The past few 4^th of July weekends for me have been quite boring, if not outright depressing. Well, that pattern will be broken tomorrow when Sophia and I fly to Las Vegas!

We will be there thru the 4^th, and returning early enough on the 5^th to get to work on time.

So yeah. Fun times.

I realize that I haven't been updating my blog as often as I use to, so I figured I would jot out a quick explanation. The reason is quite simple, really. After a long and mildly stressful day at work, sitting down and blogging about my recent events (like Las Vegas, or Comic Con), thoughts, or ideas is pretty low on the "things I feel like doing" list. This really sucks, because there are many things that I need to get out of my head before the memory fades.

We arrived at the Las Vegas Airport on July 2^nd at around 10am. The aircraft made a slightly harder-than-normal landing which seems to be the norm for Southwest Airlines these days. We waited for our bags to arrive at the carousel for half an hour. Once we had our luggage, we were ready to go.

Because it was so early in the day, we couldn't go to the hotel immediately---checkin wasn't until 3pm. So, we headed over to the strip to eat at Le Village buffet at the Paris.
