Reality Remixed: Like Disco Lemonade
What better place than here?
What better time than now?

So here I am, sitting poolside at Disney's Yacht & Beach Club... checking e-mail & blogging. Because I'm addicted to the Internet, okay? I admit it. I went four whole days traveling and running around Disney World without computer access, and it got to the point where I actually had to haul my laptop over to another hotel because mine didn't have high-speed 'Net access, the Luddite bastards. So I went over to Y&B, which has WiFi of all things. I'm sure I look more than just a wee bit odd, being that I am the only person in the pool area, it's after 11pm Eastern, and I'm sitting here with my computer and dressed for something most definitely other than pool activities. Ahem. By the way, welcome to all of you coming from Flavorpill LA, who apparently has picked me of all people -- a non-native L.A. resident -- to represent the Los Angeles blogging world. They've described me as "meta-fun." And welcome also to those of you coming from L.A. Blogs, who referenced the Flavorpill link. Those of you who know me in person may now pick yourselves off the floor from laughing so hard upon reading the fact that I'm "meta-fun." You know I am, you bastards. So, down to brass tacks. Let's talk about this vacation I'm supposedly on, no? Okay, first thing's first -- Alamo gave us a Saturn Ion. This car, while it handles pretty well and the ride is smooth... well, there's no other way to say it. It's a freakish car. The dashboard readout is in the middle of the car. I mean, it's not in front of the driver, it's between the driver and the passenger. Which is disconcerting for those of us who drive, say, EVERY OTHER CAR AVAILABLE IN AMERICA? This also causes problems for those who have side-seat drivers in the car and like to keep tabs on what the driver's doing from the passenger seat. Of course, I had to get this picture taken while I was at Universal Studios on Sunday. Back to the Future is only my second-all-time favorite film (it was the first until The Matrix supplanted it), so here's me with the DeLorean from the movie. Mmmmm... DeLooooooorean... [insert Homer Simpson drooling noise here] A lot's changed at Disney since I was here last. We went to the Animal Kingdom yesterday, and I have to say that aside from seeing some animals that aren't in the savannah area around the Animal Kingdom Lodge, staying at the Lodge itself was a more interesting experience than going into Animal Kingdom. There were giraffes and zebras and gazelles and wildebeests and giant freakin' cattle with horns that literally weighed 50 pounds on each side standing right outside my room's terrace! Lest you don't believe me, I have pictures. The first three were taken from the terrace, the last was taken from an overlook area extending out from the hotel's lobby. We pretty much blew through most of EPCOT today -- Test Track and Mission: Space were really cool. Unfortunately, I didn't take too many pictures, and they're still on the camera. Tomorrow is Magic Kingdom and Thursday is Disney-MGM. I hope to get online at least once more before I leave here, but if not, you'll just have to wait until I get home on Saturday. And remember, folks -- the Internet may be addictive, but it's less harmful than crack. Because crack is wack, yo. Whitney Houston told me that.
