Wow its been a really long time since I posted a blog entry. I guess I havent have much to say lately. Still dont but I figured I should write something.
Just back from holiday. Spent 2 weeks doing the national parks along the Utah/Arizona border (Im doing geography and environmental science at uni so Im interested in erosion and rocks and rock formations....yes I know, Im a big geek) then a week in Las Vegas. It was great. Insanely hot though - over 100F every day and for someone from a country where 75F is a hot day, that hard to adjust to. Almost died twice. Ok thats maybe a bit of an exaggeration. We went for a walk the first day we were there, middle of the desert in over 100F and obviously not enough water. So by the time we wandered through the canyon and got back to the car I was close to passing out, my mum did pass out (that was fun, her lying in the sand with passers by giving her water and checking she was ok - talk about drawing attention), my brother was up chucking everywhere...*shakes head*.
We did learn our lesson after that. Mostly. Later on in the holiday we were in Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park and decided to go wander through the sand dunes. We did have loads of water this time but the dunes were further away than they looked. We were also out for longer than we expected/realised/meant to so walking back from the dunes to the car we ran out of water. Did get close to passing out but didnt. Felt really ill though.
Ok so it must have beenobvious we were tourists. We've been going to the states every summer for 12 years so its not like we dont know we need water and all the rest of it. Misjudgment on our part lol.We went on loads of walks in that two weeks so dehydrating twice probably isnt that bad...hmmm....
We also drove through the creepiest town. It was honestlystraight out of Supernatural! It was one of those really little towns whereeveryone knows everyone and they clearly dont like outsiders. We drove up to crossroads and there was a truck with one guy in it who watched us drive past. Then we turned around and drove back out via the same crossroads. Beside said crossroads was a little cafe with only two people in it! Both of whom watched us drive past. They were the only 3 people we saw in the whole town. It had a poulation of 450 so where was everyone else? Then justafter we left the town a battery powered thing we were using mysteriously up anddied. Im not kidding. It was quite a funny experience actually, being the Supernaturaladdict that I am.
Now that Im home Ive been re-watching Buffy and not getting a job like people keep trying to make me do. I love Buffy so much. Since it finished Ive only ever watched random episodes, never watched them in order. So Im rewatching them all from the start. I'd forgotten how awesome it is!!! Almost finished season 3.I love Xander. I never used to be all that bothered about him but hes just so funny and quick and sarcastic and snarky. Hes great.
Y'know considering I dont have much to say Ive managed to write alot. About nothing of interest either. Oops. If you managed tostick it out,well done.
Until my next rambling...
