Weekend stuffage:
May. 10th, 2009 02:29 pmNumbered for your reading convenience.
1. The weekend was greatly improved by a visit from![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
manta1104, who came up to join us for Stephen Lynch and Star Trek revelry. We had no, repeat, no, surprising shower incidents, no matter what evil rumors might be flying about.
2. Alas,tThe disabled parking at Universal, which I had been avoiding, is, indeed, worse than I feared. Yay for putting the disabled parking on the same level as CityWalk; major, major Nay, for having the disabled parking literally nearly a mile to either park entrance and a full mile away from Hard Rock Café or Blue Man Group. Which meant I had to go by wheelchair. Double nays for not allowing wheelchairs on the moving walkways. Geesh. Memo to Universal: we have disabled parking permits precisely because we can't walk that far. Luckily, I had kindly friends willing to push the wheelchair as long as I promised not to sing.
3. I do, however, like Universal's Hard Rock's venue. Once you can get to it.
4. Small note to people on the balcony of the Hard Rock Café: Yes, yes, from the ground floor, we can see you putting a hand down that girl's shirt. And thank you for another reminder of the joys of alcohol.
5. Stephen Lynch. Raunchy. Hysterical. Brilliant.
6. Trek. In IMAX, dudes. Awesome. Just awesome. Brilliantly combining continuity while tearing it apart. (More on this in a separate post, but for now, I'll just echojazzhandshimmer - go see this.
Plus, we had chocolate covered ginger. Usually reserved for pirate movies, but, you know, sometimes you just have to make an exception for these sorts of things.
7. Bread machine. Needs more practice before it is tried on more discriminating palates. Or strangers. Or friends. Even the cats were slightly underwhelmed (and the Grey One finds the machine's "whirr whirr" during the mixing process terrifying).
Now to recover from all this, after a few Trek statements.
