So we went camping last week out by Seaside, OR, at Fort Stevens. This is where the Peter Iredale Shipwreck rests.
We had a great time, and I got to take my truck (with the new tires) out on the beach. That, however, was not as fun as I had hoped. It was just a beach, nothing else, so I fishtailed down the beach, turned around, and fishtailed all the way back. You can check out all the photos over here at my Picasa album.
I made a kickass pork roast in the dutch oven over the campfire, using a tripod this time. It came out unbelievably frieking awesome. You add in the giant pot of stewed veggies on the side, and it was heaven. Oh, and then later, I made Yucca. It was a concoction with limes, lemons, sugar, and lots of Tequila. Oh yeah, we got lit up. It was niiiice. The only bad part was the raccoons. Those fuckers were ballsy little bastards. They came right out and got into the food on the table while we were still there sitting around the campfire. They even managed to open one of the guys coolers and get into his kids lunchables.
After the trip was over, Jen and I went down to Seaside and tried to stop at Dairy Queen to get lunch. As soon as we walked in, some old woman was bitching up a storm about not getting what she ordered and just going off on the girl behind the counter. And that girl was firing right back at her. And then we realized that their till was all fucked up, and some homeless guy in a red sweatsuit kept trying to talk to us (he smelled really, really bad). So, we left and went to Quiznos.
Later that night, after we got back and all unpacked, we again decided to try for Dairy Queen (I had my heart set on their bacon cheesburger). We ordered our food, as well as a couple Blizzards. And of course, they made the wrong type of blizzard. Once we pointed out that it was wrong, they turned around, discussed it a bit amongst themselves, and then just stared at the incorrect blizzard for a while, as if trying to use the force to change it from Oreo to Cookie Dough. Once they realized that their midiclorean count was not high enough to pull off such a feat, they finally made the correct blizzard, and also gave us some coupons for free sundaes.
I get to go to day shift next week for two weeks. But not a normal day shift, no. I get to work Mon-Fri 12 hour days. Both weeks. Yes, 10 straight 12 hour days (plus weekends).
I bought Rock Band 2 and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. RB2 is nice. It’s mainly nice just ot have some new songs to play (Especially Come Out and Play by The Offsping!). The Force Unleashed is just plain fucking awesome. AWESOME! I would play it all day everyday if I didn’t have, you know, A LIFE. Every now and then I need to stop and do crap like shower, clean up, eat, go to work, walk the dog, spend time with Jen, etc, etc, etc……
PS: Stephen Colberts parody song is available on Rock Band 2 free for download!!!!!!!
