WHAT?!?!

You...went...to...Disneyland...without...me!? Fine! Be that way! Just go to the happiest place on earth and not even tell me there was a trip planned! It's okay. I'll be going down in October anyhow, so consider yourself well warned that there is a trip planned. ;)

Heather-Marie, what stuff did you do in Disneyland? Did you go to DCA? It's no big deal if you didn't, but while you're in Disneyland, I sincerely hope you check out some of the lesser-known gems available for your entertainment pleasure. One such specialty is Billy Hill and the Hillbillies. Every day at 11:15am in the Golden Horseshoe (that's in Frontierland), there's this awesomely funny show called Billy Hill and the Hillbillies ("I call it 'pros-teeth-is'"). There's that and of course, if it's still going, there's always Fantasmic. Gotta see Fantasmic! Ooh, and I see by the website that it is still playing. I know that it took a hiatus for some time for some updating.

Of course, you have to try on the new Pirates of the Caribbean, which features Capt. Jack Sparrow and the infamous Davy Jones. "Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirate's life for me!"

Dude, I'm like way excited to go to Disneyland! I haven't been all year, so I'm kind of stoked. :)

Anyway, take it easy, y'all. :)

My computer was bored

When I saw Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy I thought that it was just a wry commentary on people that their most advanced computer was found watching TV when the main characters approach it. But it looks as if computers being couch potatoes is the future of technology.

Greetings...

from LA. After having written this entire blog and losing the info due to a wireless internet that is not so friendly...
So, yesterday we travelled beyond the city limits to the land where dreams come true. And boy did they! I rode many a ride that I was scared of when I was there last. It was thrilling and life-fulfilling. We tracked down Mickey Mouse (after walking through his 'house' in a line that lasted almost and hour) and had some photo-ops. We ate over-priced food and had a blast. Disneyland was great. I wish you all could be here. Tomorrow is our long-awaited concert at the Disney Concert Hall. Then we will head back to Vegas and eventually Ogden. Hopefully they have fixed the ac on the bus so we won't be riding in +113 degree temperatures.
May all your dreams come true!
:)

Wow

This is an amazing image.

Jarrett, I liked your tritone poem. It blew my mind.

Oh, and for you fans of Harry Potter out there, it may interest you to know that:

"Due to book discounts and free shipping offers online booksellers like Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble will make no money off of the pre sales of "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince", but must rely entirely on the sale of other books on the same customer order."

Why is this? This is why. The Interwebs certainly makes life interesting, no?

a Zen story

from the aptly-named 101zenstories.com

Everything is Best

When Banzan was walking through a market he overheard a conversation between a butcher and his customer.

"Give me the best piece of meat you have," said the customer.

"Everything in my shop is the best," replied the butcher. "You cannot find here any piece of meat that is not the best."

At these words Banzan became enlightened.


Hello?

You know that the Empire is going downhill when...

Color me happy

I'm always happy when people put out cool toys on the web (or elsewhere).

This one's been out for quite a while, but I can't remember if I blogged it when it did come out. I haven't had much use for it, but I remembered it today as I was poking around the Adobe Labs site and thought I'd throw it up here for all y'all.

Deft vs Daft

Deft: quick and skillful; adroit.
Daft: mad; crazy; foolish; stupid.
Draft: a current of air in an enclosed area.
Raft: what marooned pirates use to escape their islands.

Oh, the confusion

I wonder if Jeff meant daft?
As for being married, I have been, to Jason, for almost three years now. :) I'm suspecting there may have been some confusion as to which Kristin/Kristen this is. This is Kristin, Jason's wife, not Kristen as in Vesper, who is actually soon to be married with soon being about two weeks at which time she will no longer be Kristen as in Vesper but Kristen as in Cottar ( I think).
Are we confused yet?

Deftness...

Jeff, I think you spelled deft correctly. I'm pretty sure it's not depht, or daeft, or even daephft.

As far as Kristin being married, well, I'll just let her tell that story. :)

Maybe I'm deft....

(don't know if I spelled deft right or not) but did you get married Kristen? I must have missed something if that's the case.

What is everyone's plans for the summer? I can't wait for Marching band to start this year at Roy. We are going to have a very diverse staff and the band is going to have fun learning our Monty Python show. How exciting!!

Later all!

I'm Here I'm here!

Hooray for my first blog on the band blog. It's nice not to have to log in as Jason to comment. :)
Jayce and I moved out of the apartments and into a house the beginning of March. We've been planning on doing a band party at our house from the beginning, but the time has not been ripe yet. Soon, though. :)
Sadly, we probably won't make it to the housewarming party due to a wedding the same day, but we are going to try. Hope to see y'all soon!

Oh yeah

By the way, anyone planning on coming to the party, feel free to bring a percussion instrument and/or other musical-type instrument. I'm thinking we need a drum circle/jam session somewhere in there.

Welcome Kristen!!!!

Hey Kristen, when did you move out of the apt's up here? I just realized that we got a new tenant again, and was just wondering.


Jarrett, Rael Brewer came to me the other day at work and said "Do you know Jarrett Whitley?"
I'm like "No, I know a Jarrett Wheatley." and we laughed. Jarrett, how are things in your neck of the woods, it's been a long time and I'd like to reconcile with you. Let me know. you can email me at ohsosaxy2712 {at} comcast {dot} competition

As for all, later!
