We are about to get a snowstorm. What better time to talk about my favorite place on the planet?

Expedition Everest is one of my favorite rides at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Florida. It is a rollercoaster through a mountain where a giant Yeti chases you. I thought it would be really tame. It is not a speed coaster, but HOLY CRAP did the past where you go backwards and the Yeti comes out scare the shit out of me. First you see him on what looks like an IMAX Dome thingy, but later the animatronic thing comes for you. Check out this on ride footage to see why it’s so mind-destroying (LOL some guy screams like a girl):

Well, Popular Mechanics has a great post about how the ride works!

The next ride that I love is Disney’s Hollywood Studios Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. It’s an elevator drop ride that is based on The Twilight Zone. You go through a haunted hotel where you see ghosts and then you get dropped. It’s amazing:

Check out this blog post that goes into crazy detail about why this ride is so BEST EVAR.

Whee. So, I work a lot. You might have picked that up if you have read me for awhile. :D I worked all day today, then worked on my second job while watching Drag Me to Hell on DVD, then made Harknell Japanese curry rice, miso soup, and homemade cinnamon rolls. The good thing is that we have enough cinnamon rolls left for tomorrow’s dessert!

We also had snow today again. I hate that. My feet hurt all of the time and this makes it worse. I will be glad when we get to Spring…

It’s been busier than usual recently. You’ll see why in a few days when I make a Big Announcement.

This May you can pick out your own wand at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure in Florida:

I have to confess, I have not read the Potter books past the first 1 or 2. My point of saying all of this is that I don’t know much about the Potter franchise other than it’s some guys on brooms plus a guy that’s got a santa claus beard but even my dumb ass can’t freaking wait to see the Potter Island at IOA. This is going to be the most revolutionary thing to happen in a long time at an amusement park! If you are a Potter fan you should be soiling your drawers about now, because you need to go here.

Here is my last post about the progress of the Island.

Remember back when I posted that I am in an abusive relationship with my iPhone?

I have the best husband evar. He went out and scored me a cheap refurb 3Gs just when my upgrade credit popped in through AT&T. We aren’t the typical couple. My husband doesn’t do the diamonds thing. He doesn’t do flowers. He does technology. This is one of many reasons why we work so well together. When he sees me struggling to get to all of my emails, he gets an idea on how to help me and goes for it. He knows I could care less about flowers and diamonds unless they get me internetz.

I found something amazing. My anger at the iPhone had nothing to do with the iPhone itself. It was because the 3G iPhone was underpowered and slow. The keyboard would freeze. I would then press hard and hurt my arm and hand trying to subconsciously make it go faster.

The 3GS is a dream. It is a lot faster. My keyboard no longer freezes. My email is fast and does not crash. The kicker? My hand no longer hurts. Problem solved!

I can’t believe I was lucky enough to snag Harknell. He cares more about seeing me succeed than anything else, and I care more about him succeeding than anything else. We are two screwed up weirdos, but perfectly matched.

BTW: Thanks to Sandy from MEI Travel/Mouse Fan Travel for reminding me to post this! :) If you need a travel agent to help you go to Disney World, she is your woman! Just request her when you contact them!
