You get AAA because ...
… When you shut your locked car door on a rainy Monday morning, and turn to see your keys resting inside on the driver's seat, they'll send some guy to open your car within 20 minutes, no questions asked.
Happy Monday.
Happy Monday.

The Wonderland of Rocks
So I went to Joshua Tree, with my Sierra Club class, and we wandered around in the desert, slept in the very very cold, and climbed around on things till we were all bloody and bruised. Whee! No, for realz, yo.
It doesn't look like it was almost freezing, does it? Link goes to flickr photoset.

hahaha OMG
The Comic-Con hotel reservations opened at 9 today. At 9:45, when I called Sara to warn her, they were almost completely full. San Diego tends to swell to bursting with nerds during the convention, and based on my experience last year (two nights at the coolest hotel evar, followed by two nights at The La Quinta Hell-Pit — at the same rate) I wanted to get my res in early. Obviously the thing to do would be to make reservations at the Motel 6 or hostel or whatever a year in advance, but I don't think that way, so I depend on the Comic-Con's low, low, negotiated rates with local hotels. Now, these rates are low. Low. Especially considering where some of them are; Nick and I will be staying at none other than The Westgate Hotel, a five-star luxury hotel walking distance from the convention center. We are there at a rate that, for a total of three nights, is less than ONE NIGHT there at the standard rate. I checked.
Hey man, we can't afford to eat there, but we can offend some rich old people with our scruffiness. Holy crap.
Edit: I remembered that Spike stayed at some hotel in Little Italy last year that she recommended highly, and on investigating found out two people can stay there for the princely sum of $75 a night. So we'll be staying there, instead. Yep.

Last night the lovely and talented Jason G. sent me this photo, from his bonfire last month. Jason shares my love of a good source-light photo =]

because I'm awesome
Well, I guess I can stop complaining about feeling underappreciated at work. Earlier this week I got my bonus and a raise, on the same day. Wooo! When I thanked my boss this morning, she gave me a hug and said "We've ignored you for too long. It's not time for raises yet, but you've earned it." Dang tootin' I've earned it!
*does the raise dance*
After shopping my little heart out at REI, my next goal is to move out of the ghetto. Belmont Shore, here I come!
