I am in Arizona!

Actually, I’m writing this ahead of time so that, if I cannot get to the Internet today, you’ll still be able to read some yummy A Pixelated Mind thoughts.

So this is my new map. I’ve made four.  Get to know and love it.  But you guys don’t want to know where I am.  You want to learn what my trip has been like thus far. ¹

So now, in no particular order, here are the crazy things that (will) have happened to me thus far:

• Just as I’d gotten out of New Mexico, I realized I’d forgotten my cell phone, wallet, and most of my clothes.
• I drove back the four hours to my house, repacked, then headed out again…
• … only to realize I had forgotten to get dressed and was, sadly, naked.
• I stopped on the side of the road to get dressed when a police officer came up demanding oral sex or he’d send me to jail.
• I let him give me oral sex.
• Then I drove for a few hours until a deer jumped in front of me.
• I wish I’d had a video camera, because I didn’t know that deer played hopscotch.
• So, after a few hours of driving and exhausting my entire collection of podcasts, I broke down in Tucson.
• I fixed my car in two minutes, but the exposure to the Tucson sun gave me a blistering sunburn.
• Then, at about 9, I arrived on campus at ASU and sat in on my friend Moira’s Introduction to Philosophy class.
• I took notes, but I was completely unprepared for her pop quiz.  I’m going to stick around afterward to see if I can make it up.
• We went to eat pizza.
• Now I’m sitting at her computer writing out this post.
• … only I’m not, because I wrote this last week.

See you soon!
