Aren't characters generally supposed to be sympathetic? And not grubby bungholes that make me want to kill?

all sorts of newness up in here »

I went to WDW on Thursday and Friday to preview the new ride, Expedition: Everest.

Sweeeet.

Thursday was the first day of the passholder preview (previously it'd been open for cast members and their guests), and Melissa wanted to go, so I said, why not, I have those days off, and left Tampa for a quickie WDW trip. I got there around 3, a little before Melissa & Chris got there, so I ran around and satisfied my picturelust.



Disney outdid themselves on the themeing this time around. Actually, if you think about it, this is less of a "wow they went real far on it" and more of a return to the glory days of WDImagineering. It's a great ride with excellent themeing and it was hott.

Also new: hott header up top. Sweeet. Niiice.

that makes, uh, sense »

While browsing Google Local for restaurants near my apartment, I came across the following listing:



So I understand that not every phone number can spell something meaningful, but um, ok. I think it's a secret shoutout.

That is all.

I thought this was a family newspaper! II »

The St Pete Times has a new motto:

We're obsessed with porn.

Seriously, WTF?

I thought this was a family newspaper! »

The St Pete Times is kinda obsessed with this whole story about how (part of) a porn blockbuster was filmed on a boat that's a local attraction. And now they've added pictures! Excellent. It's a heckuva lot cheaper than buying the actual porn, I guess.

aw poopy »

Andy Roddick lost.

Although this NYT article's headline makes it sound like a delightful concoction of olives and chicken beat the number 2 seed.

Hehe.

The men's side is boring now; I hope Hrbaty wins, even if only because his name is Hrbaty.

is that pantone approved?? »

[horror]

The Hotel Royal Plaza in Lake Buena Vista has recently re-opened after sustaining damage from Hurricane Charley. Among the ritzy improvements that the property made during its renovation are:

* wireless in public areas
* new carpeting & drapes
* new beds and linens
* granite countertops

And the most important:

New landscaping and repainting the exterior of the hotel from pink to warm honeysuckle also was part of the makeover.

Mmm, warm honeysuckle. Which is, you know, another way of saying pink.

Freaks. [source]

EDIT //
I found a picture of the new hotel exterior, and I must admit that it's no longer pink. Now it's orangy-pink. Duh. I should have known from the name. 'Honeysuckle.' How daft of me.

newspaper confuse me :( »

Does anyone understand what this headline is trying to say? Anyone at all? Because it confounds me. Like, really.



I know newspapers are all about saving words, but honestly. At least try to leave the meaning intact. [spt]

of theaters and boobies »

We went to see Brokeback Moutain on, um, Thursday. It was playing at the Tampa Theater, a gorgeous restored theater downtown. However, beautiful old playhouses do not good theaters make. Or something like that. Anyways, the dialogue was so muddied that I didn't understand over half of what they were saying.



It's definitely a tasty place though.

Last night we went to Arigato, one of them Japanese hibachi grill places. Good food, but I've never been a fan of places that seat you with strangers. At our grill were these two women, one of whom kept staring at our group. That was interesting since she was wearing this green shirt that was probably unintentionally sheer. So not only did she keep looking at us, but so did her left nipple.

Like I said, tasty.

It's a travesty of nature when someone owns Halo 2 ... without owning the original Halo.

there's avant-garde »

Then there's just fucken-dumb:

And you thought that 20 minute hidden track on your favorite band's cd was ridiculous.

Also, can anyone tell me what is WITH that pisshole (literally) that is referred to as being one of the most influential works of modern art? Although, this part cracked me up...

The suspect, a Provence resident whose identity was not released, also vandalized the work in 1993 -- urinating into the 1917 piece when it was on display in Nimes, in southern France, police said.

But ... how is that vandalizing it when that's what a urinal's for?

The art world can be so craptacularly dumb.

ATTN: all employees »

Anytime you take a dump in the employee bathroom (especially for those of us who have particularly, er, fragrant stool), please leave the fan running after you depart. The rest of us do not particularly enjoy inhaling your poop particles. I'm still blue from holding my breath while attempting to pee.

Thanks.

my life got flipped turned upside down »

American cheese? You know, that deliciously disgusting dairy product that all American kids grow up embracing as the only important form of cheese?

We've all been disillusioned.

American cheese is not its own cheese; rather:

American cheese is simply cheddar or colby that is ground and emulsified with water, said Bonnie Chlebecek, a test kitchen manager at Land O'Lakes in Arden Hills, Minn. [nyt]

That's IT??

American cheese, the darling of the American dairy industry is actually Cheddar or Colby? What happened to American innovati... Oh, stupid question.

Americans is biters.
