Karin and I took a quick trip up to Disneyland yesterday to check out the holiday decorations on main street and to see what they did with the Haunted Mansion for this Christmas season.
As expected the entire Haunted Mansion ride was made up for the holidays. From the stretch paintings in the elevator to the replacement of the mini-bride on the wall at the end of the ride Christmas ruled the happy hauntings of this favorite ride. This was by far the highlight of our day, and was well worth the entrance price to Disneyland.
Here’s a cover scan of the updated map handed out at the entrance of the park. Click on it to embiggen…
On a side note, as we walked around the park we noticed a man holding a blue Matchbox car, cradling his open palmed hand with his free hand. Occasionally he would bring the car up to his face and whisper something to the car, then hold it out to whatever he thought was interesting so the car could get a better look.
I asked Karin what she thought this man’s day typically consisted of, and she replied that we should be more concerend with what he was carrying around in his backpack. “With those sort of people, you never know what they’re packing,” she said to me. True…

12am and I’m slipping into unconsciousness in my nice warm bed when my Black Berry suddenly begins to vibrate wildly, jostling me back into cruel, vivid reality. I reach over and press the glowing pearl to silence the obnoxious clatter, certain that a “code red” emergency must have occurred at work, but upon inspection am greeted by the following e-mail from a co-worker:
Gentlemen ! Thanks all. We as a team(All) did what we always do ? Kick A– ! Remember ! NT Admin’s, not

Okay, this message gets bonus points for being the most entertaining e-mail I’ve received all year, but it also serves as a prime example why one does not mix alcohol and text messaging. It’s well known that Clark (his name has been changed to protect th^H^H^H ah…what the hell. His real name is Clive) loves his tequila. He also loves him some football. When you mix the two together then throw in modern technology you’re bound to receive some glorious e-mails, especially when his team wins a Thursday night game in overtime.
…and I’m still wondering why I didn’t get the “game ball” for the work I did during last night’s release.
