Canada: Day One
Day One: Smooth sailing.
I’m posting this form Eugene Oregon, in my sister’s apartment (more like compartment, if you ask me…barely enough room for her and her hamster). Me and Emily made it here waaay sooner than I expected. We left and 9 and detoured through Sacramento, but we averaged about 80 MPH the whole way, and hit Eugene shortly after 6. It wasn’t that bad a drive at all. I did two shifts behind the wheel, and Emily took a few hours in the middle of the day, from Sacramento to Castella (AKA Castle Crags, in the mountains, where it was about 96 degrees out…hot enough to melt my fudgsicle all over my hand while I ate it).
Road trip soundtrack so far: for the First Stretch (Rohnert Park to Scaramento):
Blondie: Parallel Lines
Original Hamster: Notorious DSP (the only song I have of theirs)
Bjork: Post
The Smoking Popes: Destination Failure
Second Stretch: (Sacramento to Castella):
Nine Inch Nails: the Fragile (both discs)
Nine Inch Nails: some remix album…has a Telefon Tel Aviv remix (yay!!)
Nine Inch Nails: the Downward Spiral
Third Stretch: (Castella to Eugene):
Radiohead: Hail to the Thief (unmastered version)
Neu!: 2
the Promise Ring: Very Emergency
Dntel: Life is Full of Possibilities
Pavement: Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
We might stay in Eugene tomorrow, or we might hit the road again and go the final run, hitting Abbotsford by Thursday evening. That’s what I’m hoping for, but we’ll see how we feel in the morning. We’re going to watch Adult Swim with Lindsay and her friends later tonight.
Later on, kids….
