way you sing that makes me feel ill, your lyrics
confuse me, you and your thesis abuse my brain . . . after an
afternoon
with you my ears bleed red (jason mraz, after an afternoon of bad

Your music weighs on me as heavy as stone . . . I was just wondering
if
you'd come along to hold up my hair in the bathroom after I listen to
your
album . . . I'll do the same if the same's what you want . . . (DuMB,

so i'm trying to pick a place for us to stay next week, and it seems like hardly any of these hotels have indoor swimming pools -- i can't stay at a hotel where we can't go swimming -- that would just be stupid -- solveig has a lot of energy (as you can see in the post below) and i need to get that worked out of her someway or she is going to be spinning in circles in the hotel room
most all of these places have outdoor pools -- are these things actually open in the "winter season" -- i don't have any problem at all swimming in a heated outdoor pool as long as it is 60 degrees or warmer, but i have a feeling that texans have very different ideas than i on what "warm" and "cold" is -- anyone know if the dallas hotels keep their outdoor pools open?
update: yeah we're lame
after much moaning and gnashing of teeth, we've finally settled on where we are staying -- it worked out that the Holiday Inn DFW/car rental package through hotwire.com was by far the cheapest -- only $200 for four days! -- it's not as conveniant as other places i looked at, but its familiar and cheap -- that outdoor pool better be turned on, that's all i can say!
we'll be getting into Dallas on Thursday, December 8, 2005 at 2:15 p.m.; and we'll be leaving on Sunday, December 11, 2005 at 2:45 p.m.
we'll try to track down sarah and frank on thursday, go to the zoo friday, probably go to cinderella friday night (though i have to double check with maggie katzen on age appropriateness--solveig can be noisey!), see the grassy knoll on saturday morning, liveblog the wedding on saturday, and do who knows what on sunday morning -- then we'll leave, and i'll never return to dallas again!
