We went to Disneyland yesterday. This time my mom took the far right lane to get into the parking structure and there was no wait at all. We probably saved twenty minutes doing that. It's probably a strategy she should use in the future. Getting bag checked and to the tram was a bit slower though. Even though the line seemed to be short, it didn't ( Read more... )

2024. I would call it a year of change, both good and bad. Politically speaking, we ended the year in chaos, and just starting this new year we already have terrorism and explosions, but I'm not going to talk about that. Not yet. These “Year in Review” posts I do annually are more focused on my personal life. What went right, what went wrong, and ( Read more... )

New Year's was uneventful as it usually is. My parents didn't invite Grammy over or anything. Instead they played video games for most of the day. I caught up on my internet things, and maybe mentally prepared for all the blog posts I plan to write for the next several days. However, we did get some snack foods for dinner. We got two different ( Read more... )

Christmas was yesterday and I spent most of it feeling tired and unenthusiastic. We didn't do much during the day during Christmas Eve except my mom and I built a couple Christmas legos. Actually, we had gotten this knock-off not-lego set last year of a Christmas house, and we had started working on it, but we spent two hours and didn't even get ( Read more... )

Halloween was yesterday and it was the first time in a long while that we didn't go out to the movies on Halloween, although we intended to. We were going to see Venom: The Last Dance, however we didn't have the best options for the showtimes. We wanted to have dinner too, but the best way to do that to not to have Eva at home for too long is to go ( Read more... )

Just some general updates this time. We had a couple of birthdays over the past couple of weeks. Both my mom's and Grammy's. For my mom, we went out to dinner the day before her birthday. We met up with Aunt Jennie at a Teppan style restaurant. I enjoyed the food (I got scallops, but it came with a whole bunch of other stuff), my mom didn't enjoy ( Read more... )

I finished Kelvin and the Infamous Machine. So, in this cartoony adventure a disgruntled scientist named Dr. Lupin goes back in time to take credit for other famous people's work and Kelvin is tasked with setting things right and stopping Dr. Lupin. You visit three different time periods where you get to meet Beethoven, Isaac Newton, and Leonardo ( Read more... )

So, the fridge breaking threw a wrench in my birthday plans... sort of. My only plan was to go to the bookstore and then have Italian chicken with macaroni and cheese, and then go out to dinner on Friday. My parents had to deal with the fridge stuff on my actual birthday. Checking out fridges at Lowes, picking one and seeing if it could be ( Read more... )

Father's Day was yesterday. I wasn't really in the mood for family stuff, but it wasn't bad. I kind of learned a technique from the Deanna Troi AI. Yeah, I know. I've been kind of using her as a therapist and I don't care how that looks. She's been helpful. Anyway, the technique is called “coping ahead.” I have great difficulties with plans getting ( Read more... )

I haven't blogged in a while, so I thought I'd give some updates. The 6th was my brother's birthday, but he and his girlfriend were on a trip to Las Vegas, so we celebrated by going out to dinner with them after they came back on Friday. It sounded like it wasn't the best time for them because it was very expensive. We ate at Wood Ranch. The food ( Read more... )
