still at mizzou-updating you bitches

well, after the wilco show, i drove out of town heading north towards iowa and minneapolis. i was exhausted, and wanted to be alone in the woods somewhere outside of people and cities for a while. but this feeling wouldn't leave me that i was leaving too soon-that i was running away from something. so, i drove back into town and slept in the parking lot of a sam's club. parked with the truckers. woke up and found another traveller in his pick-up truck right next to me. wasn't a bad nite's sleep. was warm but quiet. decided this morning i'd try to find this computer lab at the university that was recommended to me--the reflector of townsend hall at the university of missouri--which is where i'm at now. updated the blog thru today. thank fucking god. still more to do on layout shit and background info, and yes-getting pictures of my car posted. so, i'm spending tonite here again, possibly longer. i think i can find my way back to the sam's club. i haven't had a shower since kelly's in st. louis and i don't know how many days that's been. maybe 3, i think, but it feels like forever. been having to wash up in bathrooms at various locations. i did stop by the library earlier today to use the computers, but to be honest it was mainly to see if the 'hot, yet possibly a bitch' girl was working again. yup. got a coffee. no pleasant conversation. not even a "how you doin?" hmm....??? need my magic eight-ball to figure this one out. and oh, by the way, noticed today that the Deathcab's muffler is dangling about 2 inches off the ground now. it rusted apart from the underneath of the car, so i'm gonna see about pulling a macgyver on that bitch tomorrow, or sometime before i leave town. got a roll of duct tape and a lighter. just need some string and chewing gum. and lots and lots of luck. later hoes!
