Dr. Pepper at just past five a.m... it's a hellified way to start your day.
Need more discipline in my daily routine. Need to write. Need to study. Need to do something productive for fuck's sake. Having trouble reconciling this with me not wanting to do anything unless I actually care about it.
Supreme Court... boooring. Lack of political coverage... boooring.
My computer has a virus that's inundating me with pop-up ads whenever I'm hooked up to an internet connection, even if I don't have a browser window open. The anti-virus program I'm running, which by its very nature is supposed to be anti-letting viruses onto my computer, says it can't fix it. Well, what good are you?
"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave."
If you don't like the Tower of Terror, then the terrorists have won. Or something to that effect. No, it's probably because you're just drawing a comparison to the Florida version. Florida enjoys the advantage of WIDE OPEN SPACE, so the Tower there was built with a larger footprint, which in turn gave it ample room for a long, impeccably-themed queue, higher capacity (about 25% more than than CA), and a marginally longer ride (by MAYBE fifteen seconds). But what if you set that aside for a moment and just judged the CA Tower on its own merits? The incredible detail throughout? The beautiful nighttime lighting? The great forced perspective stuff in the lobby? The knock-your-socks-off amazing boiler room? That cool scene where you watch yourself disappear? The way that elevator car starts shaking uncontrollably before the last drop?
Okay, now think about Florida. Is the CA version not just as thrilling? Is it not every bit as imposing as you walk towards it? Given that there was so much less space to work with, and a much smaller budget, doesn't that make what they've accomplished with the CA Tower that much more admirable?
Bottom line: I saw nothing but ear-to-ear grins last weekend as cast members from all over the resort, some who'd walked all the way over from Toontown (and were still in costume), exited the Tower and jumped RIGHT BACK IN LINE to do it again. I think the public's reaction will be more or less the same on May 5th.
"Sony is my master, and it has always been..."
To paraphrase a Jack-in-the-Box commercial, my DVD-RW is so boss. $170, refurbished. 70-minute CD burnination in a shade under 5 minutes, plus the opportunity to backup anything of note on my hard drive before it crashes again.
Is firewire/i.LINK/IEEE 1394 more 31337 than USB2?
"Today I made you a mixtape, and I decorated it with lots of stars..."
"The Etiology of Public Support for the Supreme Court." Ewwww.
Let's play.
