Hey all! ND and I are at the Hollywood Bowl watching/listening to the world premiere of a live symphonic performance of Fantasia synchronized to video. Don't worry, it's intermission. Wow is it amazing. They're not doing it just like the movie; the conductor says Disney always intended Fantasia to evolve, so it's a mix of new and old. One of the new pieces was an incredible Salvadore Dali cartoon with gorgeous Mexican symphonic music. Anyway, I know I'm in LA because 1) Roy Disney Jr. is here and 2) at the end of the first act, they played "The Magician's Apprentice", and Mickey Mouse came out to shake the conductor's hand.

I love Los Angeles. Have I mentioned that lately? Okay, back to the show. Fireworks at the end! Whee!

The downside is the conversation between the two california party girls sitting behind us. I don't think the total IQ between them is higher than the temperature in my fridge.

He speaks true. Now they're talking about being "cleansed" with some drink involving molasses. Oh. Dear.

That's pretty common. It also involves cayenne pepper.

Quote from the conversation, "Isn't it ironic? I'm from california and the last swimsuit I bought was in Seattle. Its so ironic."

So new computer!!!

With recovered data!!!

Which... is for some reason missing almost 2G of my music files. Um... huh? I know there's software out there, but having just spent $100 to get my data saved, I resent also having to pay $20 because somehow they didn't actually save all of it. What else might be missing? Grr.

Also, I can right now only use it online within about two feet of my brother's desktop computer. Which is not so handy.

Yeah, that's a real bad location for the porn-watchin/readin.

Only because it's uncomfortable. My brother's out of town.

Aw, crap. I completely missed the funny Stargate! Dammit!

Maybe I'm over-sensitive, but I always feel uncomfortable watching/reading porn anywhere even vaguely public. My room or nothing, for me.

The gronk is strong this morning. I should be doing school work, but my mind is still on vacation and the rest of me is hurty from all the walking I did.

Catching up on the posts I missed while I was away:
