  • So here's a MEGA picture update because I've been gone from all you wonderful folks for so long!  I've been BUSY, plus now that I'm getting to know more folks from my Disney forum I tend to get out more instead of being on the computer.  But enough talk, let's start with the pictures!

    Early in the month I went to Disneyland & California Adventure with Nick.  He happily let me drag him along to Soarin' Over California and then Tower Of Terror, where a nice CM (Disney employee) took this picture.  It was a cool day so I had a long sweater, which was good because I coerced Nick to go on Grizzly River Run right before this ... not only did I get wet ... but my behind was wet the entire day!  Then we went to rock the Universe on Rockin' Space Mountain with "Higher Ground" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers playing.  It was a BLAST!  I love that ride, and now when I go to Disneyland (which is pretty much EVERY Sunday) I HAVE to go on Space Mountain or Tower Of Terror.  Plus, my agenda was not only to take Nick to Disneyland for a great time, but to also get the special VMK cards with his admission ticket (since I have to wait one more month to get more myself ... the only disadvantage of an Annual Passport).  Notice my other Disney obsession around my neck - pin trading/collecting! 

    Well, after that I ended up organizing a meet up at the California Science Center to see the "Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination" Exhibit.  We had a nice small group so I was able to talk/get to know everyone that came, and one of the MiceChatters brought his twin daughters as well - they were adorable!


    These spheres are in the center courtyard that connects the IMAX theatre and the Museum, the beautiful violet color comes from the skylight right above them.


    I love the Storm Trooper costume!


    Behind the Darth Vader mask.  No wonder he's bad!


    A VERY detailed Millenium Falcon model.

    Me and a Storm Trooper.  One of the MiceChatters was familiar with his group and we talked for a while with him.  What was even cooler is that he had that mic thing going with his voice just like the movie!  Talk about attention to detail!!!

    Mike then invited me to accompany him to the Scottish Festival at the Queen Mary, I'd never been to either so I was interested in checking this out.  It was a rather cool day, but it was nice to walk around the boat.  My only lament is that it isn't kept up in that great of a condition (Disney standards have ruined me ... LOL), but it was nice to go somewhere new and get to see men in kilts!


    This Scotsman was telling stories about maiming and war to the kiddies.


    Who's ready for Jumangi!


    Mmmmmm ... bagpipes!  You know what I mean!


    The control room on board the Queen Mary.


    Walking around the Promenade deck I found this.


    Inside the shopping areas on board the ship.

    And today I decided to take my camera along with me to take pictures on the way back to work after eating lunch at home.


    I love the fact that this is the view I get every morning on the way to work.  I have fallen in love with the Downtown L.A. skyline.


    I'm a daredevil, taking pictures while driving.


    Half of Downtown was gray, the other half looked like this.  Almost looks like the sky is photoshopped.


    Something else I see every work day, the Coca Cola Building.


    My little corner in hell!


    At 4 pm I broke out of hell and it was raining!

    Well, that's it for now.  Hopefully I'll be on here a bit more now!
