So this weekend Poppy and I travelled back to Vermont France so she could visit friends, family, and co-workers. Here’s a really quick list of the highlights that she may/may not expound upon:
• I’m lazy and didn’t pack myself… so I ended up with only one sweatshirt. It was my Πmp sweatshirt from T-Shirt Hell… which also happens to be closing.
• When we got there it was around negative seventeen degrees (-17). That sweatshirt btw… not rated below freezing. I. Was. Fucking. Cold.
• Staying over at Poppy‘s friends house I got to eat awesomely fresh food, sit around in warmth, and I got to hear about things that I may not have ever found out about. Like there is drama in places other than in New York City. I was elated.
• Poppy‘s brother has excellent taste in both movies and Lego Sets. I’m pretty jealous of the Legos he has. One day when we move out of the one bedroom into a two or more bedroom… I’ll get me a Lego Set for old times sake. Then I’ll even invite my mom over and make her take her shoes off so she can step on them barefoot and howl at me with a right hook. Good times… good times.
• Poppy‘s brother also happens to live near one of the best pizza places I’ve eaten at outside of New York City. They’re called Hoagie‘s… but they serve awesome pizza. I assume they serve good hoagies too… but then again you know what happens when you assume.
• Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is pretty much the 5 minute back story from the second movie (or maybe it was the first) with 85 minutes of crap added to it. Trilogy fail.
• Poppy‘s dad is pretty straightforward shooter. He’s not shy to ask the tough questions… like whether or not I was still employed. I like that in a man.
• Poppy used to work in one of the coolest places I have ever seen. Granted her actual basement office reminds me of when I worked at the paper sucking up all those developing chemicals and really was more spooky than cool. The building where we took that picture above is really nice and modern… although I would fucking swear that those people in there were NOT college students. They looked like they belonged in high school. Seriously. It was pretty cool though… even with all the stairs.
• It was also pretty freaking weird. For whatever reason, along with the flag of the United States and the state flag they also fly the Flag of Planet Earth:
All this country, state, and planet patriotism (which I have to wonder if whether or not the flag order is correct… isn’t the planet bigger than just one little old country?) coming from the same city where I almost got sucked into the ”Fuck The Pig State” protest.
Weird… but a lot of fun.
