Winter Break…belated

Let’s pretend I had this post written 2 weeks ago šŸ˜‰

Itā€™s been a super long time since I last wrote a blog post. That isnā€™t to say that I havenā€™t had time to…it just never feels like the right time. In my last post, I wrote about most of my Christmas Break. One of the few things I left out was seeing Avatar, twice (which still wasnā€™t enough), once in regular 3D and then the next day in IMAX 3D. Needless to say, Iā€™m obsessed with the movie. I even found a 30 page book on the Navi language, including Phonology and grammar rules. Itā€™s amazing to me that someone spent years of research and development to create a language for a movie! I guess it makes sense once youā€™ve seen the credits roll by twice; Iā€™m pretty sure thereā€™s several thousand names. I later found out that Avatar is literally the movie Pocahontas with different names and some insanely good graphics. Hereā€™s a link to the plot duplication, ahem…coincidence: http://bit.ly/7Yb7TS.

I also went to the San Diego International Auto Show over the break. I think Iā€™ve gone every year for the past four or so years, and thereā€™s always a surprising amount of change every year. Some cool feature cars were ones with solar panel roofs, the same Lamborghiniā€™s that never need to change because theyā€™re just that awesome, and the indoor jeep track was neat. Itā€™s entertaining to watch people freak out when the car theyā€™re driving is balancing on 3 wheels on a 45 degree left-right slope. They also had a section with about 20 Camaros covering over a 40 year span. One of my favorite ā€œvehiclesā€ was an off-road wheelchair with…tank tread! Iā€™ll try to write another post in the next couple days to cover our amazing snow days.

Here are a couple of pictures:
