Matthew Morrison Tuesdays-- I mean Glee

Tuesday nights marks the return of Matthew Morrison visiting my apartment. Happy days are here again!

This bad boy was found in Kristin and Naomi's Cosmo magazine one morning. If this were a real DVD, every woman in America would be buying multiple copies. Multiple.

Fabulous!

Safe-D Begins with "Tree"

Time and time again, we are vehemently explained the dangers in texting on our phones.

Don't do it while driving.

Don't do it while walking.

As a matter of fact, just drop it all together. I hear Morse Code is coming back into style.

But alas, these dangers were demonstrated when, on Friday night, a distracted cast member was allegedly texting on the blackberry and fell on the three meager stairs leading into our building.

Never have it said that Disney is not concerned about safety of its cast. By Monday morning, there were two rows of thick bushes lining the center of the walkway to force cast members to use the handrails. Some shy from the rails in defiance, tempting fate by walking through the puddles the constant watering of the bushes creates. Some now cling to the rails to ensure that the same will never happen in their lives, regardless of whether or not the company phone is in use.

By Wednesday, there was rebellion in the air as ribbons and ornaments were placed into the thick branches.

If these are still here in December, I vote to gather around singing Christmas cheer for all to hear!

Honor the Pirate Code

Ahoy, ye scurvy dog!

Today celebrates "Talk Like a Pirate Day!" Hope you have been practicing those "arrrghs," "ahoys," and "yo-hos!"

In order to best prepare for the best possible pirate, we are joined by Mac, Jack Sparrow's trusty second, who sheds light on proper pirate conduct.


It's a Pirate Life for Me!

Africa, Asia, Avatar...Oh My!

Animal Kingdom...Home to the elegant and free elephants, the birds of wonder, the monstrous yeti...

And Avatar?

Today, Disney CEOs announced a new addition to the Animal Kingdom theme park. It will not be a different part of the world yet to be explored, or even a part of the tangible world itself. It will be a world that comes strictly from a piece of (though brilliantly created) fiction. Construction for the newest land inside Disney's Animal Kingdom begins in 2013, bringing guests into the fantastical world as portrayed in James Cameron's film.

This deal is made in order to bring new generations in to the parks and learn other messages in the conservation battle. It is said to inspire those in order to pique interest on the movie as well as the land.

I know that the movie was apparently amazing (I should probably take this as fate stepping in and telling me to finally watch it). I know that it is the underlying message of conserving and saving the earth. I know that Avatar is scheduled for not one--but two sequels. Probably more with commercial success.

But really? This is the way to bring movies back into the theme parks?
