This poor woman in Long Beach, CA, recently one of her show quality silky terriers was killed. It is insane the world that we live in. I have a small dog, Max, and when we lived in San Diego we had problems with the neighboors saying that he barked constantly. One day, I had stayed home from work and Max was in with me all day. My neighboor came over to tell me that if I didn't "shut my dog up, he was going to kill it." I tried to tell him that Max had been in the house with me all day. So it couldn't have been him. ever since then I was very careful to watch for strange things in my yard. And we moved out shortly after that. This is a crazy world and it isn't right that peoples pets should have to suffer because people can't be civil.
That is all...

Chronicles Of Narnia coming to the BIG Screen a la LOTR style
For those of you that are C.S. Lewis fans or just loved the LOTR series and are witing for another EPIC, your wating now has a goal. The Chronicles Of Narnia; The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe. (LW andW) Disney and WETA are doing the first in the series and has optioned the entire 7 book series to be movies. WETA is the company that did the visuals for LOTR, they are responsible for the character creation, the weapons and all the visual stuff not done in the computer.
From what I can tell, they have combined an all star cast and a whole flock of newbies to do this picture. As I said Disney is financing this venture, however as of yet it is not being billed as Disney's Chronicles of Narnia, so it is entirely possible that it is being produced by a disney holding company, does that mean it will have a higher than pg rating? To do it well is to include all the parts of the book including the killing of Aslan and the several battles between good and evil. One can hope that this live action version will be on par with LOTR, we all know this book is capable of it.
That is all for now... I will keep you updated..

Warning Disney Freak
This is just a little warning, I am a bit of a Disney fanatic, child at heart, big kid, all of that. Disneyland is one of my favorite places on the planet. I forget about all my problems, worries and whatever and just act like a kid again. Which as I get older is getting harder and harder. I have a new found respect for my step-father, who always went on the Matterhorn Bobsled ride with us kids. Here is where the respect comes in, my step dad is considerably larger than I am, last time Alex and I were at Disneyland we went on the Matterhorn. We were squished in, every turn, corner, dip and drop, I was slammed into Alex's legs, and my legs were folded up in front of me, so mine got slammed into the hand rail and everything else. I don't know how James did it all those years, except maybe that the person sharing his seat was a five year old.
Wow, the things you remember, I just remembered that the reason i liked the Submarine ride soooo much is probably the same reason my parents dreaded it. It was small, like I was, and they weren't. It must have been terribly clostraphobic ( I know I spelled that wrong) for them.
Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming of Cookies and Milk.

The trip to Club 33
OH MY GOD. It was soooo fabulous.
When alex and i got together, he (like many people) had no idea what Club 33 was. For those of you scratching your head. Club 33 is a relatively high class restaraunt inside Disneyland. It is above the Blue Bayou in the Franch Quarter. It has a secret entrance and a very expensive membership, as well as a two year waiting list. Alex has a friend who is friends with somone who is a member and got us in last July, for dinner.
For most people dining in Club 33 is a once in a lifetime event. I have gotten to do it twice now. When I turned 18 a friend of the family arranged for me and my family to have lunch at Club 33. Then I wasn't there for the food. Which was good, I was there for the experience. Which was unforgettable. (Even though I can't remember everything) This time I actually remember everything. I was like a visual, emotional sponge. I soaked up everything I could, took pictures of everything and got to watch Fantasmic from the balcony of Club 33. (the view was through the trees, but still, from the balcony.)
We had a five course meal, with appetizers, salad, main dish, cheese plate, and (to die for) chocolate mouse with Gran Marnier. We all had a drink with or after dinner. I had Frangelico and coffee, alex had a mohito (he is cuban afterall).
Our reservations were for 7:30pm. and we pretty much closed the park. It was so wonderful, the people, the dinner, the evening. If I could change anything about it, I would have remembered my dress shoes, and pressed everything the night before.
I want to do it every year, Alex says once a decade would do him. So I think we will probably do it about once every five years.
