So yay for no more radiation!

That's a relief!

Gads. Tom, I want ita to go back in time and ask your dad if he watches Firefly.

I don't even like movies that make me feel adrenaline-y. It makes me want to get up and leave the theater.

I can see that. I can deal better with movies because they're not actually happening to me, so I think that's why I can stay removed enough to enjoy them (usually). The coaster was actually happening to me, so I just spent the ride noticing how terribly uncomfortable I was.

But remaining calm in a dire situation will serve me well when the zombies come, so I've got that going for me.

Tom, that's very sad.

I still remember my Dad forcing my brother and me to ride the teacups (when we were about 10 and 11) because we had used up all the D and E tickets and he was determined to get his money's worth. I think we drew the line at Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride though.

But! But! HULK SMASH! Beserker rage!

No?

I just got back three out of office emails telling me the recipients are out until May 17th. Did someone call a vacation and not tell me? Where is everyone? Somewhere fun? Magic Mountain?

Did he tell you that it didn't REALLY hurt, and/or that you had a good time?

Not explicitly. HE was having a good time, I though I was supposed to, too.

My mom is from the school of parenting where you pull a Punk'd on your kid and then insist that they REALLY liked it. Good times. Loved the therapy bills.

This is why I will not go to haunted houses and yet my mother to this day will insist -- INSIST -- that I liked them as a kid.

Tom, I want ita to go back in time and ask your dad if he watches Firefly.

Yes, this.

Glad to hear your good news, Burrell!

I don't remember the teacups, if I rode them. I vaguely remember Pirates of the Caribbean, I think, but that's about it. I should go back to Disneyland at some point, it's been 35ish years.

I like this plan.

But remaining calm in a dire situation will serve me well when the zombies come, so I've got that going for me.

I can totally see that. Me? I'll continue to be avoidy.

So the new calendar for next year's school year? We have off a week at Thanksgiving. SO EXCITING. But they are unpaid furlough dates (not exciting).

Grrr, Tom.

Too bad you couldn't have thrown up on Dad while on the tea cups.

Not that I did that or anything.

Good news, Burrell!

But! But! HULK SMASH! Beserker rage!

For some of us, that would just be a recipe for trouble. And getting killed. I'm going to rely on my wiles! I wish both nearby malls had food courts, instead of just the one.
