My neighbor plays the drums. Whoever is playing is actually pretty good, but the houses are so close together and there's no way to shut out the noise.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
ita, you're a soda fiend, right? I was thinking of you today -- there's a soda shop in Pasadena with Izze, Ting, etc. Hundreds of bottles with different flavors. [link]

And there's a Rocket Fizz in Burbank too. Also, bon, happy early bday!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not a soda fiend, I'm a...huh, maybe I am. Fruity unsweet fizzy drinks for the win. Which reminds me, I need to go to my local BevMo and whine. The one near work hasn't even had any Ting in forever. They say they should...sometime. Pfft.

I'm watching "Love Comes Softly" on Hallmark. I'm not sure how much longer I can watch this, though. It's set in the old west. I'm not sure exactly what time period, but there are homesteaders. I don't even know all that much about the time period, but I spotted probably 20 inaccuracies within the first five minutes or so. Starting with the lack of sunbonnets, and going on through people talking about how fabulous it will be that they can grow their own food, and just every single thing that these people are saying about why they're going west are totally modern back-to-the-land things that just made no sense in the 1800s.

Thanks, kat! It was all right -- I think not as well-thought out as I would have liked. The obstacles were all bunched up at the beginning in front of the Rose Bowl, then you had to run 3 miles around the golf course behind the Rose Bowl, then do the obstacles again. And the mud was more like water over gravel. Plus I had this mysterious and severe diaphragm cramp from beginning to end. Blergh. But we walked around old town Pasadena, which Bob had never seen before, and he was pretty enchanted.

I saw the course map and was confused because there were only two obstacles not all together, right? And I didn't see the other ones until I zoomed in on the map.
Glad Bob liked Old Town. It's pretty charming.

Yeah, they had three obstacles on the map outside the Rose Bowl, but ended up taking two of those out. I think I'd do a mud run again, but maybe something a little more organized, like Camp Pendleton.
