First Day Back
It was my first day back at Star Trek: The Experience today. It was pretty cool. Cash control is totally different, as is our job. I'll actually be working alot more than I originally thought. So to all those people who thought that I'd have all this free time to chat on the internet, I won't. I will have some downtime, but not much. The damn ticket scanner still doesn't work. But this time, it's kind of funny. I balanced both my deposit and the vault even though I hadn't worked in CC since 11/02.
We (Me, Brandon and his brother) went to Brian Head this weekend. It was a little slushy in parts, but still pretty fun. I did take quite a fall though. Nothing is broken, but I have a bruised rib (at least that's what I think it is; it hurts only on one side when I enhale or exhale too fast), knocked my head on the ice/snow, and knocked the wind out of myself. But my knight in shining armor came running halfway up the hill to rescue me. I was all jacked up. That happened to me only my second run, but I still skied the whole rest of the day, making sure that we got on every lift that was open, and on every run we could (that wasn't too steep for me because I was kind of scared of going too fast.) Brandon and his brother were snowboarding and they were doing tricks and stuff. Mmmmmmm.... Hot snowboarder boyfriend. We stayed at this really cool little motel the Abbey Inn. Most hotels offer a "continental" breakfast usually consisting of sweet bread thing, coffee/tea and some sort of fruit. Not here. They had a full on breakfast "house." They had scrambled eggs, toast, bagels, bacon, sausage, waffles, oatmeal and three different kinds of cereals. Plus fresh fruit. FREE. That's right folks, FREE. Our hotel stay was $55 and it included the meal. All the rooms had microwaves and refridgerators in them. The bathroom had a heat lamp. (mmmmm.... HEAT) There was eleven million channels on the TV and even the beds were comfortable. The only problem I had with the room was that the freaking pillows were crappy. Other than that, one of the best motels I've ever stayed at. And I've stayed at alot of motels (being the whore that I am.)
Hey Tara? Are you reading this? Are you still there? Give me a call sometime..
Same goes for you too, Andy.
And Christa.
And Jeff.
And anyone else who wants to drop me a line.
I really am coming up to Edmonton this summer. I'll be spending like four days there. Brandon and I are celebrating our 2 year anniversary researching each other's past and seeing where we both come from. He was born in Los Angeles but moved up to northern Cali shortly after that. So we'll be going to visit his mom, step-dad and his grandmother. I hope to be able to introduce him to as many family memebers and friends as I can while I'm in Edmonton, so everyone clear your calenders.
I can't believe that I didn't write about my trip to Grand Slam! I'm totally out of it. It was fun! I'll eventually get pictures up of it, you all know how I am. I got to meet Brent Spiner (to those of you non-nerds, the guy who plays Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation). It was the first time since I've been going to conventions that he's ever signed anything for anyone. There's usually this huge disclaimer from Creation Entertainment stating that "Brent Spiner does not sign autographs so please, no personal questions or questions about why he doesn't sign autographs." Not an exact quote, but pretty close. It was good to see Paul and Ralph! And of course, wollem and her crew! I had some friends get to take a tour of the Enterprise sets! If you want to read their story, you'll have to register for their BB. Just go to House of Tucker and go to the Trip! page and that should be the first posting. Great stuff.
Speaking of Enterprise, IT'S GETTING REALLY GOOD, for those of you keeping track. They've really stepped it up this season, for fear of being cancled. They changed it's time-slot. It's on Wed. @ 9pm instead of 8pm, so eveyone needs to change their VCRs.
So anyhoo, that's all from this end. Smell ya later...
