Mickeyroni & More Souvenirs

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

So, without further ado, the rest of the souvenirs Tal and I brought back with us from Disneyland.

I also used one of the fancy computerized art ordering kiosk deals at the Disney Gallery to order a print of the map of Disneyland in 1959, it should be arriving in the next week or so. I plan to get it framed and then hang it beautifully from my wall for all (at least Tal and I) to admire.

A trip to the grocery store

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

So a revised post of Disneyland sourvenirs is coming very soon, but first is this random post about my trip to the grocery store yesterday.

I have a US mailbox to receive Amazon and eBay and stuff, and when I get my mail from there I always go to the grocery store. American grocery stores are so much cooler than Canadian ones. They seem to stock products that you will never see in Canada. And there’s no french packaging! Here are some highlights of what I picked up yesterday:

DISNEYLAND IS STILL AWESOME!

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

So, here is the promised Disneyland trip report.

Chantal and I went to Disneyland October 10th to the 14th. I found an unbelievably cheap flight and hotel combo through expedia.ca and the holiday weekend was the perfect time to go. We did have to fly out of Seattle again to get the super-cheap price, but it was worth a two hour drive.

So Saturday morning we get up bright and early to make it to Seattle for our flight, a slight detour at the border later we make it to the airport. Now comes that catch to our super-cheap trip, our first flight is not to Anaheim and the home of Disneyland, it is to Salt Lake City and the home of the Tabernacle Choir. So we had a couple of hours to kill in Utah before we could continue on our way to the mecca that is Disneyland.

BttF!

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

So I made some changes here, I switched from blogger to wordpress blogging. I imported all the old posts and comments, but I will no longer import to facebook (so you have to check here, or subscribe to the RSS feed at the bottom).

I’m working on a post about my last trip to Disneyland with Tal, but in the meantime:

I’m going back, back to the future! Not really, but I do have a DeLorean now.

DeLorean

Months and months ago I along with my usual comic books I also ordered this awesome sounding DeLorean replica toy made by Diamond Select.  I was originally thinking of giving it to my friend Dave for his birthday, but the price increased and the ship date was delayed, so instead he got a fullsize replica of the OUTTATIME license plate. Finally last week I received my miniature time machine. And it truly is amazing, as you can see in this video:
