Bah... Being this far removed from civilization is really getting to me :/ 25km from the nearest town of 400 people, an hour beyond that is the nearest town with a train station and Sydney is a two hour ride from that :( Very beautiful out here, but with all the power comming from wind and solar it must be conserved, so when it gets dark... it really gets dark. Lights taking a lot of power and all. You quickly get used to going to bed shortly after dark and getting up with the sun. Not really as hard as I thought it would be to get up that early everyday.
Hey kidz :) I have am now in the wonderful land of Oz. It's very interesting here. Sydney is beautiful. The people are nice. In the two nights I was in Sydney I found two DnB parties to go to and met some kewl people :) I'm at my uncle's right now. He lives in a middle of a national park in the mountains south of Sydney. We are 25km from the nearest town (which has a population of 400) and another hour drive from the next closest town that is kind of a vacationing spot on the ocean (good surfing) and from there a 2 hour train ride to Sydney.

The Minnesota Renaissance Festival is quite the affair. Tradition demands we; Holly, Jerrod, Bret, Cory, Melanie and I; attended the event in costume- as pirates- Arrrr! I find that going in full regalia definitely adds to the experience; I mean, how can one truly appreciate the fun of a ren-fest without a bit of immersion.
While chatting with a friend today, said friend sent me a link to this computer case.
That is totally awesome! If legos were human, they'd be the man.
The flexibility of legos is incredible. With a little help from a lego catalogue, a stylin' themed lego case would be very, very feasable. Plus, think of all the cool little legos they have nowadays. Neon orange or green windows! Woo!
Yes indeed, Mel and I went back for another round of fair action Sunday evening. We had to retrieve my contest entries anyway, so we arrived early to take in more of the insanity that is the Iowa State Fair. More jam was purchased, as it is extremely delicious, pork burgers consumed and, to our hearts' dismay, so was a batter-dipped deep-fried Snickers Candy Bar.
