Actually, it wasn't really that bad. Most of it was good. But I shall explain.
Still haven't practiced. Today was the day my dad went golfing, not yesterday. But I got up too late and he was already home by the time I was dressed and all. Then we went to Abiquiu and got back too late for me to practice. Well, not really. I could have had time, but no. My dad wanted me to help him figure out how to save e-mail messages to his hard drive. *sigh* It's really not that hard. He uses Lotus Notes, which I have never seen before, and yet I'm supposed to know what to do. Not that it's hard to figure out. Just poke around a bit, see what things do. I just love how he expects me to know everything he doesn't. Normally he thinks of everyone besides himself as stupid, as is so painfully clear while he's driving. But I suppose that being the offspring of one of the only intelligent people in the world, I must be smart, too. And not only that, but I must know exclusively what he doesn't. Ridiculous.
So yeah, we went to Abiquiu and El Rito today. It was pretty nice, except for the drive. There was a parade in Espanola, so we had to go on this big detour that was pretty backed up, which didn't make my dad happy at all. I wondered when we suddenly got to be in such a hurry; we weren't before we left the house. So driving was fun, what with dad yelling and flipping people off all over the place. The bastard needs to calm down. One of these days, I just might snap and yell at him in turn. Shut the fuck up! Did you ever stop to think that maybe your habit of yelling obscenities at other drivers has any effect on other people? No, you selfish bastard. If you had, it just might have occured to you that maybe it bothers mom and I. But obviously you haven't thought of this, even with the hints mom drops, because if you had, I would hope that you would make an effort to stop. But no, you just keep doing it. Well, I'm damn sick of it and don't ever want to drive in the same car with you again. And that's the chief reason why I don't want to drive back to Portland.
Yesterday was pretty nice. Alexis and I went to see the Shakespeare Cabaret. It was pretty good. The idea of the show was that the singers took songs from musicals and tied them in to Shakespeare's plays. Some of the songs were quite a stretch, but others fit pretty well. Afterwards we went to the Flying Star with Alanna and met Jora there. To me, that was the best part of the evening. Afterwards I gave people rides home and then came home myself at one in the morning. Ah, just like the old days. In high school, I didn't generally go out too often, but when I did, I stayed out late. Good thing they lifted the citywide curfew before I started going out with friends on weekends.
The drive today was nice aside from the yelling. When I looked out the window, at least. When I've moved out of Albuquerque for good, I will definitely have to come and visit, of course, and one more thing that I will have to do on these visits, other than seeing family/friends, eat green chile and look up at the deep blue sky, is drive through the state a bit. Today I thought about things while staring out the window, but that's another entry.
