So our team competed in the annual Minnie’s Moonlight Madness through Disneyland. We stumbled out of the gate due to some really poor acoustics in the Fantasyland Theater. I can’t imagine that the Snow White musical sounds very good at all. A good time was had by all – especially once we broke down and got Alex his cupcakes. we ended up 163 – a…
May 20, 2004Sunday I managed to pick up some extra OT on the Pooh ride. I started out at 10:30 am (after closing till 1am the night before) and ended up staying until 12 midnight. I didn’t mind, but it really zapped me. Today I was a walking zombie and when I got home crashed. I am fortifying myself with Emergen-C and Echinacea to ward off any…
May 17, 2004** / **** Dir: Wolfgang Petersen 2004 Color English Rated R for graphic violence and some sexuality/nudity. IMDB Site | Official Site This was like sitting through the entire 10 year siege of Troy. I haven’t suffered this much in a theater seat since that infamous 1997 Brad Pitt movie ‘Seven Years in Tibet’ which felt like I spent seven years in the movie theater.…
May 15, 2004It has been crazy-busy the last week with people coming into town and with my work schedule so I’ll do some quick mini-updates: A Wrinkle in Time was really good on ABC last Monday. It was true to the book and was great to see on the screen. The special effects were pretty weak, but if you were able to get past those and some…
May 13, 2004Late Thursday night, I caught part of Beverly Hills Cop 2 on T.V. and discovered the first time I had seen the vaunted “super-glue brings out the fingerprints” trick way back in 1987 when I first saw the movie. It is hard to believe that the technique (introduced by Axel Foley to Taggert and Rosewood as something that hadn’t trickled down to them yet) is…
May 8, 2004Finally making some headway on the redesign of the Trip Diaries section. I did hit a roadblock when I decided to add the names and links to hotels that I have stayed at on the many trips. I have Mom and Gary on the hunt for the name of the hotels in Brugge and in Venice to make sure I have the right ones. It…
May 5, 2004Honestly, I didn’t think it could get much worse, but part two was not nearly as fun as Part 1. To start with, it was almost an hour into the second part before there was more ground shaking. Not only that, but apparently they have super-sonic ways of traveling in this show because one moment they are in LA at the Disaster Center (which by…
May 4, 2004If you haven’t had a chance to watch this epic train wreck of a mini-series, tonight is the last chance you get. Part 2 of the disaster event airs tonight on NBC. I watched part 1 on TiVo last night and I couldn’t stop laughing at not only the bad acting, but also the bad NBC Science. I can only imagine the hordes of people…
May 3, 2004It seems like I am in a rut of being busy busy (as Jason likes to say). I had another one of the HP Core/Disney Work days on Friday and it always wipes me out. I’m the type of person who has a hard time concealing my feelings so when I was wiped out at work everyone was asking me if I was OK. Thankfully…
May 2, 2004Man has it been warm the last few days. Nothing really exciting has been going on, mainly due to the fact that I have been worn out working out in the sun. I am now entering a stretch of 7 consecutive days of work (thanks scheduling!) before another day off. Me thinks I am going to be super pooped. The worst part is that I…
