Get ready, National Parks of Northwestern America, I'm comin' at ya! In the next two weeks I'm going to be camping and hiking at all of the following parks:

- Rocky Mountain NP
- Canyonlands NP
- Arches NP
- Grand Teton NP
- Glacier NP

On the National Parks Service website , which I am a HUGE fan of, their tagline is: Experience Your America. Well I am certainly taking my America for a spin this month. I know that devoted readers of my blog (of which I'm sure there are many) will remember me bitching about the eighty dollar price tag for a National Parks Pass but I think that the outrageous cost has really propelled me into visiting as many parks as possible this year. That and the fact that I've got no house and no job and I've got to spend my time somewhere, doing something! Might as well go for a hike.

I don't think I have any highlights from Denver this week, although I did go to the local Buffalo Exchange (always a favorite clothing store of mine) and get a bitchin' new vest for twelve bucks. For those of you not in the know Buffalo Exchange is a chain of stores where you can buy and sell used clothes, it's pretty great but naturally it can't compare to my true fav Beacon's Closet in Brooklyn. To follow my stream of consciousness here's a funny story about Beacon's Closet:

Once I was on the B63 bus on 5th ave in Brooklyn and there were these two girls my age sitting in front of me, and being the snoop that I am I was eavesdropping on their conversation. The bus drove past Beacon's Closet in Park Slope. The one girl was saying how Beacon's Closet was prejudiced against "bigger girls" because she always tries to sell her clothes there but they don't take them because she's a size 10, while her friend who is a size 6 never has any problems selling clothes to them. I giggled because I'm a size 10 and I sell my clothes to Beacon's Closet all the time, I made 300 bucks there when I moved. Clearly that girl was pinning the blame on her clothing size, when really it was just that her clothes sucked. And I resent that girl calling herself "bigger" at a size 10, I think we're pretty damn normal-sized. Ain't nothing wrong with having an ample booty, lady! Now go buy some new clothes, because nobody wants yours.

Ah, Brooklyn life. I don't really miss it that much, I know it's hard to believe after that thrilling tale.
