Quick update for the bored and/or curious:

Mom indulged my ocean-liner fetish today by suggesting we go down to Long Beach and tour the Queen Mary, which has been permanently anchored and turned into a hotel. It was kinda cool, kinda cheesy, kinda sad -- I mean, one of the grand old ladies of the Atlantic basically turned into a tourist trap -- but I was glad we got to do it. Now I can say I've been on a "real" ocean liner. My favorite bits were the parts where I could look at the decks and stuff and picture what it really must have been like.

Sadly, as I've said to both Mom and [livejournal.com profile] atomicnumber51, it's pretty damn hard to be impressed with L.A. once you've been to San Francisco. Now that's a cool city. (Actually, as I was saying that to Natalia on the phone, Mom muttered something in the background about "it's hard to be impressed with L.A. after you've been to Nashville." Did I imagine that?)

We decided to rent a car and I have to say, I was really proud of how well Mom handled the traffic, especially considering the rental was a Saturn with no get-up-and-go. I was also pretty proud of myself for doing a decent job navigating despite a killer headache which made me a bitch on wheels. It SUCKS to be on vacation and have to spend a lot of money to do pretty much anything and then not feel well. After Tylenol and a nap, though, I am back to my charming self. Mom and I are having a really good time together. We're going to do some kind of city tour tomorrow.

Oh, the most squee!worthy moment so far was while we were being driven to the car-rental place and I saw one of those, umm, canals or something, and I'd swear it was the one they showed at the end of the Boomtown intro. I started squee!ing and motioning to Mom. Such a little thing, but I thought it was so cool. Damn I miss that show. Jeff Zucker should eat shit and die for all the great shows he's killed.

Well, should get back to Mom. Time for us to drink rum, I think. (Hee hee, I'm getting my mom drunk on vacation. This should be fun.)
