Disneyland Day

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

After riding Space Mountain (3x), Indiana Jones Adventure (2x), Star Tours, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Carribean, The Jungle Cruise, Astro Orbitor, It’s a Small World, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, Peter Pan’s Flight and Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters (saved the galaxy from Emperor Zurg, by the way – you can thank us later)…

And not to mention watching Fantasmic and the “Remember…Dreams Come True” fireworks.. and walking the entire park about ten times over…

We both feel like Mickey kicked our asses. But, it was fun. 🙂

New Found Patience

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

I’ve been in an introspective mood lately. Even with all sorts of “stuff” churning around up there, I haven’t really felt like expressing any of it, at least not yet. While a part of wants to yammer on about what I think of this and what I think of that, I guess I just need to think about it more before I truly let it all out. It’s odd, this new sensation of thinking before I speak. Of having… patience. The old me would just spew all sorts of word-vomit, not a care in the world of how impatient or hot-headed I was being. This new me, however, thinks and actually ponders before speaking (or typing) and acting.

I guess I could chock it up to being tired or stressed, but that would silly. I think that part of me has actually “grown-up”. I shudder to think of myself grown-up, but I quite like the idea of never having to realise I stopped breathing because I was so angry. 😀

Anyway, kinda random.. I know. On a different note, but still about being “grown-up”, Kev and I are going to Disneyland tomorrow (my b’day present from Kev)! We’ll be there bright and early, ready for a day of not having to worry about being a grown-up! And I’m sure my new found patience will be tested rigorously. 😉

Digital Tapas, 2nd Course

Monday, September 25th, 2006

Digital Tapas went pretty well last night. I wasn’t nervous at all, but I also winged it. Apparently, it’s better that way. Less prep time equals a spontaneous, fun show! So, from now on, I’ll be spending less time on getting it “just so” and more time on finding groovin’ music for your listening pleasure. More fun for me that way, too.

Oh! Like a good little DJ, I remembered to record the show this time. After my Anatomy test tomorrow (another week, another test! I’m seriously stressing this one..), I will convert it to mp3 and upload it for those of you who missed it. I’ll post again when I do to make it obvious when I upload it!
