Drowning San Diego

 

I’m not sure why every time I visit Southern California there seems to be some sort of Armageddon-like event going on, which means that (a) it’s very tedious to watch the local news, and (b) I’m a little reluctant to call my mom and let her know where I am…

Anyway, now that I’m home I can reveal that Mark and I were in San Diego and Long Beach over the past long weekend, that we ate well and met up with Shane and Chuck, that we spent an extra day on the road getting the car fixed so we could come home, and that it was very moist all over Southern California all weekend long, which was rather refreshing…

I’ll probably have more to say on the subject later…

In Color

The coolest thing about the new Brady Bunch season box sets is that the episodes have cool artifacts like the “in color” intros and the original Paramount logo and music…

Alas, they still seem to be missing the “back after these messages” bumpers which featured a different cast member’s voice each week and ran at the end of act two…

Am I a really big ol’ geek for remembering this stuff from my childhood?

Of Queer Ska Librarians

 

If I weren’t so sleepy, I might write about dinner and record-buying last Saturday night with Dan the Ska Librarian, or dying Easter eggs with Mark yesterday morning, of the nifty new newspaper and magazine article database I’m working on, or the new G5 I’ll be getting next week, or maybe even about some of the thoughts I’m having on how I’ll no longer be living in San Francisco in a little over two months…

But I AM so sleepy, so I’ll just yawn and go back to my movie, hoping I can stay awake to the end…

New Toy

 

Mmmm. New toy. New toy with dual G5 processors, lots of RAM, and a larger hard drive than I’ve ever had before…

I’m doing my best not to get it all sticky…

Snow

 

Shaver Lake. Yes, there was that much snow left, even this late in the season. In fact, it was snowing as we drove into town…

The Move is On

An apartment has been rented. The DMV has been notified. Banking relationships have been established. And my mom is putting aside little household items she finds on sale…

We’ll be living less than a mile from a K&W Cafeteria very soon…
