Had a blast at Disneyland today with Al, even getting to ride through Splash Mountain twice (no line, which was a common theme for the ( Read more... )

Before I begin, I'd like to say that I love having this user icon for entries like this. It's so fitting yet funny and cute at the same time. Secondly, I should have known my title for yesterday's post, while inaccurate to the feel of that entry, would become completely appropriate for the followup.

To be fair, I had a blast yesterday. After ( Read more... )

I admit the headline is a bit misleading, since actually things seem to be working out. I was thrilled to open my computer last night and find that "Virus Database has been updated" and my internet seems to be working. Avast is probably the best thing to ever happen to me, and I don't know what I'll do when the trial period is up. I sent in my ( Read more... )

Shannon or Andrew should get that title, other than that I think it'd be a stumper. But it does have to do with what I am doing tomorrow, which is going to Gisnepland with Jeffrey. Andrew is going to get us in, and join us for Fantasmic! and hopefully Splash and/or Indy before I go and spend the noche on his couch and then we go home this weekend ( Read more... )

For the Salter canine, Mother's Day was not a bundle of joy, which might be appropriate for a dog we found jumping up against her cage in the pound, back when such means of getting a home companion were still en vogue. After waking me up at 7:30 to let her out, Lady somehow managed to get into a fight with some anonymous cruel being who left her ( Read more... )

I am working on going back and tagging all of my old LJ posts. I'm working backwards, so I just go to where I left England, having to have gone through that horrible summer at home one more time. I thought it would be good to attempt journalistic integrity for the ages at the time, but it's really just depressing. Perhaps that's because I'm still ( Read more... )

It's been a quiet few days and then one day of baby. After taking it easy Monday and Tuesday (starting to make loan payments and trying not to cry when I think about finances) I woke up tres early this morning (which wasn't so bad because my dreams and nocturnal discomfort have been out of control lately...I blame Vicodin, Nexium, iron pills, and ( Read more... )

What a fun day at Disneyland with Andrew and Shannon! Andrew was able to go with us on Buzz Lightyear (I'm Level 3 on my first try, but then Andrew was Level 6 so ptttthpt), Star Tours ("I'm sure I'll do better next time!") and Space Mountain (soooooo fun when you no longer have problems with incontinence!) and of course Pirates (no evac this time ( Read more... )

So I'm browsing through comments on some youtube videos of Fantasmic and Animazement, two Disneyland shows, thinking "Wow, these people are OBSESSED. And total GEEKS!"

Then I realize my hypocrisy and hang my head in shame.

And watch it again.

It's been a long week, so of course I haven't written in my journal. I never manage to write about stuff that's actually worth remembering! Grandpa and I drove to USC on Monday for my interview with processing and my doctor's appointment in Glendale. Got the job, so I'm employed at least for a couple months (so great: casual dress, hour lunch, two ( Read more... )
