Like I was going to do any organizing.
Here's some pics of the trip to Houston, cut for your enjoyment.
First is the
Forbidden Gardens. It's a scale reproduction of the Forbidden City in China. There is also a scale reproduction of the terra cotta warriors of the First Emporer's Tomb.
Terra Cotta Warriors. I bought one in the gift shop, it's pretty, um, short. No really, it's pretty cool.
Here's a close up shot of the main section of the Forbidden City model. The biggest building in this picture is about 5 1/2 feet tall.
Our swank ass hotel room. We got a room on the 15th floor. It was a cool hotel,
Hotel Derek.
This pic of the bathroom proves just how swank ass it really was. This may or may not be New-York-City-swank, but it was a nice suprise.
The view from our window. It's actually a much larger view, but I was zooming in on that phallic building in the center.
The view like an hour later when the hurricane was hitting the Texas coastline.
I've got more but you've been good so I'll spare you.
