Work has been pretty damn busy lately..gearing up for first day of classes, which is usually busy enough, but this year there are a couple of special projects that also have to be ready by day 1, and of course, special projects are never ready to be completed two weeks beforehand..I satyed late 2 hours on Friday, and will likely be goig in about 2 hours early on Tuesday morning to finish up. All part of the new job description.
Been figuring out what I will be doing with my time in California..hard to decide what is must-see when you only have a few days. I figure Disneyland on Friday, the concert Friday night, avoid D-land parks on Saturday, California Adventure on Sunday, maybe hop back to D-land to see the fireworks. Saturday, not sure if I want to try and get to Knott's for some roller coasters, and to see what it is like since I haven't actually been to it in more than 20 years, or if I just want to relax with no schedule at all, maybe hit a mall or something. I should look into if there is cheap transport to Huntington Beach from the D-land hotel area. All those trips to D-land over the years and we neve, ever, went to the nearest beach to see the ocean. Closest I remember was a day trip ferrying over to Catalina Island on our first trip there, when I was 8. Also, on our honeymoon, our LA trip had us spend a 1/2 hour at Venice Beach. We'll see how it goes..knowing the price of "tour" transport, and the lack of good public bus service in the area, I am thinking it will end up being the mall.
The wife and I have some tickets to some upcoming shows. End of October, we will be seeing Henry Rollins do his spoken word show again, it is always a good time. It is usually funny as hell, though I wouldn't call it a stand up comedy show by any means. Spoken Word Performance sounds so pretentious, but as of now, I can't think of anything else that describes it, other than saying it's a guy in his late forties who used to sing with a punk band that I didn't like when I was in school more than twenty years ago, getting up on stage by himself and telling amusing anecdotes about his life and current events. That doesn't sound so great either. So Spoken Word it is.
We're also going to Winter Harp in December, they're first show in Edmonton in three years.
Wow, all these things out of the house..you would think we didn't have a kid or something. We even got to go see a movie last week. We are so bad at asking people to watch the wee one, and we don't plan ahead, so we haven't been out much to anyplace that we don't take her with us. Gotta start going on more of these dates.
The little one is walking and talking up a storm. Keeps us in stitches most of the time. Her favourite thing, to say and to eat, is "Grapes".
