Random news.

In the past few days, I have...

...been cantered over by Delilah, a sixteen-hand paint mare. We were freeschooling and she was wigging out and I happened to be standing in the middle of the ring, trusting her to realise that THERE WAS A HUMAN STANDING IN HER WAY. But no, she didn't see me and ran right over my foot with her leading fore. It's a good thing she was barefoot and I had paddock boots – I'm pretty sure my metatarsals would be just about severed right now. Luckily I got off with a bad bruise. Now my left leg is purplish-greenish-blue...again.

...ridden for the first time since, oh, October? Yup, got to exercise Savannah, an eleven-year-old leopard appaloosa. We didn't do much, on account of my foot and the facts that we'd just freeschooled for a half hour and she hadn't had a saddle on since December. But 'twas fun; she's so sensitive, all you have to do is adjust your seat, and she'll halt or go faster or whatever. Her new owner will be very happy with her.

...filched an old NES from the bowels of my mentor Tina's basement. We cleaned her house so she can move to Old Saybrook, and nobody wanted it. Funny how such old platforms can be so appealing. Now if we could only figure out how to use it...

...been to the Vision Festival for the first time in my life. Which is pathetic, because out of the twelve festivals that have happened annually since it started, my dad's performed at eleven. It's creepy free jazz, and we didn't get to see very interesting performances, but whatev. I can check something else off my list of life accomplishments.

Anyways.
