Traffic for 2005 July 30

I had to work 6-11 this morning so I could have the rest of the day off at Disneyland for my 2nd anniversary. It was pretty hot, but we had fun. We got to go on the new and improved Space Mountain, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We also went on the Sun Ferris Wheel, which is really neat. I don't know how to describe it, but your gondola is on rockers and moves. That part freaks you out so much that you don't even notice how high you are! We also hit such classics as Matterhorn, Splash Mountain, and the newcomer Mullholland Madness.

Instead of parking in the Mickey and Friends parking structure, we got tricked into the Lion King parking structure. It was a joke. We had to walk a good mile to the park (no shuttle) and my car had to sit in the sun all day. The Timon lot has a shuttle, but alas, we were in the Pumba lot. Such is Pumba's lot in life, I suppose.

This week I get to go to an Angels game with a client, and the next CPA exam is looming over me in two weeks. The temple open house is in three weeks, and Disneyland comes whenever we can fit it in.

I read Chapter 26 of HP 6 tonight; no turning point my eye. Sure it's interesting; but a little self-control and life outside of the wizarding world pulled me back out of it. I'll probably finish it this week. I am thoroughly enjoying it, and have some interesting theories. One I told to Susie, and she was impressed I thought of it on my own.

Pet peeve alert: people who don't respond to email questions. Without going into a whole lengthy thing, it is a valid mode of communication that deserves respect. I've had a few people lately decide that my questions/concerns to them are apparently not important enough to require an answer. Why? Beats me. Even an email saying you don't know the answer/don't want to hear from me again would be better than the silence I face in the form of an empty inbox. That said, I'm going to bed.
