All in all everything went well. Not too much of the xmas stress. Now all we've been dealing with is the hordes of people that are descending upon Pasadena. The population swells around the new years time and every place you go is fuckin packed. I'm sure business in all the malls has been great.
We went to Paseo yesterday to go see something's got to give. We met my parents there and fought the crowds to get into the theater. Movie: hmmm, well it was good, but i'll bitch about Nancy Meyers's writing some other time. We got out of the movie and somebody suggested the Yard House. My comment at this time was "its not wether we'll get into the yard house or not, its wether we'll have to wait 2 hours or 3 hours. the wait was 2 hours, and my father just laughed. So after a little brawl we ended up at Mijares where we had a good time as always.
In other news. Michelle Francis (Andersen) is due to have a child in about 5 months. She's having a baby shower today before she takes off again for home on the east coast. Jen's going (and getting ready as i write). Tonight we're going to a party at the home of the Woods. So there will be a good time had with much discussion of California wines (and drinking of them too)
Finally one last note. Did all the fuckin spammers of the world get really smart in the last two days? I've gotten nothing but base64 encoded spam AND ALL OF IT GETS THROUGH. I've already configured my spam filter a little better, and added a couple more steps of checking, but i've gotta wonder if there will be a point release of Mac Mail in the next few weeks because of this. Its an obvious hole.
