Epcot Today

We slept in a bit this morning and then we headed off to EPCOT. The Living Seas has been redone with characters from Finding Nemo. It is a nice upgrade, but I was disappointed that they did not use Ellen Degeneres's voice as the fish Dory. Since they use her voice and likeness at the Universe of Energy at the same park,  I would of thought they could have acquired her to dub the new attraction. My laptop doesn't want to accept photos from my camera, so pictures will have to wait till I get home. I may post some from my cell phone if I get the chance. MGM Studios is on the agenda for tomorrow!

Walt Disney World

We made it! We are finally here! So far we are having a wonderful time. We met up with our friend, Bob yesterday and had dinner at Ohana. It is a family style restaurant with a Hawaiian flair. They changed the menu and it is not as good as it used to be. It was great to see Bob no matter what the setting. Last night we picked up our dear friends, Bill and Andy, who are staying with us for the week! We were all here in 1999 together, so it makes a nice reunion! We went to the Animal Kingdom this morning and rode Expedition Everest. It is probably the fastest roller coaster in Disneyworld. It was a lot of fun, but the second time we rode it I got a bit nauseated. My cell phone has been acting up so the blogs may not be as frequent as I would like.

American Idol...Unlock Your Doors!

Tonight I watched the second episode from season six of American Idol. Everytime someone left the audition room the judges had to remind him or her to  go out the right door of the double doors. Why not just unlock the left? I am forever expecting the left door to be unlocked in a double door set. How many hours have people wasted saying, "other door" since the invention of the double door? Please unlock both doors!

Dreamgirls

I saw the Dreamgirls movie again. I really urge you to see it. It is so great to see musicals again on the big screen. Jennifer Hudson is excellent as Effie White. It makes no sense to compare her to Jennifer Holliday, the original Broadway Effie. Both are special in their own way. However, Holliday's performance was one of the greatest to ever hit the Broadway stage. I feel so privilaged to have witnessed it live! She literally "stopped the show!" Here is a clip from the 1992 Tony Awards. While not the same as live...it is pretty damned good! 

The Milk to Cereal Ratio

This morning I had a bowl of GOLEAN Crunch cereal for breakfast. I decided to use all the milk that was left in the jug for my cereal. There was too much for my bowl of cereal, but if I used the correct amount, there wouldn't be enough left for anything else. My cereal looked like milk soup!  I ate all the cereal out of my bowl, but what was I to do with the cup and a half of milk left? Drink it? No! Throw it out! Oh God, No!  I decided to fill it up with cereal again! Why did I feel I had to use all of the milk? Why didn't I just drink the milk that was left in the bowl. It is no wonder I struggle with my weight!

Head Cold

My head is about to explode! The sinus pressure and watery eyes are making me crazy. Where is my Sudafed? Dear Mike went out and tried to buy me some remedies. He bought me Sudafed PE and the CVS brand of a decongestant. I read the box on the Sudafed PE..."Does not contain Pseudoephedrine". What? How can you sell something called something that doesn't contain that something? What's next? Jiff Peanut Butter..."Does not contain peanuts?" Yes, I watch the news. I know that they have put products behind the counter that contain pseudoephedrine because I might decide to make crystal meth while I am coughing and wheezing, but this is ridiculous! Call it something else, because it sure does not work as well as the Sudafed I bought the last time. Somebody say "God Bless You" and please don't touch your nose after reading this!

I Can't Wait!

Tigger is Innocent! Accusers Losers!

I can't believe that Tigger's innocence is in question! The video clearly shows that the kid is pulling Tigger off balance. It is also not a punch! It is just a slap, not very hard,  and it doesn't even look intentional. The father, Jerry Monaco, even said that at first he thought his son had done something. Why would he say that? His son must do things like this and he suspected him. Jerry Monaco, Sr. and Jerry Monaco, Jr. are my losers of the week!

The Holidays Are Over

Is this the year? Do I finally lose the weight and get back in shape? I feel 80 years old! How long can I stuff my body. I don't even recognize myself in the mirror. It seems so much to even get up of the couch. I feel so stiff when I wake up in the morning. What is going to make me take care of my body? I have been suffering with apathy for too long. I just can't seem to keep motivated. I think I will go make a frozen pizza.

Losers of the Week... Perhaps Century

The following Massachusetts Senators and Representatives will be damned to the wrong side of history. Today, each of them voted to write discrimination into the Massachusetts State Constitution to ban already legal gay marriage. Each of them do not deserve to hold the offices they hold. They are run by a mob majority. I am disgusted.
