ickaimpSo, flying. Flying went well. Entertained stewardesses with cat plushie.
... Texas? Not so well.
Got to Dallas Love, and N forgot a bag back at the shuttle pick up. The attendant had thankfully saved it and laughed as we as we thanked him. Picked up stuff from Plano, which doesn't sound like it should. Plaaaaaaaaaa-nto. Where does that 't' come from?
Tried to find the hotel. The Tom-Tom got us majorly lost. In retrospect, the Tom-Tom knew more than we did.
Okay, to date there had been 2 hotels that have actually ranked the 'Weird-Shyte-O-Metre'.
1: Shadow Pines in Yellowstone, that had the scary tongue moose head, no exterior lighting, smelled like mildew and had the glowing skulls across the street.
2: The nice hotel in San Jose with the extremely drunk guy who would not shut up or leave, shouting about raping women outside the door of two women.
This one I'm still trying to figure out where it goes in the Top 3. I'm not sure if it was the overall vibe, the mix-mashed signs, the shouting fights in three different areas, the hotel desk calming informing one of the 5 security guards that 'if they continue, just call 911', or the trains on the other side of the street blaring their horns long and loud every 10-15 minutes.
... Or maybe it was the heart-shaped swimming pool. >_O On the positive side, it -was- clean.
Anyway. Moved to a different hotel close by, right across the street from Six Flags Over Texas (Yay!) and had dinner at a interesting 50s diner called Steak and Shake.
The subject line was on a shirt a girl at the diner was wearing. It cracked us up, so had to share.
And with that, have work in the morning. Am charging camera up for photos, work site promises to be really pretty. Whoo-hoo!

Date: 2009-03-18 12:26 pm (UTC)Not that Saguru was sure it mattered anymore. The poor woman looked like her mind had given up on reality somewhere during the Monuments In Dishware series-- Kuroba-kun just couldn't resist the pun in the Great Wall of China, nor, apparently, could he stop there. Now he was up to recreating the solar system, gods knew why, in tea saucers... and as far as Saguru could tell, he was somehow getting the different orbital speeds correct in relation to each other. It shouldn't be physically possible, but then again, Kuroba-kun did quite a few things that Saguru was sure broke th' laws o' physics, Captain.
He also wasn't entirely sure why, since meeting Kuroba-kun, he'd started narrating physics and engineering in Scotty.
But he was quite sure that the footage on his well-hidden video camera would be a very useful rebuttal should Nakamori-chan get it into her head to marry Kuroba-kun.
