A somewhat eventful weekend...
I went out to the desert (Ocotillo) Friday night with my step-dad. We stopped at Fat Ivor's in Valley Center, a restaurant with the best ribs on the planet. They're also all-you-can-eat, which usually means you wake up with a meat hangover the next morning.
We have yet to find a place that does ribs better. We've looked.
ANYHOO, , leave it to me to get side-tracked by food...
On the way out to the desert we got stuck behind some cunt towing a horse trailer. Despite all the turn-outs that were available for her utilization, she refused to pull over. There were (at least) twenty cars behind her, including the two in front of us. When we got to a passing zone and the two passed her, my step-dad turned on his high beams and didn't lay off the horn. When we got to another passing zone, he started to go around her, and I turned on the cab light. I looked straight at the bitch as we passed and gave her the finger.
When we finally got there the weather was beautiful. It was dark out, and we went for a ride out to Shell Reef. Stopped at Devil's Slide. Made a trip to Blowsands. There was some asshole who decided it'd make him look cool if he parked his buggy right in the middle of the trail at the top of Blowsands. People had to go around him. His idiot tween sons just stared at me when I started up my quad. "Can you move?!" I bitched.
Got back to camp, slept, woke up, ate at the Blu-In. Rode out to Superstition. It was gorgeous. If Superstition were in the park, it'd be an absolute zoo. Thankfully, though, it's just far enough out of the way to keep the idiots from going.
Ocotillo is bumpy, a little rough, solid-packed with rocks and whatnot. Out at Superstition, it's as though someone took a chunk of Glamis (all dunes) and planted it right in the middle of Ocotillo.
Once we made it to Superstition, we rode around for a bit. We just replaced my back tires with 20s, so it made it slightly more difficult to get up this dune:
Me: Kicked your ass!
Dune: Busted.
Surprisingly there were still a handful people there. Awesome nonetheless.
Came back to camp, ate, napped...Packed up. Made one last trip to Shell Reef. It was a complete fucking mess. It was dusty as all hell; we couldn't see a damn thing. By the time we got back to camp to leave, the dust cloud was spread across the valley. If we hadn't already planned on leaving, we would've left anyway. Another night there wasn't worth the low-visibility or sneezing fits.
It was an all-around good trip, though.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I got into a raging debate with someone last night over the topic of abortion. He was frustrating the hell out of me, because he kept making these baseless claims and assumptions. I understand that everyone is most certainly entitled to their own opinions, but ignorance is something else altogether.
77% of Anti-Choicers are men.
90% of women who are at risk for unplanned pregnancies are using contraception.
"Today the White House released a 1985 application by Samuel Alito to become deputy assistant to U.S. Attorney General Edwin I. Meese III in which he says that he believes strongly that 'the Constitution does not protect the right to an abortion.'" -Planned Parenthood
Nice.
In somewhat related news, I read an article about a woman who was breast-feeding her baby, while inebriated, and fell asleep on top of it. An hour later, when she awoke, the 4 month-old was dead. She could face up to 29 years in prison. Good.

Rawr:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Mehhh...I just gave away one of the kittens. I manage to keep myself together while the people are here, but as soon as they're gone, I get all sad-faced.
Especially considering it was my favorite kitten...*sigh*
They other two kittens will be gone by the end of the night.
----------------------------------------------------------------
This is what happens when I get bored:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I ate at my favorite Chinese place today for lunch. They're your typical hole-in-the-wall buffet, but they've got the best lo mein ever, and they're egg-drop soup is to die for!
They're always playing Chinese music there, but today it was particularly awful. They played a Chinese rendition of "My Heart Will Go On," and, as if it couldn't get any worse, a cover of Lionel Richie's "Hello." Oy vey!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm watching "Moulin Rouge". And tomorrow, I swear to goddess, I'm going to the theater to see "Elizabethtown" all by my onesy. I'm allowed to be girly every once in a while, for fuck's sake.
When I'm feeling unloved, it's nice to watch a chick-flick.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
My buddy/ex-boyfriend told me he had a dream that I killed him. Apparently we were in Vegas, we got married, and retreated to our hotel. I was on top of him and whispered in his ear, "I'm sorry." That's when I slit his throat. Apparently, I put a gun in the gaping wound and fired.
What a dream, eh? I apologized for killing him.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm artsy:

You guys are my homies.

I finally tried some of that Vitamin Water you were talking about, the dragon fruit flavor.....it kinda tasted like butt. Maybe I will try another flavor. I was also fairly annoyed at the situation I was in at the time so that might have had something to do with it.
longtimecoming:
I want to go camping with you
