HI!!!!! Back from a week long stint on the other side of the country. Since cubbi showed some of the pics all ready I'll tell the whole story. 1. I HATE FLYING!!!! its too scary for me for some reason, and I have flown before, guess I really do need those wings on my character now :p That out of the way we first went to the winchester manor (after sleeping in a hotel room with a jacuzzi and having an airline steward notice my Think! tee shirt) basically its as demented as they say that house is, small steps, hidden doorways and no I didn't see a ghost, sorry. Next we went to the big cat rescue that cubbi wanted to see again and saw cute little baby fishing cats, one of whom remined me of pete in the way he was trying to escape the cage. There was also a panther and a tiger, both of home sprayed people (haha) and a gopher snake that was being mean and picking on the poor kitties. Not to mention a lot of peacocks in the place too and silly big cats hidding in boxes and bags and ripping up phone books. I got a new tee shirt there too so YAY! After that we went on a one hour tour of a santa cruz island where we saw common and bottle nose dolphins and a califorina sea otter. Then in a mustang convertable we headed to the promnande where me met our first refuge from new york who asked us mother's day questions for a show he was making and I was the first to give him a real answer to one of his questions :D

Well we then drove to the desert in our mustang, top down most of the trip btw with joshua trees, an awsome sunset and a very lovely ride to the world's largest thermometer and bob's big boy for a burger and diet dr pepper for me (seems like california is a dr pepper state YAY!) It was hard to get that stuff in vegas thought so nya on that

Well we stayed at the luxor in vegas, which basically looked like a becon for aliens. We got attacked by the evil time share people (and wasted their time for free stuff hehe) we also got free tickets from a couple of drunk dudes to the worlds greatest magic show while I was playing the greatest video slot machine ever HEXBREAKER, why is it the greatest you ask? cause it has a KITTY NAMED HOODOO as its mascot that's why!!!! and that day people where noticing my lost my mind tee shirt hehe and we met about three more new york escapies, also we went on the haunted vegas tour and you saw one of the pics, no ghosts, sorry, though the dude hosting it was an ex mortcian and had some cool stories about the luxor I'll tell later in this post with some other random tales I got, along with some divining/dousing rods, and some crazy old ladies from sacromento lauging it up and having a good time (and calling the rods anal probs) but on the penn and teller, who kicked ass and we got their autographs, and both are very nice hehe. We also saw carrot top and this topless show called fantasy (meh on fantasy, although this one tina turner impersonator was very cool, go just for her) We saw the Imax thing lions 3-d where another woman noticed my new feline sancutary tee and from that deduced correctly I was a cat person we then saw ka, which had people from the las vegas loony bin working there I swear, oh and if you go, look over the stage (there is a walkway then a pit for the actors, the walkway is raised a bit and you sit behind it) you are in for a treat but I won't tell you what happens, they had some dude playing an artist wandering around, also when me and cubbi where seated we were told we got the suntan seats, which ment we where close enough to the stage to feel the puffs of fire spewing out every so often (talk about a hot seat) and the show itself was cool too, and after that we got to play with a lion cub (awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww)

Going back we had a Guy from Utah pay for our cab cause we let him share a cab with us (yay) a cookie to who ever guesses this kind person's name in the comments. (hint: it was very masculine) The plane we took too and from was jet blue, which I happen to like now cause dispite the delaying thing they do, they give free snacks and drinks and have a tv with some good channels to watch for free as well, oh and seeing a lightning storm from above is awsome btw

After all that, here are the five tales, one is a joke/story the steward on the way to californa told us, the other three are ghost stories of the luxor and one is a story of a major fu to parents from a teen :D

1. A psycology professor had a big jar, some ping pong balls, pebbles and sand, along with two beers at his desk, he showed the jar to the students and asked if it was empty, save the air in the jar obviously yes it was empty, well he then put the ping pong balls in, then the pebbles, then the sand, then the beers, each time asking if the jar was full after each time was put in and each time the students saying yes, well then the professor explained was he was showing

"the ping pong balls are the big things in your life, family, friends, loved ones, the pebbles are the smaller but still important things, job, car, house.. and the sand is the very small stuff, dating, repairing minor things, ect if we filled the jar with just sand, nothing else would fit, so for one night go out with friends, or a loved one, have a good time, the little things will handle themselves, then a student asked "what was the beer for?" the professer replyed "well even with the small stuff there is always room for a couple of beers"

2. The luxor used to have a nile river ride, but apparently there where ghosts in the tunnel, three guys that got splated by a falling wall, so because of the hystaria people running out of the tunnel screaming would have caused, the ride got closed down (which is sad cause I like boat rides) now every so often they are seen walking around and going through a wall

3. There was a man in the luxor who must of had a bad stay or something cause he jumped off the tenth floor and into where the express check out used to be (good aim huh?) his ghost is on the tenth floor annoying people with a cold spot

4. On the 26 floor, there was a prostatute who had aids, who jumped off into the buffet, and splatted all over the place, so they had to get a hazmat team in there, she now likes to flick people's ears as a ghost

5. On the stratusphere tower hotel, A teen got into an argument with his parents, climbed to the edge of the tower, smiled and jumped off (I don't know if he gave the finger or not but that would have made it funnier and sicker)

welp that is all I have to say for now except see you on the 12
