We are at Disney World this week.  We are staying on a Disney resort and that effectively means all previous Disney World trips have been invalidated.  What I mean is, we’re never coming here without staying on the resort again.  It’s an entirely different experience.  All of the previous trips were wonderful, but this one tops all of them.

As it turns out, the trip just happened to coincide with an internet songwriting game.  You’d think that I’d have to miss out on the music while on vacation.  Maybe… or maybe not.  We’re going out to eat at the hotel tonight.  As everyone was getting ready I snuck over to my computer and wrote bass and drum parts for two new songs.

It’s not much, but it’s something.

I feel like doing the Hot Dog Dance.

I almost got in a fight with one of those umbrellas. It was awesome.

I tried to live stream The Haunted Mansion on Instagram, but it was too dark and the cell signal was spotty. I might try again on other rides.

Splash Mountain maybe?

The flight was perfect. Our dinner reservation had some problems. It started raining the instant we walked into our first park. The room is wonderful. My back is killing me.

Day one is in the books. I grade it a success.

 

 

Addendum: The wifi here is complete garbage.  You’ll get pictures eventually.

Grilled chicken + Stranger Things = patio lunch.

While patiently waiting for the dryer to finish I sat in the yard with my 12-string noodling out ideas for 50/90.

Apple fanboy preps for travel… again.

Last night was a really bad sleep.  Really bad.  The mask was a nightmare, and I couldn’t fall sleep and my back was hurting and I think I was probably just overly excited about being on vacation.

Because I’m on vacation.

I went to bed last night at a little before 11:00.  Once I fell asleep I didn’t wake up until just before 2:00.  I made it almost three hours without a problem.  Granted, I barely made it to six hours total, but going three hours without the mask coming unsealed is kind of a milestone.  I was happy.  I’m still seriously exhausted today, but I’m happy.

Yup, I’m happy.

I’m super happy.

Music progress progresses.  I’ve got eight ideas for 50/90 underway.  Only one seems like it might be good.  I haven’t recorded any guitars yet, but I have all the gear I need to record my new two amp setup that I have going on in the bedroom.  I might test drive a little recording tonight, if I get the chance.  I also haven’t hooked up my attenuator yet, though I have everything I need to use it.  I might be a little nervous about messing with that one.

If only I could explain why I am so happy.

This made me sad.  A little, at least.

Appeals court rules Trump can’t block people on Twitter

It has been one of my stated goals for the four years Trump spends in office to be blocked by him on twitter.  It hasn’t happened yet, and based on this Appeals court ruling it may never happen.

No amount of calling out his fascist, anti-American, racist, colluding, obstructing behavior will get me blocked.  No amount of pointing out his low IQ, or inability to spell, or speak in complete sentences will get me blocked.  The Nazi moron just isn’t allowed to do it.

Oh well.  I guess I’ll just rejoin the majority of Americans by focusing on voting his ignorant, fascist ass out of office next year.
