Yesterday's recap - VZ Navigator gets me lost and the Mystery House Tour

[warning there are probably typos and spelling errors in this, I'm not proofing these trip entries.] So yesterday a whole day in CA and I don't have any plans. I'm up around 6am local time. Looking out the window, I see a sign advertising a gun show. Unfortunately it ended Nov1. So quick search online for things to do. I come across a few things, but the Winchester Mystery House strikes me as...

i've got some friends, some that I hardly know. But we've had some times I wouldn't change...

This weekend was wonderful. Burke arrived on Thursday night and it was so nice to see her. I had dinner with her over the summer, but I hadn't seen her in two years prior to that dinner. She was such an important part of my life in college, and I miss her. I miss talking to her and getting her unique perspective on things. Friday we went out to dinner, then back to the apartment where I made her...

An incomplete [but it's a start] list of things I want to do in the nearish vicinity of SoCal

Barnsdall Art Park - to my knowledge I have never been to the art museum here... so I must go, of course. The Bradbury Building - still never been... and it's so pretty looking. Boardner's Actor's Jam - Free Shakespeare *nod* Cabazon Dinosaurs - aforementioned reasons Chateau Marmont & Bar Marmont - this place looks so classy! I want to wander around. Then eat delicious food. Charles...

Trip of a lifetime

So Corey and I went to California a couple of weeks ago with a few other couples, Brian and Jenn and Jerry and Mindi, (later to be joined by Mark and Jen)  to see our friend Dave Kilzer finally wed.  We decided to go ahead and make a big deal out of it and stay a week in San Francisco.  It was fantastic. We stayed at great hotel, The Larkspur, in the Union Square area, which meant that ...

I need a little airplane icon. Maybe I will work on that later. For now, Guybrush will do. As you may remember, he is on a bit of a sea voyage in this cap. ;o) (Okay, I don't actually expect anyone other than raegun and maybe malerin to remember that.) We are currently in Denver. Apparently there was a big snow storm yesterday and everything got delayed. So we're going to leave...

Ordered all my store prints for SEAF , bought the frames for the big ones, supplies for the necklaces and today I will be in search of some jewelry stands. I need to get this all taken care of as we are going on a road trip to Disneyland in a week (with stops at the Winchester Mystery House and Wildlife Safari , and hopefully the Oregon Vortex ) and returning 6 days before I need to drive ...

it's not that I want to kill my ferret

I've been cleaning and packing for my drive. (I'll post a route later via Gmaps for anyone interested in just saying "hi" while I'm having to take my umpteemth try-not-to-throw-a-blood-clot breaks. And possibly in becoming surprise ferret owners. GRRRR.) Wait, let me start over. I was cleaning and packing for my drive. Up until an hour ago, which is when I finally found two matching shoes that I...

More Christmas!

Colleen (and Jordan) and I finished watching season 3 of Doctor Who . BRING ON THE SEASON 4! Well, when she comes back to visit. They left for California again today. I got the second package of my Christmas present today. It's a book of 50 crepe recipies. Yum! Also, valerie_valerah  , I got your card today. *snicker* Mom and I were cracking up. *hugs* I get to go to California in ...

Brian made Strange Things Happen for Christmas...

Well it's Christmas eve and honestly I'm not exactly sure when I'll be posting on LJ again. I seem to not post as often as I'd like to. But the past weekend it's been a bit more unusual... I guess my Christmas festivities started back on Friday. After work I went to visit Brian's family and met them in Fullerton to see Santa Claus Conquers the Martians . I had never seen it and was rather ...
