. Community theaters are great and enriching things; I've just been spoiled by San Francisco little theaters. There was some fabulous acting, and fun costuming, and great lighting with the space they had.
I slept in today, waking up slowly and reading, something I haven't been allowing myself. Usually it's up at dawn and on the road. So now it's 10, I've had my run, and now I am at the library, about to go tweak my resume to get me a job as an usher at the Timberwolves stadium. Or maybe as a skit actor at the amusement park inside the Mall of America. Either way, it's about time to get a job, for a couple weeks at least. But I still have the weekend ahead of me. Which means excursions to the largest ball of twine, in
Darwin, and the Runestone museum in Alexandria. Rock on.
catching up, hadn't been in a while. i'm joelious, always wanted to see the largest ball of twine...that and the world's largest rubberband ball.
yes, i know, it's sad. but we all gotta have goals don't we?
