The travel gods are conspiring to have me enjoy living in Indiana.

The trip up to, and in Wisconsin, were prefectly lovely. However, the trip back there was a gigantic accident on I-90, which caused them to shut both sides down for several hours. We ended up going two miles in a hour on the interstate, and when we got off the stipid thing it took three hours to go around Rockford and back on the highway.

In other words, a ten hour trip ended up being fifteen.

But being in Eau Clarie was cool. Nice seeing my friends in person, and eating food that's really hard to get here, like pocky and Culvers.

Word of the Day

There are some words that I think I should use more often. Words like eschew, ambivilent, and smite/smote. As I was reading a flik, I stumbled across a new word that I think everyone should use more often. The words is defenestrate, which means to throw out of a window.

Of course it would lead to situations like:

Extra #1: Oh my god! The main charecter has just been defenestrated by the villian!

Sidekick: The main charecter has just been whated?

Extra #1: The main charectered was just defenestrated!

Sidekick: What?

Extra #1: Defenestrated!

Sidekick: What is that?!

Extra #1: Oh, for Christs sake! He's been thrown out of the fucking window!

Sidekick: Now why didn't you say that before! *rushes to main charecters aid*

Extra #1: I can see why he's the sidekick now.
