Parking
I know, I know, a photo of the parking entrance… ridiculous! But dooood, check out the price of the parking: $10! And the price of the tickets! And the price of the food! It’s like in Disneyland, money is in units of 10:p
First View of Disney
I broke out my camera already!
Actually we went in from Disney Way which is a one way road that leads straight into Disneyland and California Adventure and THAT’S IT! There’s no lefts, no rights, nothing:p
I’m Going to Disneyland!
Hehe, we took a lot of photos today:) Maybe some more tomorrow, too.
Cos tomorrow, for the first time ever, I’m going to Disneyland! :) (The happiest place on Earth™) I’ve been to Disney World twice, but never to Disneyland. Although I guess part of the whole Disney thing is that every one is about the same as every other one. But I haven’t been since I was in 8th grade, and Yut hasn’t been in ages either, and we don’t remember much from the whole thing; it should be lots of fun:)
Btw, are the div tags messed up again? Cos I am seeing this blog with the posts scooted way down… Are you guys seeing it normal or weird? And what browser are you using? Gah, I don’t even know what I did! :(
Behemoth
Some things really stay the same: even though we aren’t at home, we are sitting side by side on computers. Only I am borrowing this desktop replacement behemoth which is ginormous and uncomfortable on my lap:p
Playing Civ
Doesn’t matter where we are, some things stay the same.
Frosted Chocolatey Ryan
She also brought a special cake just for Ryan. It’s his 2nd birthday:)
I don’t know if he actually ate much of it, though:p
Chestnut Mousse Cake
We’re visiting Yut’s parents cos it’s his dad’s birthday on Monday and also, it’s his nephew’s birthday today — a big birthday weekend.
This is the cake Yut’s sister brought over. It had a alternating layers of cake and this chestnut-grand marnier (total guess there) mousse. Delicious!
Gawrd, it’s been another one of (rather lovely) evenings spent watching tv and/or playing games. Cos you know, Apprentice is on Thursdays — it’s all about the reality tv shows that start with the letter ‘A’! Tonight was a night for funny goings-on on tv. (That’s the second time in two days that I’ve had the opportunity to say “goings-on”, I feel like an old matronly lady; I may as well say havey-cavey goings-on and complete the fuddy-duddy image.)
Anyhows, part of the problem is the Replay. We watched 24 today and it’s not a Thursday show. But seriously? It needs to stop being called 24 and start being called Jack Bauer Unlimited — like Justice League Unlimited only instead of every single DC Comics hero ever in one cartoon, it’s Jack Bauer being every sort of superhero possible. But at least Kim’s gone! I know, I know, she’s hot and whatever, but seriously, the character was so annoying it became, who gives a shit, please just take her off the show!!! Makes me wonder if Jack was as crazily kickass in previous seasons of 24, and I didn’t get even mildly irritated because all of my ire was directed at Kim.
Okay, after 24, we switched to live tv and watched the Apprentice. *Spoilers ahead if you DVR’d Apprentice:p* The task was to create graffiti advertisements for Gran Turismo 4 in Harlem. Tara (project manager for Net Worth) spent the whole time talking about the community and how if the street smarts didn’t win, she’d lose all street credibility. Dude, she lost all street credibility when she called it “street credibility”! Who says that?! Even funnier was Alex (pm for Magna) who tried to talk about bling and mad propz and whatnot, but I don’t think he knew what mad propz means. Yet Magna won! Net Worth lost cos their so-called ad had Gran Turismo as a relatively small part of the graffiti — it wasn’t much of an advert:p And Tara kept going back to how the two (?!) people on their team who’d ever played Gran Turismo didn’t tell her that it wasn’t just about racing in New York city, etcetc like that was why they’d lost. It was so bizarre! The worst part was when the commercials came on and they talked about how Law & Order: Trial By Jury is going to air next Thursday after the Apprentice, but when I first heard it, I thought they were talking about today. (I told Yut right off that he was gonna lose me when Law & Order came on cos I was going to have to stop playing games:p) But I have to wait for next week.
Well I’m all tired out now (it’s 2am, even though I started this post at 12:30am cos I was typing in between turns of Civ), so I won’t get into the rest of it. But I watched ER (this part of the tv watching didn’t have any havey-cavey goings-on, maybe personally embarassing, but that’s it), then the nightly news (I know it’s February sweeps but a report about “What to do about sucky bosses?!” Talk about frou frou so-called news:p Plus it had no constructive anything!), then Jay Leno (He had on “hip-hop” violinists: two New York black guys who play violins on New York’s subway. Only you’re not really supposed to, so they’ve gotten collared before, hence “Stop the violence — not the violins!” one of them said that:)), then Conan (his hair was being extra poufy today, so his head looked extra large, if you can imagine that). That’s a lot of tv. And I guess I did get into the rest of it. Okay, g’night:p
Random Goings-On
Cafe Panini is a sandwich/cafe place in Berkeley with paninis, hot sandwiches, that are so good. Anyhows, today, they had a new panini: pork loin with bacon, sundried tomatoes, and cheese (open face). I think they could’ve called it hot heart attack:p But anyhows, I got one to go for lunch today, which I guess wasn’t such a great idea since the melted cheese just stuck to everything. Oh well, still good.
After lunch, I was going back to work when I saw this girl wearing these crazy shoes. They were clear acrylic (or some kind of plastic) with the tiniest of stiletto heels, with a bigger bottom part than the picture. It’s the kind of shoe that makes Yut wonder if a guppy could live in the bottom part of the shoe:p Omg, I was so surprised, I actually looked up from the ground to check her out. She was wearing jeans and a red sweater and carrying books, so I assume she was on her way to class. But dude! She was dressed for work, in a way:p
Hmmmm… meow!
But seriously, I’ve never seen anyone wear that type of shoe in the light of day.
Clothing Cabinet
We did a lot of laundry this weekend. (Why is it that we end up doing a lot of laundry and almost nothing else on three day weekends?)
Yut’s taken to putting our clothes into our dressers like vertical files, instead of stacking them. It actually works a lot better cos I can find stuff waaaaay easier. I used to mess up the folding job grabbing clothes, so that when we next did laundry, Yut would go to put away the piles and I wouldn’t have space in my drawers cos everything was in shambles.
Although I must say, my previously messy drawers came in handy when we were playing Taboo once and I got the word wrinkles. I said something like, “In the morning, when I get dressed, you always say I’m all… <frantic hand waving> cos my clothes are a mess in my drawers.” Or something like that. He got it on the first guess:D
