One of the best perks of working at the park is that it is also the same place we hold our company Holiday party. I’m sure its a bigger perk for people who work at ABC or at the Studios, but even on my fourth holiday party, I still enjoy it. This year’s event was a bit wet as there was a light drizzle the…
December 8, 2004Well the weather had other plans for me other than backing the Columbia out today. Even though I called several times, I managed to make it all the way to work before I was told that it was canceled. Probably part of the reason I was being slow getting to work – I knew it was just a matter of time. Normally, I would be…
December 5, 2004Not much has been happening since I returned from Arizona. Yesterday, I went to a wedding for one of my friends from work’s daughter. The food was really good – which is always a surprise at a wedding. Thankfully there were three others from work who showed up so a good time was had by all. I’m really excited about tomorrow. After months of waiting,…
December 4, 2004This morning Mom and I were up at 5:30 ready to hit the major stores. Our first target was Best Buy, which was advertising a $499 Toshiba laptop. Of all the cheapo laptops that were being advertised, this one was deemed the one to get. Unfortunately, everyone else in Phoenix felt the same way. When we arrived at 5:45, the line was already around the…
November 26, 2004Well I am in Arizona at Mom and Gary’s for the annual indulgence of food and shopping. This time, I decided to fly out of Ontario. Man, flying to Phoenix from the Inland Empire just isn’t worth it. It started out around 3pm when I was finishing up packing. I was lucky to be ER’ed today so I could get a jump on the traffic.…
November 25, 2004Well I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to the new version of Movable Type. So far so good. The biggest change is that now if you want to post a comment you need to be registered with Typepad. Hopefully, the spammers will be gone. If not, the new version has much more powerful tools for editing the comments as well as better compatibility with…
November 22, 2004It’s time to get caught up on a few movies that have come my way recently: The Incredibles: It is a testament to an animated movie that when you are watching it, you forget you are watching animation. Not a perfect movie, but darn near close. I was surprised that it felt more adult than the normal Pixar movie, but personally, I like the fact…
November 21, 2004Until I upgrade to MT 3.x, all forms to post comments are gone from the site. Been busy with Comment Spammers and have had over 200 in the last few weeks. Sorry guys, but thanks for all the previous comments.
November 13, 2004Here is some information on the quake Daniel and I lived through while in Tokyo. Perusing the web, it is interesting how much we didn’t know due to the lack of good information in English the first few days after the quake. Initial report in the Japan Times (I have the hardcopy I bought at Tokyo Station) Story about the people on the derailed shinkansen…
November 10, 2004Been fighting off a bug. As usual when I get home from traveling, it takes me a bit to recover and get back into the swing of things. Its funny, I was fine until about Thursday and then it hit me. I’m feeling better today and should be back at full capacity tomorrow. I was all set to post the Gorn photos and then realized…
