replaced rear-view mirrors...
i had a great weekend.

friday i skipped school as all my classes were cancelled. ash & i went to a junkyard, ash's first, and then we went to lexington to visit mami. saw dan vantreese, jade, and eli, too. jade's pregnant. like, what the fuck. i've known her since i was fifteen. seems to be doing well, i guess. she's living on a farm in berea with her super-hippy baby's daddy. i hear josie lamb's back in town, too...i need to get in touch with her.

the next morning we went to shakertown, a nice drive with lots of garage sale pitstops along the way (we came back with so much stuff: a couple of sweet jackets, a pair of jeans, two (!) rubiks' cubes, a Dr. frank-n-furter rubber ducky, a couple of military-issue web belts, a copy of hello nasty, and several books - i'm forgetting things, and that's just my stuff). the sun was shining and we listened to the beatles as we drove along the winding kentucky backwoods roads. we took photos at shakertown, and on the way back had cheese-and-tomato-on-french sandwiches under a bridge and watched crawdads and tadpoles. more garage sales, and back to lexington for sqecial (one of my favorite bookstores ever). got some coffee at common grounds and then blew back up the seventy-five going about 90 (i drove). blew off band practice to see my folks and hang out with my sister. watched the fireworks from the front porch, ash in her new coat.

sunday i spent walking with olivia and heather (her best friend), slightly drunk and not writing the papers i had due today. got an e-mail from john beard who is in japan. i built ash a bookshelf and did a little cooking. talked to dad. basically spent quality time with some people i really love, the perfect way to wind down an eventful weekend.
