Figured it had been a sufficient amount of time since my last FABTABULOUS DAY OF SUMMER post, so here goes Installment #2: Morgan visits BMS, and a car eating robot. -- When offered to go see a 40-ft tall car eating robot named "Robosaurus" for free- what better way to spend a Friday night! Who could turn that kinda offer down? And so I strapped the camera on and went for a ride. Firstly I wasn't sure if we were ever going to get to see anything- since it looked for a while as if the only show we were going to see would resemble more of a reinactment of Noah's Arc. But after a while the rain let up, and suddenly large "road drying" vehicles covered the dragway, followed by a clown they had hired to stall the crowd as BMS prepared for it's show. Due to my top secret connections to Bristol Motor Speedway (Lee), shortly after my arrival I was allowed to sign my life away in blood to promise to not sue the speedway in case of freak accident, thusly receiving the pink wristband that got me free reign over dragway. I was able to see the track from every angle. Press box, the suites, the stands, the roof, the ground right next to the speedway... fairly nice. .. Only twice did we get close enough to risk and appendages or our lives in general. Once during the jet racers (smoke from those buggers almost blew me away), and again during the monster truck demonstration. Ha. Also started looking for some ear plugs around this time. ;) Never got closer than any of the other media ppl, so I figured if I were to die at that moment, at least I would not die alone, and I would have been surrounded by cameras, so that I would imagine would be a nice way to go. A few drag races, monster truck demos, car explosions, and lame clown jokes later, came the grand finale... THE GIANT CAR EATING ROBOT. Why a giant car eating robot you ask? Because they could. And anything that is giant, and eats cars, is just cool. It was "Robosaurus", and well, frankly... ...it was giant and it ate cars. Not too many ways to really embellish upon this part of the story simply b/c I do not know how to make the magnitude of a 40-ft tall flame throwing car crushing robot anymore exciting than it already sounds so you are just going to have to look through the photos and see for yourself. Welp, I guess that is all for now. Tis 11:30, I have school tommorow, and someone else whom seems to have fallen asleep on my couch waiting for me to finish posting needs to get up and go home b/c it is past his curfew. Goodnight and good luck. PS: No spiders were harmed during the course of this post. For pics see my facebook album: Morgan Visits BMS... and a car eating robot. |

| I always like to hear about what ppl are doing over the summer. Summer time always holds so many possibilties. And I know that you are all so eager to know exactly what I am up to this summer, and so, comes the first installment of: MORGAN"S FANTABULOUS DAYS OF SUMMER!!! And so, sit back, enjoy, and prepare to contain the excitement. --- Dad came down to mow the lawn today and suggested that I trim the rose bush sometime. After finding the itty bitty prunners that I had stashed away in my condo in that large box labeled "tools" that I have touched all of 1.5 times since I have lived here, I happily began trimming the rose bush. For some reason, I really enjoyed trimming the bush. This is a stretch for me. I am not an outdoors person. But it was very nice to feel sorta productive, on such a nice sunny day... and so soon after the rose bush was all nice and trimmed down, I began to eagerly look for other things to trim. I trimmed and trimmed and trimmed some more and that is when I saw it. The giant fern/shrub/bush thing. Perfect! I realize that most ppl trim their fern/shrub/bush things with a large appliance of some sort, I am not really up on these things, but you probably know what I am talking about. But being the helpless poor college student that I am, I decided to use the prunners. Besides at this pt I was finding it to be very theraputic.... I have tried googling to find out what exactly you call this thing- b/c I am not really sure if it is a fern/shrub/bush thing or even if it is a hedge- I am not sure of the differences- and when I feel lucky on google all I get in return are political websites. George Bush - foiling my plans once again- can't even do shrubbery research without him messing me up. To make a long trimming story short- after about an hr I had this thing whipped. Gave it a nice new make-over. And for someone whom has never trimmed a bush before (yes I am helpless), I was pretty proud of myself. Ewwy I just saw a spider on my wall and had to squish it. Nasty. - See that could have been an entirely separate Morgan's Fantabulous Days of Summer entry right there- cept I would much rather repress that memory than document it.
