Ok, since we’re on the subject of lines, I got a story for you. It was only a few years ago…in the land of Disney. It was a busy day at the park, and we had been having poor luck with rides breaking down. (In fact, this wasn’t long after our Tower of Terror experience.) [...]
One of my absolute favorite things to do when riding roller coasters is to figure out where the camera is and try to get a good picture. It all started many, many, many, years ago when this guy (who would later become my brother in law), and I rode some roller coaster by the beach. [...]
Ok. I’m not making this up. That right there is the actual image associated with all of the ride warning signs at Disneyland. I snapped that photo the last time I was there. I just can’t seem to figure it out. What does it mean?? My best guess is that you are not allowed to [...]
Remember back when Pirates of the Caribbean was just an awesome ride instead of an overblown movie franchise that got really, really bad halfway through the second installment? Ahh…those were the days. The ride of course is still there, and it is still a lot fun, but it has been modified from years past. These days [...]

Could I ever live in LA? There is a growing number of people who are plotting my relocation to the Los Angeles area. They think I would enjoy living and working there. I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, there are a lot of creative opportunities down there, and I DID study film in [...]
Not long ago, I was visiting Los Angeles. While there we went to an art showing at a relative’s. I really wanted to fit into this Hollywood scene as best I could, so I put on my most expensive jeans, one of my classiest wide collared shirts, and tried to furrow my brow a lot. [...]
Planning is a critical part of any vacation. Without it, you could end up in a big city with nothing to do but go to the Justin Bieber concert. I’m not speaking from experience, that’s just one of the worst possible outcomes I could come up with.
I ♥ SF. I really do love the city. The sights, the sounds, the excitement. There’s just something magical about being there. I’m pretty thrilled that I recently moved back home to a state with a real city nearby. In fact, I’ve made it one of my goals to get better acquainted with the city [...]
