I posted awhile ago about how this coming year will be your last chance to ride the Star Tours ride at Hollywood Studios. October 2010 will be the last month it will be open.

As beloved as this ride is to my heart, it is in serious disrepair from age. Something had to be done to fix it up. It was almost like riding in an old shoebox with clanking rusty nails.

Enter, Star Tours 2! It will open in 2010. Here is the funny announcement that they did…complete with Vader and Storm Troopers:

Another thing that got me excited was how they surprised everyone at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, CA. The costumed Captain Jack turned out to be the REAL Johnny Depp! Oh man. They needed to build rubber seats into that room, I’ll bet:

I’m super excited about what they have created for Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights this year! (I mean SAW!!!!!!!! OMG SAW!!!!)

They always do one of the best events in the business…but…I just can’t get behind the icon for this year. Julian, the evil movie theater Usher looks kind of like a pissed off mime to me. The voice doesn’t help.

Still, I freaking love those guys.

I know I’m not the only one who kept thinking this of Universal Studios’ 2009 Halloween Horror Nights Icon who is a movie theater usher. ROTFLROTFL:

OK so….I’ve been known to harass my cousin on AIM with mind-destroying things. This quote is from an AIM conversation with her:

Me: Dood you sound like so depressed all the time WTF. “nothing really” “not much” BAAAHHHHH.
Me: It is time to party and shit
Me: Well
Me: Not shit
Me: please dont do that
Me: I almost did that once but it was just a bad fart
Me: good thing too

Her: @_@ wait

Me: Wut
Me: I was talking about fart

Her: You thought you were depressed but you had to fart?

Me: NOOO

Her: what? XD

Me: I started out mocking you because you always sound so bored then somehow i started talking about a fart that was AN EPIC FART CALLED FRODO.

Me: Dude im posting that on my blog hahah

Her: err not sure where this is going now XD

Me: on me blog

Have you guys heard about the Disney expansion? :D WOO HOO!!!

There is going to be a huge expansion of Disney World to be opened by 2013. There will be a Fantasyland that includes meet and greets for all of the princesses – including a birthday celebration for Sleeping Beauty.

Beauty and the Beast will finally get the treatment it deserves. There will be a reconstruction of the Beast’s castle. It will be a restaurant, but you will also be able to watch the enchanted rose petals fall.

The Little Mermaid is getting an undersea ride. It will also open in Anaheim in 2011.

I think the Ariel ride will be a submarine-style ride. I’ve had beef since they removed my beloved subs. I hope this brings them back!!!

Oh man. Freaking awesome…..MOAR PARKZ FOR MEEEE!!!

Here is a nice little story about Bruster’s Ice Cream going above and beyond to bring ice cream to a fan who broke his leg. Yeah, this is how they roll in Pittsburgh.

Bruster’s is my favorite ice cream place on the planet. They make everything fresh on site. Once I had to wait because they were pressing and folding the waffle cones. My god was it the most delicious thing I have ever eaten.

I have major beef with New Jersey ice cream, and it’s largely because I was spoiled by Bruster’s when I lived in Pittsburgh. Where I live in NJ, there is absolutely no good place to buy ice cream. The stuff they sell near me is so bad I have to throw it out and not eat it. (Allegedly in the far north or south of NJ they have better places – at least I HOPE they do my GOD – but they are not near me.)

The central Jersey locals seem to like this place called Thomas Sweet. I call it Thomas ASS. Fucking awful shit. Thomas Sweet makes me fly into a rage. A serious rage. The fact that it exists is offensive to me. WHY DO YOU PEOPLE LIKE THIS?!!??!? WHO EATS HERE?!?!?

I brought some NJ natives to Pittsburgh and gave them Bruster’s. The amazed look on their faces was priceless. It was like at that very second they had had ice cream for the first time in their life. No, It was like they had seen god.

I might be biased because I was raised in Pittsburgh, but you know it’s good when non-Pittsburghers rank it is their favorite thing ever. That’s what fresh ingredients and making everything on site will do to you.

I don’t know what the fuck they serve in NJ, but it isn’t ice cream. It tastes like Processed Dairy Product in an asscan. And don’t talk to me about this Cold Stone Creamery crock of shit. That shit is like ice cream made with lard and buttfluff. The first 2 bites are good, but then you want to kill yourself.

NJ does hotdogs, burgers, pizza, anything Italian, and a host of other foods very well. We have things like zeppoles and knishes that have never been seen before in Pittsburgh. However, the NJ ice cream shops make me want to claw my eyes out, shove my eyes up my own ass and have reverse diarrhea out through my trachea.
