Geekdom Is...

Being able to update LJ from a gasstation in who knows where Utah on a laptop with national wireless broadband access. Heh.

We're about 2-3 hours from Vegas right now, where we'll be staying overnight at the Aladdin hotel and casino. If we get in on time and can organise babysitting, we might even go see Cirque du Soleil's KA. Kit hasn't seen that yet, and PreZ always said that he'd go again the next time he was in Las Vegas, lol. But we'll have to get to Vegas first. We're encountering some icy and nasty conditions, as well as some snow in parts. At one point we saw a pick-up truck that had managed to flip itself onto its roof. Ouchie.

Tomorrow we head out to Los Angeles. Sadly we won't be able to meet up with strigoiimorte because he was heading to his family this morning, but we might be able to hook up with djbloodrose because she'll still be in the LA area. And of course, we get to see nadya_lev again, whee! I think she wants us to help her buy a bed at Ikea tomorrow. And why not, this has been a crazy trip anyway ;)

It's nice to at least not still be stuck in Breckenridge, though it's gorgeous there and we skied some lovely powder on one of the slopes yesterday afternoon. And it's a huge relief not to be stuck at Denver airport with thousands of hungry, tired, cranky and delayed travellers.

Good luck on the road trip! Hope you get to Vegas in time for Cirque du Soleil - I hear their new show is great :)

Hey you :) A blast from the past! How are things?

Sadly it was going to take forever to get babysitting for Dashiell (2-2.5 hours minimum wait), so PreZ went with Kit, who hadn't seen it yet. We saw KA last year when we visited Vegas, so at least I didn't feel like I was missing out *that* much (though I'd have loved to have seen it again). I just watched Pirates of the Caribbean 2 on the hotel pay-per-view.

And their show really is amazing, as most of them are.

Eek, that response was supposed to be from me... I forgot PreZ was still logged in. Doh!

No worries, I figured it was you ;)

I've been alright. A little busy which = tired most of the time but I'd much rather be busy than sitting on my backside whining about not having work to do.

I actually just finished my first term of 'circus' school where we are learning to do the Tissu - Almost everyone I mention it to responds with "Oh, like in Cirque du Soleil?!" to which my response is "Yeah, sort of like that... Except I've only been doing it for 8 weeks". Its good fun but takes so much upper body strength.

I'm thinking I better go hit the supermarket before the Christmas Eve rush sets in.
