ickaimpWell, today has certainly had it's up and downs.
It was warm enough last night that I slept in a sports tank and pj pants without the usual night shirt. Woke up this morning to hear knocking. Stumbled to the door, open it and lean forward. "What?!"
Guy in hotel uniform pauses in knocking on the door next to us. He looks down, looks up, goes a little cross-eyed trying not to look down again. "Sa-Sorry."
There's a 'whoa' from down the hall.
I shut the door, lock it, stumble off back to sleep. The guy resumes knocking next door, adding 'housekeeping' to the sound. Eh. Gave him a cheap thrill at least. ^^;;
When we woke up for real, went to the The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, which was a nice museum. Good Japanese and Chinese section. Think I'm starting to get casual about the Rennisance art and armour, this is the second museum we've been to that I just wander around going 'seen it, seen it, seen it'. The giant shuttlecocks were kind of amusing too.
Two of the exibits had those fuzzy felt stickers that you put on the bottom of tables or chairs glued to the inside of the glass. Evidently people had kept walking into the glass, so they'd stuck them there to prevent it. *chuckles*
Unfortunately this was the day my period decided to start up. Not in the usual mellow way, but in one of those 'I hate being female' days. *sighs* i'm sure y'all needed to know that too
We attempted to eat lunch there, but the cafe had closed. We'd skipped breakfast to get there. >P But one of the cafe workers took pity on us when I asked if we could beg some bread and gave us a scone that they couldn't use, cause it was broken.
Massively good scone. *purrrrrrrs*
Museum decided to close an hour early, so we got out just as it decided raining. Which was kind of funny, since as we looked out the back door, it was almost impossible to tell the difference between the flat pond in the back and the sidewalk around it.
So got food, got on the road and started heading south. It was wet and rainy for a long time, then it calmed down and we had some gorgeous clouds. Mati and started talking about a YGO/SG-1 and then we got caught in a Speed Trap in Talala.
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Turns out the whole city is locally known as a speed trap. But what gets me is that the cop said that we'd been driving 56mph in a 45mph zone. 55mph was the last posted speed limit we saw. We were pulled over outside of the city, in a 65mph zone after having evidently ignored the TWO 45mph signs that we never saw. ~_~
... if we wanna argue it, hafta be back in Oklahoma in June. *sigh*
So curled up in a hotel, mind kinda blank. Being highly paranoid about road signs currently. just because you're paranoid....
But hey, the Art Museum had glowing cones in the basement. ^_______^

Anyway, glad you're having fun other than that! Enjoy A-kon and I'll see you in a week.

Sounds like an intresting trip despite the downsides.
