So this is how my birthday weekend went:
On Friday, I gleefully skipped work and went to Disneyland with my bff. I got in for free and a nifty pin, WOOHOOOOOO ilu, Disney!
We rode all the rides worth riding, and never waited more than ten minutes in line. That is the wonderful thing about going to Disney at the asscrack of opening on a weekday.
At Disney, me and P saw the Princess Tiana parade in New Orleans Square, and and and and HIGHLIGHT OF MY BERFDAY GUYS. Prince Naveen, while singing and skipping along with the other dancers and musicians, spotted me in the crowd, and paused and smiled and shouted 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY!' to me.
HIGHLIGHT OF MY LIFE A DISNEY PRINCE LOVES MEEEEE.
Okay, so maybe not quite. But it did make me quite happy. Good job, Disney!
We had lunch at the fancy restaurant in the Pirates ride, Blue Bayou, and ate so much we had the leftovers for dinner. In fact, most of our afternoon was spent leisurely shopping and watching the parades and stuff which was nice since by the afternoon, an explosion of people had descended on the park, lol.
Sat and Sunday P and I went to UCLA for a symposium on ancient Chinese bronze mirrors. Gorgeous mirrors, interesting talks for the most part. I saw a conservator I worked with at the Getty, and that was cool to see her again. Enjoyed the talks about the Persian motifs on some of them, and the lack of individualization of the figurines, but wished I had more background info to go off of.
And then, I come home to find that my dad bought The Beatles Rockband, supposedly as a "birthday gift", but what I highly highly HIGHLY suspect is simply his own midlife crisis as I never play video games, do not have any unusual love for the Beatles beyond the ordinary affection for cultural icons, and have never ever ever talked about rockband the game with anyone, much less my dad. So I spent most of the day making fun of him and his Beatles love, but ended up playing it for three straight hours after dinner anyways. What can I say; 'I am the Walrus' is enormously fun to get loud to.

I think this week's Glee was one of the strongest episodes so far. It's still kind of patchy and all over the place, but the issues they address, the stuff they reveal about the characters, the development of so many of them at once. MAN. This episode picked up my Glee love again.
Just-- no spoilers but:
1. Artie Abrams is a fucking hottie. I love him all over the place, and this episode only cements that burning torch I hold for him. His penis, guys. It still works.
2. SUE. OH, SUE. OH, BECKY. AUGHAJGREKJJLFERLQER.
3. Kurt and his DAD oh my god I love this odd couple and I want them forever and ever to be showcased in all its glorious awkward pure love. And I find it super hot that apparently, Kurt can fix cars. And his dad's expression whenever Kurt talks about clothes! The pain! The panic! HAHA.
4. The Rachel/Finn/Quinn/Puck thing is kind of wearing on me a little.I think that situation is like a scab I'm waiting to rip off all at once.
5. I LOVED the last song performance. It was SO. So well done. And the song arrangement was reeeaally refreshing from straight out karaoke.
I am SO EXCITED for next week's episode. It looks like it'll be HI-LARIOUS. The return of TERI hahaha.
Also, David Spade sat a table down from us at the Cheesecake Factory today.
Also, I went to Griffith Observatory with the family today, and it was awesome. 'Center of the Universe' is kind of a spectacular show at the Planetarium.

There was a sale at Blockbuster today, so I grabbed a crap ton of dvds, including Fast and Furious, because I've arbitrarily come to like fast cars and dramatic gear shifting in my movies. So now I'm watching the first two movies on various, illegal sites etc.
Man, these movies are so full of gay subtext I kind of get a shock every time a lady appears on screen. That Paul Walker knows how to lay on the yearning blue gaze like a pro.
Although, I have to say I really liked the character of Letty in the first movie. She's kind of a badass.
And also, I love that they have rainbow racing-- a carefully chosen racer of a different ethnicity-- yellow, brown, black, and white. Though, natch, the white driver smokes 'em all.
Among my other purchases are Transporter 3 and 17 Again. Don't judge me!
eta: I keep seeing Chris Pine in the place of Paul Walker, and then I get sad every time I hear Walker's lame monotone. This movie needs to be remade with Chris Pine as Brian. Oh, please oh please oh pleeeeeeeeaaase.

Okay, so maybe like no one I know watches this show called 'White Collar', but I do or at least the pilot so far, and really really dug it, but anyways. Anyways.
Matt Bomer is gay and taken.
On behalf of all the straight girls and single gay men and all else who find hot men hot out there, I say "FUUUUUUUUUUCK."
Because this boy is goddamned beautiful, and at this point I don't care if the show runs down to crap (which it doesn't seem like it will), because I will watch it anyways for the gratuitous shots of his breathtaking physique baby blues and soft, wavy dark hair and heart-melting physique smirk and snazzy fashion sense.
My heart, it palpitates for him. Also, Mark Sheppard was in the pilot. I LOVE HIM he always seems so like, slightly evil and cranky and intelligently hot. Gnah.
Took Buddy to the groomer's this week. He had to have all his fur shaved. We try not to laugh too loudly in his presence. It makes petting him a lot less fraught with danger though, and he seems to be taking it in stride. Poor guy!
Also: I got my jury summons. I hope I don't get called in, and if I do, I hope I don't get picked, and if I do, I hope it's an interesting case at least.
My sisters have banished me from the living room so I won't jinx the Laker's game. It's ridiculously sad, and true; the last Laker's game I watched and they won, was in '96. And so I hie me and my bad luck far from televised games. Which is sad because I really love the Laker boys ;________; My sisters, they sound like they're having so much fun.
