It's the first-ever International Talk Like William Shatner Day!

Well, I'm back.

Sun: Got an awesome tattoo from Misha, and met infAMY and her friends to eat Thai food and see The Reverend Horton Heat. My ticket, purchased from a scalper, was cheaper than anybody else in the party's.

Mon: Cruised LA's Chinatown, then LA's Japantown (mostly closed by then). Met Misha and Morningstar and ate unconventional parts of chickens.

Tues: Disneyland. Matterhorn was...

I got to L.A. around 5pm. Took a short nap, figured I'd spend the evening wandering Chinatown. On my way to dinner, I discovered that Chinatown's retail element shuts down around 6pm on a Saturday. You've let me down, L.A.

I think it was joy.

It's ALIVE!! Muahahaha!

That is, I fixed my PC. My video card went kaput. I went ahead and upgraded, so now it's harder better faster stronger.

Well, today is lame. But in a frustrating way, not a depressing way. Which is to say that my PC has some kind of hardware failure that I'm not inclined to fight with tonight.
