Pre-Christmas in the Cruz

[jadesfire2]

So this weekend was awesome with a capitol SOME. Friday I headed to Santa Cruz by way of the Tech Museum in San Jose as they were having a Star Trek exhibit. There were tons of props and costumes and some recreated sets, it was great. I got this picture of me on the transporter pad, but get this, the picture is holographic so when you turn it it looks like I'm beaming down! And I got to see the model for the Enterprise D, which is something I've wanted to see ever since I saw that episode of Reading Rainbow a billion years ago when Levar Burton takes you backstage TNG.

Lolly and Avi came to Lis's house on Saturday, and we prepped for the HOLY CRAP GIGANTIC CHRISTMAS PARTY. Lis's mom goes epic with the cooking. There's three different cakes, pies, beef wellington, cream puffs, syllabub, and mode. I helped cream the puffs and made pizzelles. It was all friggin delicious and now I need to figure out if beef wellington is something I can feasibly make.

Sunday we did the Bagelry, played Small World, saw The Princess and the Frog again, and went to trivia night at the Poet & Patriot. I contributed scraps of pop culture knowledge, and we won a free pitcher in the fourth round.

And that was my weekend, jam packed with good times. Now I get to sit on a plane all day. Philly trip starts tomorrow!
