August 19997 Aug Fly to San Diego Checked out Sea World, and got quite a bit of sun. C'est la vie. 8 Aug Visited San Diego Zoo and Reuben H Fleet Science Center Once again, I was in for a fair bit of sun. The zoo was excellent. The Science Centre less so. 11 Aug Return from San Diego The other big thing of the day is that I finished Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged." What did I think of it? Well, I found it contrived, petty, with exceedingly two-dimensional characters, and a plot that could not convincingly defend the philosophy being presented. This is not to say that I won't try out her other writings. And once again, Pandora's Box has it's final night at Masquerade. This provides an opportunity to catch up with people that haven't been out in a while, and to remember the great times at both Masquerade and Sol. Some pictures are in order... Mary, Skippy Will, Bria, Scott 12 Aug Bought Borland C++ Builder 4 and SAM's C++ Unleashed 15 Aug Blackout A.D. - Faith and the Muse, Judith and Changelings at Masquerade. Great show. 20 Aug Snow's Halloween Party 24 Aug? Atari Teenage Riot at Masquerade. 25 Aug Stacy... Tonight was going to be my first night at MJQ's britpop night. It was, but that is only part of the tale. The evening started innocently enough at the Local, drinking beers and chatting with Daniel and Rebecca. Sitting at the other end of the bar was a trio of young ladies. After a blur of shots and beers, I found myself talking to one of these ladies - Stacy. Later, we went up to MJQ together and I spent the next several hours bouncing around the club to some of the best Britpop I've heard in a while. Daniel and Rebecca also turn up after they close up the Local After the club closes, I walk Stacy home and we spend the next couple of hours drinking beer and chatting. It seems that Stacy is everything I like in a woman - attractive, intelligent, has goals, has opinions. Eventually, Stacy drives me back to my car so that we can each get some sleep. It's a pity that this doesn't work out... 26 Aug Mike McCallin arrives from UK. Brings boots. We go to the Local and rack up a $200+ tab. Lauren, Bria, John also make an appearance. 27 Aug I think we spent today recovering from last night... 28 Aug Secret Room at Fusion! Mike and I get a taxi to the club after knowcking back a fair bit of the Pineapple Finlandia that Mike brought over. We all continue to get rather merry, and Russ gives a life home, via Denny's. Lauren fails to turn up to Denny's - it appears she had a better offer... 31 Aug High Museum with Mike Mike returns to the UK |
