Saturday was extraordinary. Well, it started out when I got up at 7 all juiced to go to the waterpark. She didn't manage to roll out of bed until I half snuck in her room and woke her up. She didn't have a shirt on but I didn't really care. We left, got snacks, and then got to the waterpark. It was the same one I went to before, except now i was older and harrier. Danielle's friend met us there after we had to refill the storage containers with quarters cause she had to check her cell phone a few times to see if her friend called. We went on many a ride, including the Toilet Bowl, Space Bowls, Bermuda Triangle, and the Lazy River. It was 104 degrees outside so our feet melted to the concrete and had to be air rescued to the Denver Hospital where William Shatner did an exposé on us for a new Rescue 911. "Do you have an emergency?" Yeah, these chicken wings suck, I want a refund. Sorry, mam' we can't do that. F U!

We stayed there till it almost closed, then drove downtown to get burritos and then I surprised Danielle with tickets to the Drums Along the Rockies show (DCI). Santa Clara Vanguard was absolutely amazing and should have won. I bet the judges were deaf, dumb, and blind.

Sunday I got pissed cause my fing cabin wasn't ready cause the people moving out of it didn't have their new house ready. We drove around Nederland and found phone numbers. We would later see two places: 1: this crazy lady named Tatianna who was a playwright. She had an amazing house, an old Christmas tree still dying in her living room, and a car for sale in her driveway. Her other car had a rope door handle. She is charging 450 for a month, 10 for phone, 50 for utilities, and 150 for propane. When she dropped the 150 on propane bomb on me and Danielle, we started to wonder who she thought she could fool. B: the Other house was okay, except it smelled like big huge dog, the carpets were ruined, and the dishes in the sink look like a cave man put them there. He left the door open so people can just check it out. He had a hot tub in his bedroom. The two rooms he was offering for rent did not. He called a few times but I felt bad telling him that I was just going to wait out the cabin. Especially considering I left him a note next to his "to do list" that had had really dark scratch outs that said "I love the place, when can I move in." I rushed into that note, and I regret that.

Danielle had to work Sunday night and I decided to take myself up a hotel in Denver for 29 bucks a niter. It was nice and it turned out to be next to ANOTHER MARIPOSA (on Quebec st. as listed on the Lyons menu (photos to follow)). I got two burritos there that were good but not served with the same amount of kindness that was offered up at the Lyons franchise. Basically all I did Monday - Wednesday was bike ride, run, and swim. I actually had to remove the pool cover at the second hotel I stayed at. The lady at the desk said they were renovating and dint' want to get any dust in the pool. Good thinking on her part. But when the guy was leaning his metal ladder against my glass window that showcased a view of the greater Stapleton area, that wasn't out of line for a future 4 star hotel. It was one of those places where people stay for weeks, so i had the fortune of opening the door a few times for smokers and grocery shoppers who were just making it home (11:30pm) to their lovely 200 sq ft room with 99 channels (including ESPN and HBO) and a mini fridge. I SWEAR, NEXT MONTH I"M MOVING OUT OF HERE. I SWEAR. One lady's card didn’t work, so i let her in. She looked amazed. I said "i must have the magic touch." she looked over her glasses and said "UH-HUH".

I finished my visa, which required passport photos. I went to this UPS store on Colorado Street. It was the only one in the yellow pages that I recognized the street address to. I got photos taken, went to Boston Market, and then went to this HELL HOLE of a rip-off Kinkos. This horrible creation named Susan worked there. Hi, I'd like to send this letter off regular mail. I saw you did regular mail in the window. Do you do registered mail, because it is sort of important and I want to make sure it gets there?" "Sorry, we don’t have registered mail but we can do UPS.. " Me: never mind I'll just go to the post office, because I have to get a.. " HOLD ON, LET ME FINISH!!" She continued to explain to me how UPS would ship it for like 19.99 or some shit face amount that WOULD NEVER INTEREST me. When she fished her teacher rant, I was exhausted and wanted to shove her stupid art glasses right down her thick neck. I love it when 19 year olds act like middle school English teachers.

Joy got her plane ticket to Chicago for the 15th. I am glad. We are going to have a great time. If you live in Chicago and want to have a chili cook-off, write me and we can set that up. Me and Joy versus you.

Danielle and I are leaving for Glenwood springs for this huge hot springs pool thing. We're either going to camp or find a cheap hotel for tonight then marinate all tomorrow.
