Stuck by Cactuses
Sunday sucked so much ass.
Let me back up. So Joey’s movie premiered on Sunday in Modesto. Cactuses, which Joey did audio for (among many other things) and which me and Reed cameo’d in as musicians. 7pm on Sunday in Modesto. Modesto, a little 2 hour drive from Rohnert Park through the middle of nowhere on Highway 12, across a couple forks of the American River near Sacramento.
Except that the second drawbridge over the river, and hour and a half into the drive, less that half and hour from Modesto, was out. For hours. With no alternate route nearby. I drove for an hour and a half just to sit in completely stopped traffic in front of a malfunctioning drawbridge for another hour, at which point i decided to just give up and go home, since there was no sign of the bridge problem being fixed. At which point I hit rush hour traffic coming home on 80. So I ended up driving almost 200 miles, taking about 6 hours out of my day. For nothing. I missed the movie, missed seeing Joey, got absolutely nothing out of the trip except frustration and exhaustion.
Anyways…
I forgot to tell you guys about Jack Sparrow. No, not that Jack Sparrow. The sparrow that Emily’s roommates found, and which we have subsequently adopted and named Jack Sparrow. He’s a baby, and he is super-tame now. He eats formula from and eye-dropper, and isn’t the least bit timid about people. He landed on Tara’s lip the other day! He’s a cute little fucker, and he’s part of our household now. I’ll post pictures. He rocks.
More later…
