- Buckethead is tonight. I’ve been wanting to get back to Downtown Disney to take pictures and was hoping to do so today. However we won’t get there before the concert until after the sun goes down. Do I really want to go out there twice in one day? Well, yeah, I do. But I also want to go to Newport Beach and take pictures there. I’ll most likely end up doing neither, since it’s Saturday and the kids will have plans.
- Dead spiders are only marginally better than live spiders. Depending on how big and where they are. Sure, live spiders move and scurry really fast and are therefore a much bigger threat. But somebody really needs to do something about all the dead spiders outside our apartment door. That’s all I’m saying.
- Yeasayer is playing tomorrow night. I really want to see them. I was considering going, even though I’m seeing Buckethead tonight, because it’s at the Troub and I could sit down. And I really want to see them. However I just realized I have to help roll out a website update tomorrow night at 9pm. Why do it on Sunday at 9pm? Who knows? I guess they figure less traffic on the site at that time. I tend to doubt it, since it’s a website for gamers.
- I showed Elijah my new favorite discovery, a band called Portal. He showed me Locust. I win.
- My parents are coming down for Christmas. I’m excited. They were originally hoping we could go to Washington for the holiday but there’s just no way. Christmas is one of the busiest times for Daniel, and the next month or so is going to be really busy for me, too, it looks like. Plus, no money.
- We’re going to a friends’ house for Thanksgiving. The family we went camping with to the desert to go dirt biking last winter. They’re super cool. And this year instead of bringing videogames I’m making the kids bring a football, badmitton, some games and some coloring books.
I love coloring books.

Me too! My daughter’s teacher asked if I wouldn’t mind coloring a gigantic line drawing map that she had printed and I had to try and act like I just didn’t mind instead of letting her know that it would be the highlight of my weekend…

When we went camping in the desert last year, there was about 6 teenagers there, almost all boys, and I brought My Little Pony coloring books. When they weren’t riding bikes, they were coloring My Little Pony. Who doesn’t like crayons?
