Charo is on season 3 of the Surreal Life on VH-1. I have never seen the show, but I had to watch the premiere episode. It actually was pretty funny. Looks like Brigitte and Flava Flav are getting most of the air time, but Charo still holds her own. It will be interesting to see how it progresses over the next few weeks. You can…
September 5, 2004This summer has been exceptionally slow at the park, but even the moderately busy days are coming to an end. After Labor Day, we go back to the 10-8 schedule, and CMs all over the park go scrambling for hours. The first week of the reduced hours schedule has been good to me (not as many lead shifts as I’d like, but at least the…
August 29, 2004I have been working on a web site for Haim for a while now. It is slow going, but I think the light at the end of the tunnel is approaching. Something unexpected that has come out of this is that I found an awesome tool for finding fonts. I was trying to recreate a logo that the company had used, and I had searched…
August 23, 2004I finally got around to updating the captions to my Tokyo Disney Resort photos. Now all I need to do is finish those pesky Animal Kingdom ones from 2003. I’m also in the process of upgrading my four installs of gallery to version 1.4.4. I’ve finished the Club House and the Disneyland Paris galleries – I just have the Gorn and Trip Diaries galleries to…
August 22, 2004I can finally report on what I have been anticipating at work. I applied for a program at the company called Emerging Leaders. Basically, it is a program designed to develop the next generation of leaders at the park by getting them enrolled in classes and preparing you to move up to the next level of management. I went into the process with zero expectations…
August 18, 2004The big celebrity sighting at the park this week was Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones at the Pooh ride. They were there with one of their kids who was celebrating his birthday. All the CMs at the ride mentioned how nice they both were while they were on the ride. When they exited I thanked them both for riding and told them to have a…
August 14, 2004I’m enjoying some rare day shifts lately, and it’s quite nice to get home before it is dark. It is weird seeing all these people out and about though. Don’t they have jobs? Wait, they are all getting home. Ok that makes sense. As I mentioned previously, I am nervously and anxiously awaiting something at work. I really don’t want to go into great detail…
August 8, 2004As some of you might have noticed, I finally changed the main page image. Well, I wanted to post another picture of the Columbia that I took in the Gallery I have for Disneyland NO/CC pics. Well, it turns out some of my galleries are hosed and I needed to upgrade to v1.4.4 to fix it. So after some behind the scenes work, I managed…
August 5, 2004A few years ago, the Social Security Administration started sending out yearly summaries of how much money you have made and how much you have contributed to Social Security. I think this is pretty cool, but lord knows how much it costs to send it out. I was fascinated to note that last year I made roughly the same amount as I did in 1997.…
August 2, 2004I had taken a wee bit of a break in posting. Not for any particular reason mind you – it sort of just happened. After writing that things were nice and lazy, it picked up without warning and I felt a bit overwhelmed by it all and just retreated for a bit. I mentioned before that I was working on a website for Haim, and…
