I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Twitter says Warren is killing it.

Msbelle, my assignment for you tomorrow: take a couple hrs & go down to Canton waterfront park to go see the Harbor. It'll be chilly, but it'll take you down near Fells & Patterson Park if you're feeling ambitious (feel like Mexican? Cocina Luchadoras.) There's also a Target/Harris Teeter/Nordstrom Rack/etc nearby if you want to combine errands. Maybe take a water taxi.

I'd also suggest BMA, but a trek down to the harbor would honestly lend more geographic contrast.

I'll just keep suggesting things-can't let you get as housebound as I've been this winter....

Phew! Finished my great Disneyland adventure. Which was just me going to Disneyland for two days. Still, I was there for 13 hours yesterday and 8 hours today. And I got to ride Rise of the Resistance, even though I was in group 157.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Woo, Disneyland!

The status is NOT quo.

So awesome, Dana! I'm bummed we missed you this time.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Thanks for the wishes! The day was lovely, I got a toast with Glenmorangie, and the cold supper was superb. I've developed rather an antipathy to food lately, and cooking seems a part of that. So non-hot food is good. Especially when the food is good regardless.

I'm hearing WSJ and NYT simply decided not to mention Warren in their poll results. Can I blow them up now?

Oh, and Fiona! Hi! And hi to my birthday twin, B!

That's a lot of Disneyland Dana!!

I do not understand why lifting weights at my coach's place and lifting weights at the gym are so so different. Like, I lifted more weight on Monday at her place and felt fine, but today lifted less at the gym and felt like my muscles were going to seize up and revolt on me! Why?

Also I am not ready to be gone all weekend and then go on a work trip for two days. I haven't packed. I mean, I'm driving tomorrow but I don't want to wait too long and get stuck in rush hour traffic.

I got into the park at 8:10, later than I wanted to. They only guarantee getting to group 79, but through they day they were going at a decent pace. Then it broke down at group 140. It was maybe an hour before they got it going again? I finally got called at 8:30, and then I stood in line for another 30 minutes, at least.

It was totally worth all of that. Anyone who's planning to try and ride it at some point, my advice is to avoid spoilers if you can. I did no research and was literally running away from people talking about the ride with their friends. So I'm going to put possibly the most spoilery thing in spoiler font.

They had FUCKING LIFE-SIZED AT-ATs. The door opened, and I literally said "OH MY GOD."
