The fries were nothing new. They have that poo poo in Indiana. The burrito was awesome though.

We're doing Hollywood mostly i guess and not LA as that's what she wanted most out of the trip.

Just got back to the hotel, we walked through the edge of downtown after dark and the homeless are everywhere. And we're told it's unnaturally cold righ now so everyone is suffering. This city is breaking my goddamn heart.

Isn't the BP pretty much black Trump? Wakanda is extremely isolationist, has a big gently caress off cloaking shield around it "protecting" it from everyone else and pretty much says "gently caress everyone else" until his country is threatened. It's been years since I read the comics, so I could be wrong.

Nah, he is cool and good and doesnt have poo poo hair.

I'm not gonna lie. So far California sucks. We have racism back home and they don't loving pussyfoot around with it. They dress up like loving ghosts and poo poo. Step up your game California.

We also don't cry like loving babies when it's cold. I have lost track of the number of grown rear end people throwing little fits in public because of the chill. We just had the entire patio to ourselves because of the wind.

Maybe there will be an earthquake to liven this poo poo up.



LoL, no. This has been a great time. SD really reminded me of Chicago, just how its laid out and the proximity to water. Decent transit system as well. Also the homeless stuff i have mentioned.

Anaheim thus far is all hotels and buses. Disneyland tomorrow. Then off to some haunted boat.

We haven't even gotten to LA yet!

Also we did not rent a car for this trip. I wanted to sightsee, not worry about rear end in a top hat drivers.

We're here til Wednesday, still a lot to do.

But for real, none of the food has been special yet. Carne asada fries? You can get that ahit anywhere in the midwest.

My wife gives no shits about cars so we're not doing a lot if car poo poo. Cars & Coffee in Monterey on Saturday is the main thing.

Elaborate. Goons on FB told me i had to drive from SD to Anaheim or I'd regret it. Well the trip was slow, frequently stopped and the highway was jammed with lovely drivers.

San Diego didn't require a car and we saw most of downtown and balboa park. We made it to Old Town and Ocean Beach without a car.

Goons again told me that LA is a huge shithole and to avoid it. Ditto for Hollywood.

See this is the problem with traveling, some peolme think what they like about a city is all that matters. I want to see cool rear end old buildings, walk around and sightsee with my wife and not worry about driving. And also eat pizza every day.

I could see Disneyland getting old if you lived close enough to go more than once a year but man, i had a great time and I don't even like Disney or theme parks in general.

Thanks to some PM advice we hit the popular stuff early and knocked out the older rides as the day went on. Even some of those older ones whipped my butt.

We got tacos in LB at another goon suggested place. They were excellent.

I doubt we will have time for the Comedy Store we have a full slate now that we're doing the Peterson.

So the Queen Mary is friggin awesome. Only bummer is a private event closed off half a deck and since this is the off season the top decks are a bit dirty and under renovations. Still, the view is bonkers. We got a bigass room here and it rules.

She worked in a seafood joint for much of her teenage years. I have seen her gag when i eat cocktail shrimp.

I dont like a lot of foods so i dont eat them, not even when on vacation.
