Well, I am officially posting this update from my Dashboard on Mac OS X via WordPressDash. This week has been one that is both up and down with things going on among my group of friends with relationships as well as a full week so far at work and preparing for my Guest Relations Interview tomorrow. I am currently printing off my resumé on nice paper, reviewing all the company information (stock price, news, etc) and getting my suit and pins ready for tomorrow morning. Yesterday I picked up a shift at Test Track Merchandise and was able to meet up with my mentors over at MouseGear for some last minute advice and prep for the interview which was so great of them to do for me.

Moving on from work, I am just relaxing at home this morning waiting for Patrick to get out of school so we can head to the parks and relax a bit. Parks are finally slowing down so it isn’t as jam packed as it has been all summer long. Other than that, there isn’t really much more to report from my end. Feel free to dropme a line.

Well folks, I know it has been a LONG time since I posted. There is a reason though, and that is called six-day work weeks! Yes folks, that is right, yours truly has been working 48-52 hours in the past couple of weeks to cover the casting shortages we are having. The good news is that this week is the last of it. About the only thing keeping me sane at work is Baloo and King Louie who like to give me a hard time when they go out on sets. I love you guys and Louie, I’m sorry but your bananas still haven’t arrived. Speaking of work, I am still waiting on Guest Relations. I have been told that they had a lot of qualified people apply and they are still deciding on a list for those to interview. So stay tuned.

Also keeping me sane has been my only day off these weeks where I get to hang out with my friends. Patrick and I have had the chance to catch up on these days and hit the parks till the others get out and we can meet up for dinner or a movie. Sometimes though, I don’t know how they all can put up with me because I am so stressed at work and can sometimes let it come to us hanging out. Oh well, we all still get along and are looking forward to the Disneyland trip in October.

What else is going on, umm Patrick and I saw the 40-Year Old Virgin last night. It’s a funny movie but I don’t see it as a movie I would go see more than once. It was a nice evening considering we both had a horrible day at work. Well, I’m going to get back to chatting online with people so if you are on AIM, shoot me a message. That’s it for now.

Sorry for the lack of updates folks. I have been busy with work and well, there really isn’t much new to report. The posting for Guest Relations has closed and I am now waiting to find out if I will get an interview and move on to the next step. Monday morning, I also found out that I did make the sign-up and I am again a member of the Candlelight Processional Cast Choir (pending the completion of 10 rehearsals). Speaking of Candlelight, I also ran in to my friend Mark at the Magic Kingdom while he was on a VIP Tour with a family from Extreme Makeover – Home Edition and we finally found some time to meet up and catch up since we haven’t hung out since like March.

Today was my only day off this week since we are on six-day work weeks with the College Program students leaving and new ones arriving. It’s not too fun but hey, next week I have four morning shifts in strollers. 7:30 am to 4:00 pm baby! I managed to sleep in finally and then catch up on cleaning around the apartment like laundry and such. This afternoon I met up with Patrick after he got out of school and we went to Disney’s Animal Kingdom for a bit and then off to catch Wedding Crashers at AMC-Pleasure Island. It’s a funny movie and worth going to go see (sorry, I’m not the best at reviews).

Now, I am just relaxing at home before going to bed and then back to work tomorrow morning. Feel free to leave a comment or shoot me a message.

Howdy folks. I am just relaxing at home today. I spent the day with my friend Patrick yesterday and we did Disney-MGM studios before heading to Epcot for a short bit and then shopping at the Mall. I finally got my watch resized at Fossil since my wrist is shrinking I swear. For those that haven’t seen me in awhile, I have lost about 35-40 pounds since graduation last May and it seems like I am keeping it off too! After the mall, we came back to my place to watch a movie and then ended up meeting up with Joe, Travis and Paul to go see Wishes and Spectromagic at the Magic Kingdom before calling it a night.

This week has also started off with a some exciting news. 1) I have officially signed up for the 2005 Candlelight Processional. I will find out August 8 if I make it in again. 2) I have applied for a role in Guest Relations at the Walt Disney World Resort. This is the role that I want and have been working for. The application process lasts a month so I will keep everyone posted. Well, back to relaxing. That’s the short update for now.

Well, our internet was back yesterday. Turns out a cable on the outside of our building had been cut and that is why we lost cable and all that goes with it. Oh well. Work is going well and I am finalizing my resume for Guest Relations to have it ready to post on Monday. Not much else going on though. Sorry so short.

Well folks, I am on day two of no internet or cable at home and BrightHouse for some reason isn’t coming very fast to come fix the problem. Oh well. I have been off the last two days and go back to work tomorrow. Yesterday I slept in and did some work around the house before going over to Joe’s and Paul’s for movie night. Today, I slept in again and I went off to Disney-MGM Studios before coming here to the Magic Kingdom where I am meeting up with Patrick for the night when he gets off of work. Not much else new to report really. More updates once my internet is back.

Well, I was reading through my RSS feeds and noticed that Wil Wheaton had an interesting title on on article. Only after reading it had I discovered that one of my favorite Star Trek characters, Scotty, had passed away this morning. Below is the information that Wil provided:

LOS ANGELES — James Doohan, the burly chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise in the original “Star Trek” TV series and motion pictures who responded to the command “Beam me up, Scotty,” died early Wednesday. He was 85.

Doohan died at 5:30 a.m. at his Redmond, Wash., home with his wife of 28 years, Wende, at his side, Los Angeles agent and longtime friend Steve Stevens said. The cause of death was pneumonia and Alzheimer’s disease, he said.

In the words of Mr. Spock, Live Long and Prosper Mr Doohan

Moving on from the new car, last night Patrick and I met up after work and headed over to the AMC at Pleasure Island and caught the 10:15 show of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Patrick really wanted to see the movie and I had to admit that it looked good from the previews. I wasn’t a huge Tim Burton fan after the Nightmare before Christmas so I didn’t know what to expect. With out giving much away, I really enjoyed the movie. It was cute and unlike the original, it followed the book fairly accurately. What I did miss though as the music from the old version. Something about a good catchy song like I’ve got a Golden Ticket or Pure Imagination just seemed to be missing from this version. Very good film though. Go see it if you haven’t or if you missed it because you were waiting for the new Harry Potter book to come out. You wont regret this one.

Well, It has been like almost a week since I last posted. A lot is going on right now in my life. I have been busy with hanging out with friends, going to movies, making plans for Disneyland, and work. This past couple of days have been very busy at the Magic Kingdom as one can expect on a holiday weekend. The park closed for a few hours on Monday but other than that, all went well. As soon as I got out of work, I waited for Patrick to finish over at Outdoor Foods and then the two of us headed over to Epcot to meet up with Travis, Paul, Johnnie and Caroline. Started off with a Dos XX in Mexico and then just walked the World Show case until it was time for Illuminations: Reflections of Earth with a special Tag for the 4th of July. Let’s just say that for those that saw last years Holiday Tag, you will know what to expect. Didn’t see them, check out the following post from the archives:

Simply amazing as usual. No one can top WDW Fireworks for the holidays it seems. After the show, we went off to Travis’ condo in Celebration for home-made chili by our host. Travis, great job on the chili. It was great. I’ll have to get the recipe from you.

Yesterday, I was off and was supposed to have a meeting at work but the meeting was cancelled due to some people being sick so I went and got my haircut instead and killed time walking the Emporium and Main Street USA until Patrick got there. We did a couple of rides at Magic Kingdom and then we headed off to Disney-MGM Studios for the evening and got a nice dinner at the 50s Prime Time Cafe. It’s a cute place but I still like Wilderness Lodge better. After that, we ended up coming back to my place and jsut relaxed and watched some TV and movies before calling it a night. It was a lot of fun.

As for today, I am waiting for my roommate to clear out of the shower so I can get ready myself and then I am off to Classic Honda to take a look at some new cars before my meeting today at Pleasure Island with the Ops Manager for Guest Relations. Well, I’m out for now.
