Magic Kingdom In The Sky |
] |
Just because I can...
Magic Kingdom In The Sky
All my life I have been searching
For the fabled Promised Land
With my sisters and my brothers
We shall walk there hand in hand
Through the trials and tribulations
And the Devil's cruel temptations
I know that we will all get there one day
After years and years of wand'ring
Oh the Kingdom we shall find
And the doors may not be open
But we'll gather in the line
And our hearts will swell with pride
The day those gates swing open wide
And we take a walk down Main Street, USA
Oh that Magic Kingdom in the Sky
We will all be there together by and by
We will all drink from the fountain
And go ridin' on Space Mountain
When we reach that Magic Kingdom in the Sky
Where Mother Minnie Father Dopey and
Saint Tinkerbell abide
There will be no more cares or sorrows
On that heavenly teacup ride
I will lay down all my fears when I put on
Those big black ears
And join the choir to sing in harmony (harmony)
We will sing the songs of aimless souls
Who once had gone astray
Who were lost but now are found
In the electric light parade
Singing "Hakuna Matata"
Growing Mouseketeer stigmata
In the only club that's made for you and me
Oh that Magic Kingdom in the Sky
We will all be there together by and by
All God's children shall be freein'
Pirates of the Carribean
When we reach that Magic Kingdom in the Sky
Oh the meekest and poorest
Their inheritants shall see
And a zillion Japanese tourists
All will join the jamboree
They will ride that holy monorail
Into sweet Providence
When they know that their redeemer is
A mouse in short red pants
[Nice pants!]
Won't you take me to Orlando
Where the sun is shining bright
All the angels are cleanshaven
And the people snowy white
Where your problems all are hidden
And unhappiness forbidden
You'll find salvation for a modest fee
Climb into my Winnebago
And if you help with the gas
Then we maybe can finagle
You five or six day pass
May your afterlife be blessed
Just American Express it
Let Mastercard and Visa set you free...
Oh that Magic Kingdom in the Sky
We will all be there together by and by
All religions may be practiced there
Except for Southern Baptist
When we reach that Magic Kingdom in the Sky
Oh that Magic Kingdom in the Sky
Manufactured by that Uncle Walter guy
We'll give thanks to that old geezer
And we'll keep in the freezer
When we reach that Magic Kingdom in the Sky
hee hee!

who knew a TV show, whose main character is an atheist, would have such a great line?
"You can't be mad at God and not believe in Him at the same time."

Stand Up To Cancer |

I spent this afternoon organizing my room again. *sigh* I can see the floor! Yipee!
Tomorrow night I have to take Judy out to the airport so that she can fly down to meet up with *Gaylord* and bring him back up. GAG ME. I am not looking forward to him moving in. I just hope that we're all anxious for nothing and that he'll be a stand up guy and not some psycho Santa (as Erin calls him) but he seems so controlling over the phone. He was all pissed off when I was in the middle of a thunderstorm at work, and he said he doesn't want me working for the Seavey's anymore. Like he has a say in the matter.
I have a feeling we're going to butt heads really soon after he moves up here. blah.
It's just a weird situation all the way around, and I hate that he gets to dictate any part of my life. He doesn't really, but I have to play family politics for at least this semester, possibly this whole school year.
And, I know, in the grand scheme of things my problem is so small, but it's the problem I've got at the moment.
Now, back to surfing the net.

The Cosby Show |

in this post. I hope.
School went well today considering I am playing catch up in two classes. I'm not too worried, though. I think I'll be able to catch up without any problems. I really like the two profs that I met today both are understanding and have a very relaxed style that makes them easy to approach. Which is GREAT for someone like me.
So my tuesdays and thursdays now look like this:
11:30a - 12:45p = Western Civ.
2:30p - 3:45 = American Sign Language 101
4:00p - 5:15 = Movies and the 1st Amendment - which is a very misleading title. Here I was thinking we'd learn about movies getting away with stuff like Michael Moore's film, but no such luck. But we do get to watch a movie (or rather part of one) each class! w00t! Cary Grant's even got one on the list *boogies*
I only have make up work in my film class... and it's *so hard* I have to watch a movie and write a paper on it. Wow. How will I EVER survive? hee hee. And, apparently, my prof grew up with the Seavey clan in Seward. Go figure. It's a small world after all. *will refrain from a political rant*
My sign language class went well too. I wasn't as lost as I feared. I knew a lot of the signs already (alphabet, counting to ten, and a few vocab words) the hard part is later in the semester when we have to go out and actually use what we've learned to communicate. FREAK-Y!
So I'm going to go now and play Diner Dash now. lol. I've lost my train of thought. Oh well.

My Prof Rambling |

So I've been annoyed by Obama for the umpteen-bazillionth time. Was watching the Today Show this morning and they showed a clip of a CNN interview he had in the last few days about Alaskan Governor and VP nominee Sarah Palin and her lack of experience (oh, the irony!) and he kept referring to her home town (of which she was mayor not too long ago) as "Wasilly" as opposed to "Wasilla" which either means he doesn't truly care about the topic enough to research it. Or he's an arrogant jerk of a guy who KNOWS how to pronounce it and feels that it's not important enough or he feels the need to be insulting. Either way, it's unacceptable.
So much for him really thinking Alaskans were people worth talking to. Liar, liar, pants on fire!
Another thing that makes me cranky, Sarah is speaking tonight, but instead I have to take a crappy three hour class with a prof that makes NO SENSE whatsoever!

No, not a sequel to that Harrison Ford - Anne Heche movie from the late 90s, that's how long Erin and I will be in Walt Disney World! I modified our reservations yesterday morning and haven't stopped bouncing since! Hee hee!
We get into Orlando International (MCO) at 5:12pm on the 11th of January and our flight out is still the same (8:45am Jan 22). We're eating at Boma our first night there and then gonna sleep soundly so that we're not sleep deprived the first day.
As you can imagine we're uber excited! 129 days to go!

So Erin got a notification saying our flight had been cancelled from Seattle to Orlando. The only flight we could get has us getting into Orlando at 5:12 pm on Sunday the 11th... which is about when we were originally starting our trip down... soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo now I'm having to call WDW and adding another night to our stay. I think the plan is to get there, check in, and then head over to another resort and eat and then come back and crash.
I think this will work out better in the long run as that gives us another day before our breakfast with Donald
but now I have to make ADRs for Sunday night and possibly monday... not sure where we'll eat in the Magic Kingdom though.

| and he's off! |
[31 Aug 2008|09:12am] |
Dad called while I was in the shower... he flies out of Kenai, AK to get to Anchorage at noon (or there abouts, he was told to be ready BY NOON) it's about a 30-45minute flight to Anchorage, and then he said he'd call as soon as he knows when he takes off outta here.
I probably won't get to see him off as I'll be at work

Today was not a good day. It started off well, mostly. I got to sleep in a bit before getting ready for class. But it quickly went downhill. I got caught up in Dan In Real Life which was playing on one of the Starz movie channels this morning, and so I was late getting to my morning class. I did the speed demon thing only to have issues with parking and THEN I get into the class room in about two minutes to when class is dismissed... EARLY. Way early. I was NOT happy. All he did was read the syllybus to the class. I can read on my own, thank you very much. BLAH!
So I went and gassed up the truck, and grabbed something to eat and drink and got to work earlier than expected, which is a better than being late thing. But I didn't realize that when the guys hooked everything up they also... *tweaked* the speakers and so we blasted out the people during the 1pm show. I fixed it for the 4pm show, but then got distracted a few times, so Jake was uber loud and blasted the eardrums of all 30+ people we had there.
Top it off, I didn't vote in the primaries tonight. I am not happy about that. I could have done it this morning at school had I thought about it, but noooooooo I didn't even think about it until Ellie asked about voting absentee. BLAH!
Oh, and I missed class tonight because I COULDN'T FIND THE CLASSROOM!
So I feel *this big* tonight and I just want to SCREAM!
