Caving.

I've mentioned the horns and the tail. I've mentioned the metric buttload of extra activity shoved into my schedule and assumed to be Just Fine and SMILE.

I don't talk about the amount of $$$ that leaves the building this time of year in addition. Yanno.

I'm not refusing, mind you. I'm not leaving anything out in the breeze. It's considerably better than in year's past, to be honest.

But damn, I haven't got another five bucks for anyone's Paypal drive. Nobody's. Seriously.

I just gave in and reserved the extra table with the rental place. $65, roughly vs. $164 and some shipping. The $100 is mattering THAT much right now. (Shipping likely another hundred, who am I kidding....)

Every year, the same demands. Every year, the same thing. You'd think I'd learn by now to get these purchases made some other time of the year. Like, May or something.

*facesmacks*

That said, Barry Manilow is coming back to Los Angeles for a concert at the Staples Center on Valentine's Day. Cheapest seats were ten bucks a pop...were not spectacularly worse than ones three times as much (bring the binoculars, so what else is new)...and they wanted MORE in service charges and parking that the tickets were!

UH. *bought tickets, curses Ticketmaster* I'm taking the metro in. Screw the parking all to hell and breakfast.

By then, maybe I'll have other plans surrounding that. ^^ Proximity to Little Tokyo and all.

Excuse me, but I gotta go find me a turkey and some trimmings. I'd like two paychecks right now. That would solve everything. Maybe.

I've still got to decide if I want to get tickets to Peter, Paul and Mary in OC sometime in April or May. They are pricey, but with Mary's health problems, this could be the last time they are out as a group (we go see Tom Paxton at McCabes on 12/2).

murphymom called me last night to let me know our tickets for Barry and Brian Boitano next month had shown up. I still haven't broken it to her that we're taking the train, 'cause like HELL am I trying to park at PacBell SBC AT&T Park.

:D

I really am looking forward to the event, too, even if I am a little skeptical about the venue (I mean, I love going to baseball games there, but I'm trying to picture the rink as they've got it displayed on the ticket page, and it's just not happening).

Correction: It's in March.

Actually, I was going to ask you whether BART or the train would be better, 'cause, after 6 moths at GGU, like hell am I gonna try parking ANYWHERE in San Frickincisco.

The park is literally across the street (and a block over) from the 4th & King train station. BART doesn't come anywhere near that part of town.
