Think of this as more of a teaser… hopefully, details will come later. But in short: airing right now are the GLAAD Media Awards, which I hope you all are watching. A friend of mine was able to score some tickets, and I got to go in one of the box seats! I’ll tell ya, it was great to see, and a whole lotta fun. Great to see on TV, and very fun to see live.
Just returned from Spring Break vacation with Sam. Did mostly nerdy amusement park/roller coaster things, since we are both geeks about it. It was supposed to rain non stop the entire time, but in fact it only rained about a day and a half, so it wasn’t too bad! And most of the rides stayed open, even with the inclement weather. So that was nice! Sam also surprised me with a seaside hotel in Santa Cruz with an ocean view. Quite lovely! The climax (in many senses of the word) was a stay at the infamous Madonna Inn.
For those of you who don’t know about this central California classic, it’s a hotel that delights in the tacky and over the top (although they will call it extravagant and opulent). Check it out at www.madonnainn.com, and see the “109 unique rooms” for yourself. We got one of the imperative “rock rooms” with a rock waterfall shower. It has to be seen to be believed. And you could say that I kept Sam, well, “preoccupied” during our stay there, involving lots of Saran Wrap, duct tape, rope, CBT, and clamps on the nipples. Ah, memories.
Unfortunately, it’s now getting back to work time. Hopefully, I’ll get to write a few more details later. Believe it or not, but I also will be going to Vegas shortly… although this is more work related (really–I’m going to have very little time free time there). So the franticness doesn’t yet end!
