   If I take my carmovehicle, I can leave for Vegas and from Vegas whenever I happen to feel like it. I believe parking at our hotel is free (I'll check on that in the morning). Also packing is easier because I can put whatever I feel like in my trunk.
   If I take Greyhound I have to find parking in Anaheim or Santa Ana (the closest stations) and hope its free or not too expensive, bus apparently takes 7 hours to traverse the 272 miles that google says should take my car 4 hours; and then it deposits me five miles from my hotel and I gotta taxi it up I guess.
   Bus fare is $85 "standard" fare or $56 "casino" fare (I can't for the life of me figure out what makes casino fare casino fare). I think driving might actually be more expensive in gas.

   Actually I think writing out the pros and cons has convinced me of which route to go, but heck, I've already written this, may as well post. (=

   Anyway, I loathe Vegas with a passion, but its the AMWEST Model UN conference there this weekend and I'm going with team Northern Arizona University (NAU) and its gonna be awesome! (=



   In unrelated news, I think every girl I've talked to in my French class is taking dance classes. A.Wall, Devon, girl that sits in front of me, avant-gard-fashion-girl, and most unexpectly this punkish girl Ashleigh who's hardly ever there and I pointed out to her all the other girls were dancers thinking she'd think it was weird too but she was like "yeah so do I."
   Silly JC kids, still trying to live the dream.

I found a good map of the local fire here, which I believe is as-of today. Note that I commute to work from appx Mission Viejo up the 405 to around the 55 and 405 (you may have to scroll left to see that area but you don't need to zoom in) -- basically the fire extends the entire length of my morning commute!! d=

And no word on it being any more than "30% contained." Its getting a bit scary. /=


*** EDIT 13:49 ***
"Why are all the big doors between sections of office closing?"
"Fire alarm"
"We're havign a fire alarm, now??"
"Yes"
"You'd think you'd hear something"
"Yeah, I don't know."
"Is this just a drill?"
"Probably"
"But it might not be? Who has a fire drill NOW??" .......

So I dunno, my building may in fact be on fire.


*** Okay it is further explained to me that "these doors will automatically close if there is a fire anywhere in the building. However, each floor is self contained and we will only be evacuated if there is fire either on the floor directly above or below us." Brilliant.
