It's been two years?
Wow.
So in that time, I've gotten a job as an official graphic designer
and I got married to the greatest woman I've ever met.
Things are fantastic,
And with 32 hours without sleep on the fast approach, I don't know if I can be pithy or smarmy about something at the moment. Give me a couple days, and I'm sure I'll have something to share with you.
This weekend is "Hillside" in Guelph. For you who don't know (like I didn't up till this past year) The Hillside Festival is a big concert/campout akin woodstock. That's the closest representation I can find without doing any formal research. Last night we packed up the jalopy and set out to set up camp. After some quick shopping, we signed in at the gate, and promptly got lost in the Guelph Lake Conservation Area.
Much like every other conservation area in ontario that I've been to, nothing is clearly marked when a big event is on. Our campsite was #864, or something like that, it was very clear that the campsites weren't actually numbered when we pulled up to a mowed field and pitched our tent where our friends told us to. Each lot is carved out of waist-high grass. Basically a grassy booth of sorts. No numbers. No signs. Nothing. If it weren't for our friends, we would still be circling around the overgrown basketball court looking for the mystery site: 86whatever.
Got the tent set up, despite the rain that dampened my spirits.
(see what I did there)
Once that was up, we sat in the dining tent, had a social cocktail, then after a couple hours I kissed Gemma goodnight and drove home.
Sounds odd, but I had to work in the morning. And since Gemma took friday off, it only made sense that I would sleep in the comfy bed in the apartment where the shower lives.
Trouble is, I don't sleep too good when Gemma isn't around. And to compound my anxiety, the rains turned to big thunderstorms. I got real nervous and had to text Gemma throughout the night to make sure she was ok.
Around 3am, I got up to get my laptop. I downloaded a flash version of classic Zelda, plugged in my gamepad and tried to get that goddamn triforce once and for all.
I figured the electric flashing and 8-bit sound would make my senses tired, but fretting about Gemma kept me awake until 7:15.
The alarm went off at 8.
I was at my desk at 8:30.
and here we are.
Until next time, stay outta the rhubarb.
