This weather… (still in Vegas)

Well, here I am, melting in this wonderful heat. Last time I checked, it was 100 degrees!

Today, we went to visit my grandparents’ offices, and then us ladies went shopping. Tonight we’re going to go pet dolphins down at the Mirage on the Strip. How fun is that? Yesterday Mom, the boys and I checked out the shark reef and misc. aquarium. I wanted to see the Bodies exibit, but my brothers are chicken.

Last night, I had the oddest dream. My brothers and I had watched the Avatar marathon on Nickelodeon, and I dreamed that I was in the show, that it was real, and wacky adventures ensued. I tend to have dreams like that if I’ve read or watched something right before I go to sleep. For instance, it happens a lot with my favorite books, especially Animorph or Discworld, because I almost always read myself to sleep. This habit nearly always results in my waking up with the corner stuck to my face and the discovery that- yet again- I’ve lost my place. Sigh. But such is the fate of a determined reader.

And now, we have to leave. I’ll finish up while Mom argues with one of the boys about bringing his Dugeons & Dragons stuff. Oh, boy. This is going to be a long night.

Vegas is bloody amazing!

Ahhh… Las Vegas. There is crime, scandals, drugs, and booze… and yet I love it! Mostly, it’s the weather, which is weird but hot. Last night, it rained (apparently for the first time in months) just because rain loves us Seattle-ites.

My Grandma Shelley, Mom, and I just got back from getting pedicures. The first time around, I stepped on my own foot and ruined it getting out of the chair. Oops! But my toes are now a lovely shade of deep blue, so all’s well that end’s well- except for the guy that I annoyed my making him redo my toes. Oh, well. 

We got out of the salon and poof! It was sunny all of a sudden! Who knew? I was watching lightning out of my window last night, and now it’s over 100 degrees. Crazy, but there you go. Anyway, I love the cacti, so that makes up for the storm.

We’re going to a luau tonigh, and that means I got a new outfit this morning. But that also means that I can’t write any more, because my mother is hollering at me to get off the computer and take a shower. I’m off, so, your good health.

On Vacation- Finally!

Hi to all my nonexistent readers and all my nosy family. I’ve been gone a while, so here’s an update:

School’s out- duh- and my mom, bros and I are currently in Las Vegas on a two-and-a-half-week road trip. Just yesterday we finished our three nights and two days stay in Berkley. We just arrived here in Vegas, at my grandparents’ house tonight at about seven. I think tomorrow we’re going to stay in Henderson and my mom, my grandma Shelley and I are going to shop around and get a spa day, pedicures and everything.  

This trip’s been great so far, even with my little brothers here (and one of them with a broken leg!). I adore road trips and traveling, so getting to go to Berkley and San Francisco for the first time and seeing Las Vegas again rocks. 95 to 100 degree weather, lots of cute California and Vegas lads, and shopping and/or sightseeing.

I think I’ve figured out how to get pictures on these posts, but I need to be on my home computer to get them on, so not for a while.

I have a great new design for the demon-god Liato in Darkblood and Silverblaze, very creepy and morbid (which is what I was aiming for). However, we need a scanner at home before I can post any sketches, so nothing doing yet.

I’m listening to this amazingly funny book on my iPod. It’s by Carl Hiassen, titled Lamb: The Gospel According To Biff, Christ’s Childhood Friend. Definitely one of the funniest books I’ve ever read- well, heard.

I suppose thu-thu-thu-that’s all, folks.
