The Long and Winding Road

SO, I’m writing this on my way to this thing I have to do that required me to
a) wake up at 4:00 this morning and
b) ride in the car with my mother for twelve hours.

I am not a happy camper right now.

Also, Montgomery Alabama smells like feet . It is incredibly nauseating. We are currently stuck in traffic and listening to quite possibly the worst radio station in the history of the world. I know this because they have played a stream of music so offensive to the ears that even my mother commented “dear goodness where did these people acquire their taste” which is really saying something. My mothers music taste includes KAREN CARPENTER people. Echk.

Anyway, so yes with the traveling and the boredom and the traffic. Also, today is the first day it’s been sunny in like, a week. I really really wanted to get some sun but as I am trapped in this sardine tin on wheels, it looks like I’ll be purchasing my makeup in the shade “near death” for a while now.

In case you haven’t noticed, today it’s all about angst. Lots and lots of angst. Also: the smell of feet. Which, no lie, may make me retch. Other fun trinkets include, a trip to the IMAX to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix…..which in theory sounds marvelous but in actuality was a neck breaking, nausea inducing window into hell. I will explain this sentence more effectively in a list of greivances that start now.
1. The dome is way to close to your face. If you have ever been to an IMAX, you know what I’m talking about. It feels like you could be having a really great viewing experience if only you were twenty feet away from the screen, it’s the adult equivalent of sitting RIGHTINFRONT of the tv, the manner of an eight year old except this time you get a headache.
2.YOU MAY NOT LEAVE THE THEATRE FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER WE DO NOT CARE IF YOU ARE MID-ANEURYSM, WE ARE SORRY. This includes bathroom trips. This makes eighty ounces of diet coke and a freakin’ Harry Potter epic a BAD COMBINATION, PEOPLE.
3. One ticket is ten dollars. TEN DOLLARS.
4. Because of previously discussed proximity to the screen, your eyes can only focus on a tiny portion of it, preventing the ultimate movie viewing experience.
5. You’re eyes will bleed from being stretched so widely.
6. BLEED!
Oh well. So, the NEW book is coming out FRIDAY and I'm not going to lie, I am really excited. I would post all of my theories about the plot but I think that might be taking things a little too far. Right now I'm just refusing to expose myself to ANY news outlets that might think it was oh, I dunno, FUN to tell people spoilers that they have waited LIKE TEN YEARS to know.

Aside from loathing this car trip and being really inappropriately excited about a children’s book, not much is going on. I'm thinking a picture blog might be fun for a while....I'll take some shots today and we'll see what happens.
