Last weekend Thea and I went to visit Teppei. He's living in Las Vegas currently and, as such, was only six hours away. So, it was a little far to drive BUT, being from Michigan as we are, the drive was absolutely gorgeous. There were always mountains visible, sometimes we drove through the mountains, and it was our fist time to ever see a desert, too! For the small bit our journey took us through Arizona (SLC to Vegas is a straight shot down I-15), the highway followed a river that had carved it's way through the mountains. That was a wonderfully winding way, let me tell you. Check out this shot (I swear the road wasn't THAT steep...)
Vegas was nice, too! We went to the top of the Stratosphere Casino and took some pictures.
There are rides on top of the observation deck we were on, but we chose not to ride them (it was a bit too chilly for that). Perhaps someday, though - they had a roller coaster (sorta) that dangles off the top, a spinning octopus-type ride that angles 70 degrees off the top, and a poser tower type ride sticking out the very top. Very neat.Oh! I almost forgot! We ran into Patrick Stewart!! Yeah, and he wanted me to give him a kiss. He's kinda weird like that but, being the obliging fan of his I am, I decided to indulge him.
Thea happened upon George Burns, too! My has he ever aged gracefully...

Patrick Stewart does NOT look happy about the kissing thing. I have a feeling he didn't ask you to do that. You just did it. :-P

That's his happy face, I swear!
Part of the problem is that Patrick Stewart is carved out of oak. Now, I'm not saying that I don't think that's the real Patrick Stewart, cos I'm not. And I do. But watch him in anything--"TNG," "Jeffrey," "Men in Tights," nothing phases the man. Not even phasers.

that's the power of a solid shakespearean training. he's too busy trying to absorb elizabethan english to worry about his surroundings. besides. just because you can't detect joy on his face doesn't mean he's not aroused. wink, wink. nudge, nudge.
ooooOOOOOooooooo.....
George Burns!
You're SO lucky!
Allow me to add to the previous list of "Unphased-Patrick Stewart movies" TMNT. He can even be picked up and dissolved into cosmic space dust by powers beyond human (or turtle) ken with grace and dignity. How does he do it?
