Pike’s Peak. 14100 feet high. Here’s what it looks like.
there are apparently bigfoots that you should be aware of on the way up there.
there are animals on the way to the top, usually marmots(which you can see sorta on top the rock here)
and sheep, one of which you can’t really see at all in these pictures, which is too bad. It’ll turn out better on the regular photos I think.
Here I am on top of Pike’s Peak
and here are some odd formations of tire-type growths…
here’s colorado springs:
and here’s the view from the top, the rest of these pics.
Some pictures of yesterday’s adventure at Pike’s Peak will be up sometime today.
Lucky you people!
I’m off to stand in line for my bus.
I’d just like to point out that Chicago is still the worst station I’ve stopped in, though Grand Junction in Colorado comes close. The thing that one has going for it though is the lighting. It is one of the brightest stations I’ve been in.
Froyd’s Filosofy:
The more you know, the less you have to make up.
Because basically nothing happened today, and I was bored with my camera phone.
Driving along in California.
This is my litte brother Erik.
Erik drives crazy sometimes.
I’m just happy I’m still alive!
And then on the bus today…
we stopped at Baker. I had the BEST STRAWBERRY SHAKES I’VE EVER HAD AT THIS PLACE CALLED THE MAD GREEKS!!!!! The temperature was 105. Farenheit. The temperature at which Sean Froyd burns!
Some clouds when leaving Las Vegas.
THis is what some of Nevada looks like on the bus.
THe following shots are some nice shots around Nevada, I was happy with how my camera turned out the pictures…this is the camera in my phone, mind you.
and finally…
Good night, mr. moon…
Yes…the interview…I kicked its ass from one end of the office to the next.
At the end the guy was asking ‘ok, that’s all I got…have any more questions?’
that’s when I said ‘Yeah…YOU WANT SOME MORE PUNK???’
nono, that’s not what happened. Of course, according to the guy I interviewed with, He said that I was for sure in the program. Official notices go out on Friday. That’s right. I’m fucking bad ass. And in 4 years, I’m going to have Ph.D. in Mythological Studies. And with it, I’m gonna kick some ass. Boo yah!
Anyways, on the morrow I’m heading out to Colorado Springs, to hold congress with my cousin there, and set forth the plans to RULE COLORADO. bwahahaha!
After that, over to Lexington, and then up to Washington for the wedding. Uff. lots of travel.
Anyway, back to sittin’ here ridin’ high. wheee!
well, I’m sitting here in LA after heading out here in a madcap rush to be in proximity to Pacifica for tomorrow’s sugical stri….I mean, Interview. “s gonna rule…if I’m awake and ready enough to deal with shit.
Goddamn. From 1:30CENTRAL on Friday, to 10:30CENTRAL on Sunday, I’ve been on the bus, and for those of you that aren’t too good at math, that’s a whole whoppin’ 57 hours sum total. My head hurts.
On the plus side, even with all the stops in Texas, and in Southern California, none were as bad as Chicago as far as filth and nastiness goes.
Saw a couple of guys get picked up off our bus by border patrol on the way up to LA today. Crazy.
Tired now. Waiting for brother to bring back food and beer. Mmmm….foood……mmmm….sleeeeeep.
So, I’m leaving Purdue today at 1:30PM, and spending quality time with some used books that I picked up yesterday, and perhaps the gameboy game that I got.
We saw Anchorman yesterday, and that was one damned funny movie. Steve Carrell was the best guy in that film. “MAKING LOUD ANGRY NOISES!!! I DON’T KNOW WHAT WE’RE SHOUTING ABOUT!”
hahaha. I recommend seeing that flick.
Anyway, we walked all over the campus yesterday, and I’ve got the blisters to prove it. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings for some wings and trivia(having gotten 6 wings free because of a movie ticket promo), and after that we went to chumleys for some nachos and a pitcher of amberbock. Good times.
Now we’re just killin’ time until the time of my departure comes.
Side Note: I wish Pacifica would get back to me, because if they can’t set up an independent interview session, I’ve got to hoof it out there over a two day journey to get there Monday morning at 9AM…this of course would be detrimental to the interview because I’d have spent all that time on a bus. Bleh. We’ll see.
