Man, I’m having a lot of trouble sitting still right now. It’s almost time to be outside for the weekend.<\/p>\n

First: ALASKA PHOTOS<\/a>! That’s less than half the number I actually took! Travel journal is also forthcoming, but don’t expect it anytime soon.<\/p>\n

It took me four days to recover from the jet lag; it’s not so much even the time difference (it’s only three hours, after all), but the fact it’s light out 24 hours a day in Alaska, so you only sleep when you’re ready to die from exhaustion. I seem to have adjusted in time for the killer heat to set in. AWESOME.<\/p>\n

This week has really been ideal as far as returning-to-life-from-vacation without being totally overwhelmed. Tuesday I hung out with Cindi and Matt on the patio at Suzi’s, and Wednesday I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean<\/i> with Stephanie, then had a date with my Alaska-sized bag of laundry. Last night, we celebrated Bill’s birthday at Town Talk and then the Hexagon; Town Talk is destined to become one of my favorite places ever due to their vegefriendly menu (tempeh sammich, I love youuuuu!), their ridiculously creative drink menu (with much fondness for bourbon and brandy), their staff, and the amusing encounters with people outside.<\/p>\n

At the Hexagon, an old guy asked me for my number as<\/i> I was walking in the door, completely drenched and squishy from the rainstorm. Since we couldn’t avoid the downpour, I decided to celebrate it by stomping in puddles and wading in the flooding street. We played pulltabs and I beat Wendy soundly at pool, which is absolutely unheard-of and probably had something to do with whiskey. When we got home, the po-po were waiting for Cindi. Well, not really, but it sounds better that way.<\/p>\n

And now I’m rushing, because I’m leaving very soon to begin my weekend of Minneapolis and music and being-outside even though it’s supposed to be 102 on Sunday. DUDE.<\/p>\n

Y’all watch yourselves with the heat stroke, now. You can come over and use my robotic air conditioner if you want; I probably won’t be there, so maybe pet the cats some, too? Thanks!!<\/p>\n
