I hung up the wishes over my bed. This morning I woke up agitated with thoughts about my future and put a posting on craigslist for a roommate. There are always stages in moving apart from a previous relationship, trying to describe yourself and your living situation when you've only been in it for a month or two is a bit of a challenge. I think this ad looks appealing though. I doubt anyone's looking in my area, but feel free to pass the ad around.

Last night Rick and Sarah and I went to the Randall Drive-in. It was Sarah's first drive-in experience. It had been pouring rain up until about six pm so there was a really low turn-out for Nacho Libre (silly, pretty good) and Click (the same). We brought chairs and citronella candles and warm clothes. It's hard to believe that there is any time in July in Vermont that you'd be wearing a wool hat but sitting outside getting covered in dew as the temps drop into the mid-sixties is one of those times. In fact it was so foggy in the field we were parked in that the last part of the movie seemed to be in soft focus. I'm sorry I didn't bring my camera, but that just gives me a good reason to go back.

A few more interesting links from my week

• My friend Lauren wrote a letter to the editor about voting: Rewarding votes with cash bankrupts democracy. Isn't she smart?
• My Mom, who also stopped by for lunch yesterday, put up a photo essay about the Rural Renaisance in New England. Hey look, there is a picture of Bethel!
• My sister continues to crack me up.
• Stupid internet tricks.

I'm off to Barre today to check out Homecoming Days which means a day full of parades and duck races and all you can eat spaghetti with my friends Meredith and Adam. It's really fun to have friends who are so enthusiastic about small town goings-on. If I get back in time, maybe I can hit the Penny Sale.
