wow i realized i haven't posted in a while. the whole not having internet in the apartment is really cutting down on my time online. last weekend krista and i went down to corvallis to see her folks. i got to meet her grandparents and listen to her psychotic german shepherd bark at me the entire time. her parent's nickname for it is "last dog", as in the last dog they'd ever have. i thought that was pretty funny.
i spent a few hours trying to teach krista to drive a stick shift. she's getting pretty good at it. there was one memorable incident where she was trying to get it started going up a hill and it just kept stalling. she was asking me why it wasn't working and i kept saying "just give it more gas". well, low and behold, she got it going then asked me if she needed to shift into second. the rpms sounded low enough and then *click* it all made sense, she'd managed to get started in third gear.
now we're planning our next trip. it's looking like a epic sweep through california with a visit to disneyland and yosemite hitting burningman on the way back. more later
