I know, I know. Shut up, Marnie. You live in San Diego, for goodness sake. You can take a little cloud cover.

I know that's what you are thinking after reading the title of this post and you are right. No one in San Diego should complain. And yet everyone is. A lot. We have been having our annual June Gloom for the past couple of weeks with almost constant cloud cover. The other day I was watching the morning news before leaving for work and I caught the forecast on NBC 7/39. I've never seen a weatherman look so depressed when he told us that (say this in your best Eeyore voice), "The whole weekend is going to be cloudy. Everywhere. No sun for us. Just stay inside. It's not worth it." Some creative liberty was taken there but I promise, it was enough to make me laugh. I'm hoping this weekend will be a bit better. I'm ready for summer time trips to parks, beaches and hikes.

This week has been pretty uneventful. Friends out of town + friends still in classes + full-time work + gloomy weather = Marnie going home after a full day of work, going to the gym (most days) and then in for the night usually consisting of some show like So You Think You Can Dance or similar.

However, last weekend I did go see Up with a couple friends. I really liked it. Not as funny as I thought it would be (had heard it was the funniest Pixar movie to date - definitely not) but the animation was great (as expected from Pixar), the story was really strong and overall it was enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it to everyone -- kids and adults. And I saw it in 3D, which was great, but I think this is a movie that you can see without the 3D, get the same experience and save yourself a couple dollars.

I also found out this week that my favorite band, Muse, will be playing a show in Oslo in October...while I am there!! I am pretty dang excited because I have never seen them live and I don't think they'll be back in the States to tour for another year or so. And I'm also excited to go to a rock concert in Oslo - see what it's like. :)

And as I'm sure you all know cause I'm pretty sure everyone that reads this is my friend on Facebook and I keep talking about this...I am stoked about the new
Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. I think he is really settling in nicely and last night's show was hilarious - especially the "
In the Year 3000" sketch. I am especially excited cause I get to go to the show in two weeks to be in the audience! (I bet you thought I was going to say that I was the special guest..haha, silly, that's next year.) I always wanted to see the show when it was in NYC but, of course, never got the opportunity. So as soon as I could, my friends and I put in for tickets to his show in LA and we got 'em! So excited.
Alright, so was that post topical enough for you?? Not much other news from me - working, training new girl at my office who will be taking my spot when I leave and getting various tasks done for the big trip in two months. Two months. Wow.
Looks like last weekend was a lot of fun on the boat. Can't wait to join in with everyone in a few weeks!
I am most excited about your trip to Norway because I'll have to care for and get to know Remus better. I know he'll be lonely for you but I'll take good care of him.. He'll be so happy to see you when you return. Dad, the professional driver.
