Thursday, July 17, 2008 Best Joke Ever Funniest thing I've heard in a while: Buttsex is like spinach; if you're forced to have it as a child you don't enjoy it as an adult. The debauchery of Rodeo Week is over. I desperately need the nap to end all naps. I've been incredibly busy at work, putting in many 10-12 hour days so that I can keep up with projects. I've been up early to water the hanging plants on Main Street. I also spent a long weekend in Deadwood/Devils Tower, a long weekend in Glacier National Park, and a long weekend in Rocky Mountain National Park prior to Rodeo Week. And we had the Rodeo party to end all Rodeo parties (at least until we top it next year). I should explain a few things here. I keep getting more involved in work projects, and more complicated work projects, most of which are confidential work projects. One of my two co-workers took a job at the local college, and we had to hire a new person. The newbie is cool, but not nearly ready for me to start passing along projects. It'll happen eventually, but until then, it's been busy. And with all of the overtime, I have quite the comp time build-up; hence the long weekends in National Parks (I also have a parks pass, which is why I've been spending so much time visiting the parks). And the parks are completely fabulous--I am very behind on sending crazy snail mail, but I'm working on it. And I have tons of pictures to post, but I'll get there eventually. As for Rodeo Week, Rodeo is to Sheridan what Mardi Gras is to New Orleans. It's a week full of craziness and debauchery. There are so many events during Rodeo week--boot kick-off, barbecue, concerts, a parade, pancake breakfast, duck races, bed races. Plus carnival and rodeo (although I got distracted by funnel cakes and beer at the carnival and didn't make it to the actual rodeo). All followed by street dance on Friday and Saturday nights. Our apartment is right off of Main Street, and it's along the street that gets blocked off for the street food vendors. Folks can come through the back of our apartment and then go out the front and be in street dance for free. So we stock the fridge, buy plastic cups, and folks come on in for the party (and leave alcohol in our fridge, and coolers in the back yard). And what a party it was this year! We went through 10 cases of beer, plus numerous bottles of assorted alcohol. Several folks ended up crashing here. And I got a hot naked guy in my bed (thank you Rodeo Fairy! and no, I didn't sleep with him because he was too drunk and I was not drunk enough to think that was a good idea). The cops showed up both nights to bitch about folks being on the roof. Friday night, the bike cop came by--he was riding through the alley and hit a patch of gravel on his way to the apartment. Totally went ass over handlebars, and a whole gaggle of folks watched him do it. That was hilarious. No one got arrested as no one was on the roof when the cops showed up, and no one was throwing things off the roof as the cops claim. We just think the cops targeted our apartment because we do have roof access. Anyway, it was an awesome weekend of partying--too much alcohol coupled with too little sleep. And followed up on Sunday with polo and a barbecue at our apartment. Followed by a busy week of work, plant watering, Leadership Sheridan class, and making plans for a concert and bartending gig this weekend--I'm exhausted. But in a good way--good times, good people, and so many awesome opportunities to be involved in things here. It's been a happy fun several weeks. posted by jaime | 9:41 PM 0 comments |
