The Disney pictures are finally all online!
Here is the Flickr Collection page.
If you aren’t a Flickr friend you will see only the public pictures. Those don’t have any pictures of the kids. If you notice a discrepancy please let me know so I can change the permissions on that image. If you are a Flickr friend you’ll see it all.
Enjoy!
Here’s what I’ve been excited about but haven’t shared.
We thought there was a chance of us maybe renting a house in Tewksbury. It was a nice thought but the place has been rented.
Oh well. We will keep our eyes open and see if anything else comes along.
We are doing an interesting errand this morning. Tonight we are going to see Toy Story 3 with the kids.
Fun stuff.
Read this ESPN article.
There is a lot of information in this article that relates to difficulties we had while driving to Florida.
First of all, I am glad they are all right. Danny Briere plays for the Flyers, the team that the Bruins blew their three games to none lead against. I wanted the Flyers to die figuratively, not literally, so this is a happy ending.
Now. What to note that applies to our journey.
First. PENNSYL-FRICKIN=VANIA.
Okay, so this actually happened just after they crossed out of PA into New York, but still… Pennsylvania. Urgh.
Second. Route 81.
Third. It involved a tractor trailer.
Never have I driven on a more stressful highway, populated by more assholes weaving between lanes in their tractor trailer trucks. It was a mess. We nearly died 100 times at least. They say Massachusetts drivers are terrible, well if we are then 99% of the truck drivers on route 81 were fellow Massholes. It was ridiculous. We actually started cheering when we crossed the state line into Maryland. We started cheering again when we finally (safely) got ourselves off of route 81.
None of what I read in this article surprised me at all. I would expect stuff like this to happen 10 times a day on that road.
I’m glad everyone was okay though. Even though I want Danny Briere to lose every game he plays in for the rest of his natural life. Even if he plays Parcheesi with friends when he’s 110 years old, I want him to lose.
I have almost all of the Florida pictures on Flickr. I was uploading the last batch off of my laptop when I left for work and it appears that the machine went to sleep before finishing because the Chef Mickey stuff and the drive home are missing. I still have to go through and finish making sets, and separate the kid pics (which have premissions set to family only) and the non kid pics (which are public). Right now just about all of the Magic Kingdom stuff is still set to family only.
Sneak peak:
The Celtics lost last night. My sympathies to basketball fans everywhere who have to suffer through another year with the LA Lakers as the champs. For Celtics fans, losing game seven after having been up three games to two is painful. Not, however, as painful as losing game seven after having been up three games to none… right Bruins fans? I suppose the fact that it came in the NBA finals as opposed to the second round makes it a little closer to even… but not all the way. Still sucks worse to be a Bruins fan.
The kids started summer vacation after finishing a half day of school about an hour or so ago. I am overwhelmed with jealousy. I want a summer vacation too!
We’re having a washing machine delivered on Sunday. Now all of you readers (all three of you) can be jealous of us! HA! (that’s sarcasm.)
We have something potentially big going on tomorrow, but I still don’t want to make it public. We have to talk to some one and then things have to work out correctly and there are way to many variables (one being pure interest on our part) to get overly excited, yet I am overly excited. When it is time to make an announcement I will. Not before.
We’re going on a long weekend visit to New York soon. I really want to go. I want to go NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW! It’s just like the build up to Florida all over again, except this time the drive is shorter. I WANNA GO NOW!
Happy Friday, everyone.
Yes, the Epcot pictures are up on Flickr! Now I just have to go through two days worth of Magic Kingdom, and then the drive home. WOOHOO! Progress!
Including many sad attempts at artsy fartsy kinda stuff like these!
And who knew Disney World was so violent?
I am also very jealous right now. Today is the kids’ end of the school year awards ceremony and I am not there. I wish I was. Jen is going so she and the kids can give me a full report.
What is even more jealousy worthy than that? Well check this out… the kids start summer vacation tomorrow. That’s right. Starting tomorrow afternoon they get to be school-free for almost three months. THREE MONTHS! I am so jealous. I want to have summer vacations again. I miss it very much. Wouldn’t it be great to just stay home with my wife all day and just hang out watching cartoons and playing in the yard? That’s the life, I tells ya.
Anyway, go look at the pictures if you want to. If you don’t then don’t.
Here’s my review of the Warren the Ape show.
I liked it. I laughed out loud in a few spots (that’s LOL’d for the youngsters in the reading audience).
But it’s not as funny as the FOX version of Greg the Bunny, and it’s not as funny as either IFC version of Greg the Bunny. I mean it’s good. I’ll keep watching it… it was just not as good as it should have been… or as I wanted it to be. Frankly, some of the jokes (sex tape?) had been done on the IFC show.
But like I said, I’ll keep watching.
I haven’t forgotten.
So it’s been two days and I still haven’t watched the premier episode of Warren the Ape. I’ve seen a couple of good reviews though. I am optimistic that it lives up to the Greg the Bunny standards.
Warren the Ape: It’s Like if Fozzie Bear Worked Blue
Warren the Ape is So Good, You’ll Forget You’re Watching MTV
I am particularly hopeful that the title of the second article is true. We watched about 3 minutes worth of MTV programming while I was setting the DVR to record the Warren series. It was thiiiiis close to being unbearable. I don’t even remember what it was, but it was painful. Sure, Jersey Shore is funny in a sick, sad, embarrassing way, but for the most part watching MTV is like watching a pretentious Mentos commercial 24/7. I can’t deal with it. Warren had best buck the terrible trend.
I have full faith in that drunken primate.
