i can’t even think of anything to write at the moment because i am sooooo pissed off at reliant energy.
i’ll explain later when i’m not so annoyed. but carter got here safely and right on time last night. 🙂 so did christina, although i won’t see her until tonight.
(1:03 p.m.)
hola. i’m back and ready to do battle with reliant. if i could get the stanford bursar’s office to bow to my demands, i can certainly tackle the energy company. hoo ha. i’m pumping myself up.
i have two goals for the afternoon–dealing with reliant, and getting stk to work. after leaving rich a note that said “rich!! i have questions!! -you know who” i have been put onto his busy schedule. 😉 i love harassing him about being so busy…it’s all in fun. i swear he has this sixth sense that tells him when i’m about to come looking for him, and that’s when he disappears into a meeting or something.
this morning i was sitting on the couch waiting for nick to come pick me up (i left my car at home in case carter wants to borrow it) and i kept hearing this rushing sound, like waves crashing on a beach. i couldn’t for the life of me figure out what it was until nick arrived and i walked out the front door and remembered…this is the weekend of the ballunar festival! dozens of hot air balloons were gliding through the air around my apartment complex and across the bayou. it was really beautiful! (the rushing sound i heard from my apartment was, of course, produced from the flame thingies they use to control altitude.) the top to nick’s car was down as we drove to work, and i could barely control myself as i wiggled around in the seat taking pictures as we drove to work. the festival is actually held on the grounds of the space center, so even once we got on site the fun continued. balloons were landing by the side of the road, and there was even on in the middle of the parking lot where we always park.
i’ll post the 40 or so pictures i hastily took this morning in the next day or so. 🙂
