Life is a Journey

Confused? Don't be. On Tuesday, I took a test with a company in Orange County and I think it went quite well. Since I was out there and I didn't really feel like sitting on the 91 freeway for 2 hours, I decided to go to Disneyland. I loved seeing the pumpkin characters above the turnstiles! The City Hall area is apparently being renovated. As I was walking by, I saw that the horse had been disconnected from the trolley! The colors of Halloween! By this time it was 4:20 in the afternoon and I was STARVING. I went to the Carnation Cafe and ordered a fantastic cheeseburger with fries. Oh it was good. You can see that I had practically the whole place to myself! After that GREAT burger, I walked to Frontierland and stopped to check out the cool Halloween stuff. Here you see a Leota snow globe. It is really cool and has a battery operated light which I turned on for the photo. At $24.95 it was a bit too steep for this unemployed Disney Freak so I h...

I received an email last week inviting me to take a written test for a position. Finally a bite! The test is tomorrow in Irvine, at 1:00 PM. After the test, I am going to Disneyland for some stress relief, LOL! Keep me in your thoughts, y'all!

Howdy there, friends and neighbors. We've got pictures! Lots of them, and I'm sharing them all with you whether they are good, bad or indifferent. Why? Because as of this writing I've got a stupid head cold and I have no idea when I'll be going back to the Parks so enjoy it while you can. Today we finish up our Fantasmic Glow With The Show report and while I must admit that I didn't take any photos of the actual Fantasmic show (I got stuck in the back) I did take plenty of pictures of all the happy annual passholders in their flashing ear hats.  I gotta tell ya, I got the biggest kick out of those ears! The moon was out and looking rather cool. It was a great night to be in New Orleans Square.   How often do you see NOS this empty? Now my attention is focused back on the ears.   Sorry this is blurry but it looks kinda cool, no? There's Mr. Red #10 again and this time his ears are orange! And then my brain s...

Was starting to feel sorry for myself. After all, I've been unemployed for almost 2 years. Two days ago I woke up with a bad, bad head cold. So ya, I was being a grumpy bear. And then... Then I heard about a poor young man that has been diagnosed with Stevens Johnson Syndrome - the strangest disease I've ever heard of. It's like his body is burning from the inside out! Check out his story here . I'm feeling pretty damn good after reading that. Wish I could donate towards his medical expenses :-(

Welcome back! You know, the wonderful thing about having an annual pass is that you don't feel pressured to "do it all" when you are at the Park. My son and I had a leisurely dinner, then sat and talked and just enjoyed sitting by the Rivers of America and watching the Mark Twain sail by. When we were finally ready to do some walking, we used the Hungry Bear's back stairs and came upon this - a not so very camouflaged watercraft of some kind. Once we were on the lower level we paused to admire the river yet again. A quick stop in the bathroom presented another photo opportunity. This is for you, Dave! These rather large tiles are above the sinks and quite pretty, I think! Oh look! It's the Mark Twain....again! I took my son to the little used bypass that goes along the river and we watched people as they reached the end of their Splash Mountain plunge. I liked the look of these rooftops so naturally, I took a picture. Rounding the ...
