Bellagio fountains

TUS-Con 2 is this weekend, and even though I'm not really particularly upset that I couldn't go, it still made me nostalgic for TUS-Con 1, in Las Vegas a year ago, which was an awful lot of fun. I took a whole bunch of pictures of the fountains, and this is my favorite one. (The pictures are especially nice because you can't hear the Celine Dion song that they were blasting at you at the time.)

I keep getting e-mails from Expedia touting great 100th-anniversary specials to Las Vegas, and I am so, so tempted to get us tickets. But Rob would kill me. Besides, I spent almost $300 on my car today. (It wouldn't start, which turned out to have something to do with some kind of safety switch under the pedals, or something like that, so that was a very cheap fix. But I also got a C/V joint replaced while I was there - something I'd been putting off - and that was the expensive part.)



(More Las Vegas pictures here. Mostly of buildings and not of people, though, because I kept forgetting my camera at the times that the most people were around. Or turning unaccountably shy. One or the other. The back of Jette's and Debby's heads are in a few pictures, though. And maybe a sliver of Columbine here & there.)

Hee. A "sliver" of Columbine. It makes Col sound like a dessert. "Oh, no, I couldn't! Too rich and decadent for my blood. Well, perhaps just a sliver of Columbine...". Like flourless chocolate cake, I imagine. Rich, dark, sweet and bitter all at once.

If I were a dessert, I would probably be one of those stupid cookies studded with fake M&Ms. Or a lopsided Duncan Hines cake with canned frosting patching the sunken part in the middle. Well-intentioned, but poorly executed.

Sounds like Columbine for sure. :-)

Nice photos.

I just noticed you'd friended me so I have now friended you back. Pleased to meet you!
