I was saving up to buy a Sony Cybershot (which nobody knew, by the way) and then for my birthday I got the exact camera I wanted, the Sony Cybershot, from Bruce. If he hadn't dropped a giveaway hint ("You can use it all weekend!") I would never in a million years have expected a digital camera! I don't even know what to say; I love it so much and I can't believe that he bought me something so extravagant.

On top of that, Bruce took us to Disneyland (giving himself a Magic-Kingdom-induced headache in the process) and cooked a phenomenal, earth-shattering dinner on Saturday night that ranks on the list of Top Five Meals I have ever eaten. I had a very, very, very excellent weekend.

And now, I'm going to stop talking and share some of the approximately ten zillion pictures I took this weekend.

Oh, by the way, as soon as I had filled up my 16 MB memory card with 90 or so photos, I had breakfast with Lucy, and she gave me my birthday gift: a 32 MB memory card! Muahahaha! (When I said ten zillion, I was exaggerating, but barely.)

And while I am bragging about birthday gifts, I also got Buffy Season Three from my sister (which of course I had been salivating for and which I am watching right now) along with an autographed photo of Joss Whedon himself. ("Look, he made the Q in my name really big. I think it means he loves me!")

Okay, this time I mean it. I am going to get on with it: My Weekend in Pictures. I apologize in advance.

This is the roller coaster at California Adventure. We got passes to both parks, because we are (see above) spoiled.

The guy in the Pluto suit is one of Bruce's friends. That's right, Pluto's a homosexual. Don't tell the kids.

Here I am with a big pile of pirate treasure. Arrgh!

Bruce and I have shrunk to miniature proportions! Aaaah!

These poor guys. "Bruce, let's go stand under the giant faucet! Ian, we need to get in the net of sardines!" "Mo, PUT THE CAMERA AWAY."

These are cups of colored alcohol. Happiest place on earth? Well, it is now!

This is a very MANLY pink drink, due to the fact that it contains all the alcohol in the world.

I was cold, so I had to buy this sweatshirt. And I was drunk, so I had to make this face.

I plied the boys with liquor and then forced them on a bread factory tour. Or so it would seem.

And now, Monique gets Randomly Artistic.

Creepy (yet Randomly Artistic) puppets on the Pinocchio ride.

This picture doesn't make any sense, does it? Fear me.

Okay, so that was Friday: Disneyland! We'll call this part one and then end it here, with more entries to follow. Because I have more pictures.

Oh yes I do.
