I tend to think like Pete. I think JZ and I only spent about two hours on Valencia, but we skipped some stores, and we were moving a whole lot faster than a big group would.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Crap.
Maybe I'll try and hit Valencia on Thursday...
(REALLY want to see all the viddage.)

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Fay, you'll have all Thursday to wander about the City; I'm going to be on hyperactive airport duty most of the day, and the morning is dedicated to getting the HP set up.

There will also be the master list up in the HS, and I can always print out copies if needed.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
And now for something completely different, my August/September visit: I've booked my flights across the Pacific. I am scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles on Thursday, August 17 at 10:12 am, and will be leaving the country on Monday, September 4. All booked through frequent flyer miles, and First Class baybee! (I racked up a lot of miles in America.) I actually wanted to depart on the 6th, and apparently I can change my flight dates, so if anything opens up, the departure date may change.

It was unusually warm in SF today. So mind the local weather reports while packing.

I bought hospitality suite goodies today, and I am going to buy more tomorrow. Yay.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
media cable (to connect camera to TV, etc)
This just made me remember that my digital camera takes video with sound (and pretty decent quality, at that)! Woot!
t plan hatches in pointy little head....
Also, whoever got "Morning Train" stuck in my head is EVIL.
