TodaylandI was watching the trailer for Meet the Robinsons and this shot in it made me laugh.
For those of you who don’t set foot in a Disney theme park (crazy!) that’s obviously Tomorrowland as you can clearly see Space Mountain to the right and to the Rocket Jets to the left, which is ironic since that attraction was taken out as explained at Yesterland.
Japanese toiletsI’ve decided that when I own a home I’m going to buy one of those Japanese toilets that sprays water on your ass and then dries it with warm air. That’s all. Thank you.
BOOOOM!*windows rattle* It’s not every day the space shuttle wakes you up.
Pumping itThis morning I stopped by a gas station to buy some car candy (ie. overpriced gas.) All the pumps were full so I just picked one and waited behind a lady who was filling up her car. Everything was progressing as normal until the car porn started. She was holding the gas pump and then suddently she started pulling it in and out slowly. In. Out. In. Pause. Out. Pause. In real quick. Out real quick. Again and again. I was giggling at the scene in front of me. It was obscene. And what did she do when she felt satisfied? I’m not making this up. She pulled out all the way and got juice all over her car. Just like in any good porn flick.
It was a matter of timeWhen will kid stars learn? [article]
Priorities
They’re baaaccckk……School buses. They are back. And I hate them. Hate them. hate them. These stupid things make my commute at least twice as long every morning when they are not running, like in the summer. They stop every six feet, and I’m not kidding. - Bus stops, blinking lights, stop sign comes out, 3 lanes of traffic come to a stop. - Bobbie decides that it is now time to put his back pack on just to climb on the bus, only to take it off again. - Bus drives six feet. - Bus stops, blinking lights, stop sign comes out, 3 lanes of traffic come to a stop. - Suzie is not there yet, but the drive knows she should be there. So the driver waits. And at least 50 cars wait, while more traffic builds up behind them. Intersections get blocked because people are stupid to drive through them when the traffic in front of them is not moving. Suzie finally comes out and boards the bus. - Bus drives six feet. - Bus stops, blinking lights, stop sign comes out, 3 lanes of traffic come to a stop. - Manuel sees the bus and takes a leisure stroll while the original 50 cars plus all the new cars wait once again for the bus to start moving. - Repeat several more times until the bus finally turns off the main road…… only to run into another bus a couple blocks further up. Why do these buses have to stop every six feet? What’s wrong with making Bobbie, Suzie and Manuel wait together in a central spot? They don’t need to cross any streets. And why can’t the parents make sure that the kid is out and ready to go before the school bus shows up? Maybe Suzie could get up 3 minutes earlier so that she can finish her bowl of Sugartits in time. Apparently I’m not the only way who feels this way. A quick Google search brought up this one guy who says the same things I just said. In fact, I found a whole forum discussion thread dedicated to this. My suggestions:
Spoiler free. Plot free: Lady in the WaterI’ve been a big M. Night Shyamalan fan. I love Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs and even The Village. So I was excited to see the teaser trailer for Lady in the water. It seemed interesting and mysterious. I tried my hardest to stay away from any kind of information about the movie because with this movies, it is usually better to go in clueless and be surprised. However, I did manage to skim through some reviews only to be saddened by the negative comments I read. But I couldn’t call myself a fan if I didn’t go see the movie at the theater. So I went tonight. Should you see it? If you like his other movies, definitely! This movie doesn’t have the depth of his other movie. If I had to compare it to one of his other movies, I would say it is like The Village but without the slow parts. It has suspense, a few scares, an interesting if light and simple plot and quite a bit of humor. The audience laughed at the right times and even clapped on a couple occasions when things went right. Don’t expect a movie full of twists and surprises and you won’t be disappointed. This is pretty much a fairy tale, and if you go in knowing this, you won’t feel you wasted your money.
You might be a Floridian if …Melanie, an ex-coworker from Kansas, now works for a company whose corporate office is based out of Florida so they get Florida-themed emails once in a while. She shared with me one of those “you might be XXXX if ….” lists that go around the tubes in the Internets. Now, I can’t quite check most of them off since I’ve only been here for slightly over 5 months, but I’ll get there. Oh yes I will! Someday I’ll be cool like Joshy Josh. “Down South” means Key West “Panhandling” means going to Pensacola. You think no-one over 70 should be allowed to drive. Flip-flops are everyday wear. Shoes are for business meetings and church. No, wait, flip flops are good for church too, unless it’s Easter or An alligator once walked through your neighborhood. You smirk when a game show’s “Grand Prize” is a trip or cruise to You measure distance in minutes. You have a drawer full of bathing suits, and one sweatshirt. You get annoyed at the tourists who feed seagulls. All the local festivals are named after a fruit. A mountain is any hill 100 feet above sea level. You know the four seasons really are: almost summer, summer, It’s not soda, cola, or pop…it’s coke, regardless of brand or flavor, Anything under 95 is just warm. You’ve hosted a hurricane party. You go to a theme park for an afternoon, and know when to get on the You pass on the right and honk at the elderly. You understand the futility of exterminating cockroaches. You can pronounce Okeechobee, Kissimmee and Withlacoochee. You understand why it’s better to have a friend with a boat, than have a Bumperstickers on the pickup in front of you include: various fish, NRA You were 8 before you realized they made houses without pools. You were 12 when you first met someone who couldn’t swim. You get angry when people say “Florida isn’t really part of the SOUTH” You’ve worn shorts and used the A/C on Christmas. You know what the “stingray shuffle” is, and why it’s important!
Mission: DeathMission:Space, or THE DEATH MACHINE!!!!! as I like to call it, almost claimed another victim. It’s a DEATH MACHINE!!!!! I tell you and no one listens to me! Actually, they have signs EVERYWHERE, and they have repetitive videos warning you using text and voice. When you enter you MUST make a selection on whether you want to go on the spinning version of the non-spinning version, and they give you a piece of paper with warnings written on it in multiple languages that you carry through the line with you. Then you have to turn the paper in before you board, and then you watch more warnings. Finally they ask you to give them a thumbs up if you are ready to board. What else can they do to tell people NOT to get on the ride if they are not in good health? Josh thinks that they need to rehab it into a nice restaurant but then he thinks that there would be a bunch of choking deaths. He added that maybe it’s built on an Indian burial ground or that Disney is being punished for domestic partner benefits.
