The Light in the Tunnel

Here's another one from our Disneyland trip. The Indiana Jones ride is pretty damned fun, in my opinion. When Kevin was much younger we took him on it, and he was catatonic for around 10 minutes afterward. He wouldn't talk or anything. It was sad, but pretty funny at the same time! Going on it this time, I can see how it might upset a kid; it's pretty epic. Luckily he did better this time. :P

This one's public, so anyone can grab one of the larger sizes if they wish.

Disneyland

Heather, Holly, Kevin, and me at Disneyland. I had a lot of fun; it was just the kind of escape from the real world that I've been needing. It was a bit unnerving that so many of the rides had "technical difficulties," though. Maybe they were just worn out from the weekend. And the Matterhorn was closed for renovation?! That's one of the reasons I went! X( But at least we got to go on Pirates and Space Mountain. The latter was just as fun as I remembered; it was worth the extra wait.

The one downside to Disneyland is that it's a good place for couples to go. Not a good place for a romantically jaded individual such as myself. But I managed. ;)

The standard friends-and-family disclaimer applies.

Dread Head

Holly's trying to put her hair in dreadlocks, but it seems awfully short. I think it's pretty awesome how it is, though. Except that it reminds me of Pinhead from the Hellraiser series, which is kinda scary.

I took the CSE 131 midterm today. I think it went pretty well, but it seems hard to tell these days. I'm certain that I did better on this one than on the 169 final, though. That's good news. I also got a totally awesome Gorillapod for my camera today. =D I can't wait to start using it.

Holly and the Cube

Holly had some insight into solving the Rubik's Cube today, and it compelled her to buy one of her own (she was playing with Mike's). She was explaining to Heather that it's basically a logic puzzle and involves more planning than simply matching colors. Holly's not usually one for logical or mathematical puzzles (just ask her about sudoku), so it was a bit surprising. I'm so proud. :P

Later we went to the mall in search of a crimson-and-black Nintendo DS. DSes are very hard to find right now, unfortunately for me; I didn't think they'd be such a hot Christmas item, but clearly I was wrong. I've heard that a couple of Gamestops might have a few, but said stores are nowhere near me... :-/
