adamturtle.com is almost 1 year old
I just got my bill in from my web host which means that in exactly 1 month it’ll be a year since I got this site up and running. Just while I’m on the subject, if you’re looking for a cheap, reliable web host then I highly recommend Big Wet Fish. They’re not flawless and I have minor issue from time to time but they’re customer support is superb and I’ve never had to wait more than 1 hour for a reply from their support team. Usually the reply comes with the problem fixed. And problems are few and far between…

How Adam spent Thanksgiving
Ah my first Thanksgiving. What a pointless holiday.
On Wednesday I did as I planned and spent the whole day in the AMC Theatre on Van Ness, having lunch at Mel’s Drive-In first, of course (steak and eggs plus all you can eat toast…all for the bargain price of $7.95? Beat that Nobel Cafe!). I wasn’t nearly as tired at the end of it as I thought I’d be. Either way, here’s my brief movie reviews for each movie…

Happy Thanksgiving!
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day, and I have to work. The excuse given is that Thanksgiving is a time to see family, and since I have no family to see I’m the unfortunate candidate for working. At least I only have to answer my cell phone, I won’t be coming into the office.
I have no big plans for Thanksgiving so far. I think some people where I live will be cooking a turkey and we’ll just have a small-ish party but not sure what else will be happening. It’s the day that Americans consume the most food in the year, it even outdoes Christmas…

My Tuesday
I can’t remember if I mentioned it before, but I only get one day off a week. If it were Saturday, or Sunday, that would be fine and I could enjoy it. Last week it was Tuesday, and this week – the same.
Last week I knew I’d be bored as my friends are either working or at school every day, so I went on my company’s wine country tour. It was fine, a good way to waste a day. Yesterday I wasn’t sure what I was going to do, but instead I decided to go to Yosemite National Park…again.
This time wasn’t so bad though…

Gavin Newsom re-elected
I’m going to go into something now that I usuall stay far away from. Politics. The only reason I bring this is up is because our mayor, the baby-faced Gavin Newsom, has successfully won a second term in office as mayor of San Francisco.
This is the offender:
Rodrigo met him once. He said he was slick, polished and a real crowd pleaser. This is what’s wrong with America. He’s in his forties I think but he looks good for his age so he gets the votes…

2000 miles later…
It’s been a week since I got back from my roadtrip, so I guess I should share some photos. In fact, I took so many that I had to open a Flickr account. Here’s a slideshow of some pictures:

The whole trip was basically awesome. Far, far too much driving but worth it in the end. The first day was by far the worst with the running-out-of-gas incident, but the rest of the trip more than made up for it…
