Today was pretty good. I headed out early to get lunch in Dublin with Morgan. This required that I get up unpleasantly early (for being on vacation), but it was the least I could do since she gave me a lovely slime controller. We rendezvoused at the huge Hacienda Crossings mall, which is actually the only group of structures besides houses in Dublin, as I discovered last year. Somehow we settled on going to FUDDRUCKERS. I had heard of them in the past but wasn't aware that they existed in California, so it was sort of a unique experience. It turned out to be a much better decision than we thought, since as we left out the back exit we were greeted by a thoroughly-hidden Q-Cup. I also executed Phase II of the Great SSX 3 Switch-off. So, all in all, it was a pleasant excursion, marred only by how long it took to fight through the post-Christmas traffic to get out of the parking lot, but I'll update about driving on that side of the bay later on.
