Taird.
I'm so exhausted. Bryan came home at 3 last night, while I was playing BioShock, and kept me up til 6. NORMALLY, I have work Saturday mornings, so that would have been bad, except that I got the day off.
Why, you ask? Simple. Bryan's Dad and wife took us to Knott's Berry Farm today. Jezus that place has changed since I went last. I mean, honestly. They took out the Dinosaur ride, they painted the two rollercoasters I was familiar with, and added a whole shit load of OTHER stuff I'd never heard of. Some of it was awesome: Pony Express, for example. The coaster cars are made to look like horses, and you lean over them like you're riding a real horse at top speed, and it shoots you out at like 50 mph. Some of it was lame: Jaguar. If you've been on it, I'm sorry. If not... Don't. 45 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Mind you, only 2 or so was the ride, but it goes like 10 mph, and doesn't have any g's to speak of.
We did La Revolucion (pretend there's an accent somewhere in there) which is basically like the traditional Dragon Swing, except that it's an eight pronged star with four seats on each prong, and it spins as it swings, and you're strapped in, so it goes almost upside down, something the dragon swing can never do.
We also went to Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant, where we decided it was good that Walter Knott hadn't been more of an egotist, or boysenberries might be called Knottberries. Imagine the confusion.
"What kind of pie would you like?"
"Knottberry."
"Okay, well we also have pumpkin..."
You get the idea. Who's on first, anyone?
We were so sleepy on the way home that we fell asleep in the back seat, even though Bryan's dad managed to get lost twice on the way home. *Shrug* It was a good day, all in all.
But now it's time for a little xbox, then major bed.
