It’s Mandel’s Birthday, and since he is a game show fan, I sat down to watch the 30th anniversary special of the Price is Right. I was a bit disappointed with the show to be honest. I expected the tuxedos and a few more clips from the past. Even the prizes really were not that much higher than what is on the daytime show these…
February 1, 2002Nathan’s CD – The Nathannual 2001 arrived from Paris this weekend, and it has been playing non-stop in my car ever since. My favorite tracks are Don’t Stop Movin’ by S Club 7 and the Price is Right Techno Mix. Kudos for Nathan and his friend Dustin for putting out a great CD. Finally went out to see Lord of the Rings. I am not…
January 28, 2002Its been a busy week. Last weekend, it was off to San Diego for an impromptu visit. Thanks to Roger and Alex’s negotiating skills, they managed to score a 2 bedroom suite with a kitchen for a mere $139. It was in an older apartment building turned hotel that was actually very nice and located right next to Balboa Park. San Diego is a nice…
January 24, 2002After much development, the newly revised Disneyland Paris Photo Collection is here. Mega-kudos to Scott and Debbie for providing me with an additional 77 pictures to expand the site. I still want to get back there myself and take some more pictures and ride the rides to compare to the rides I operate. I had a chance to catch a few movies over the last…
January 18, 2002It’s Charo’s Birthday! Everyone go out and cuchi-cuchi. Celebrity sighting today at the park: Shannen Doherty. It is nice to see celebs with kids just chilling out and having fun like the rest of us. She was trying to keep a low profile, but I did think it was fun to tell the kids that were with her to make sure that they stayed behind…
January 15, 2002Today is my grandmother’s 80th birthday. The event was celebrated by a jaunt to my dad’s favorite Italian restaurant, Petrillo’s. The food, especially the pizza, is pretty good. My grandmother is in great shape for 80 – she goes to the gym every day, watches what she eats, and still manages to get around pretty good. Our discussions turned to family history and talked over…
January 10, 2002To that small child somewhere out in the world who sneezed and got boogers all over me: I hate you. Sure it was cute, but I am once again sick. I was just getting over a cold right around Christmas and sure enough, I got assaulted at the Tea Cups by this small child and his cold. Oh well. I have been feeling crummy for…
January 9, 2002I finally got around to splitting the Daily Update archives on the PDA site into years. I have been meaning to do it sooner, but it really was not an issue. However with the start of another year, I figured why not – plus it would save me down the road. Right smack dab in the middle of the Christmas Fantasy parade at DL, while…
January 4, 2002For the ninth time in my life I rung in the new year at Disneyland. This year was my first working there. It was a bit weird to start work at 9pm and get off work at 4am. Once I was in the groove working I really didn’t mind. I think it helped that I had rested up before hand. Celebrity sighting of the night:…
January 1, 2002Well it is that time of the year again. I have finally gone through the entire site and replaced all the copyrights with an SSI so I don’t have to update each page every year. Looking at some of the photo galleries, I realized that most of the photo detail pages don’t have copyrights. I decided “uh that’s ok!” because it will be a daunting…
