After a while of using
blosxom, we’ve switched over to
WordPress. It’s quite a bit better “out of the box,” and its plugins are more reminiscent of moveable type. However, I forgot to save my blosxom template, so I’ll have to start all over again from scratch.
In retrospect, it probably doesn’t matter because the only visitors I’ve had, so far, were googlebots. Eventually, once I get other things working the way I want them to, I’ll work on the layout and design.

Following up on Michael Neudow’s unsuccessful attempt to bar President Bush’s inaugural prayer. Someone who knows Michael or sees him in the street ought to kick him square in the nuts.

Last weekend, we took a trip down to the happiest place on Earth. Unfortunately, we didn’t bother to check the road conditions before we left, and got stuck in a massive backup at the top of the grapevine. 4 lanes of traffic merge down to 1. Five and a half miles. Four hours. No Detour. No alternate route. Pulled into the hotel at 4:15, almost in time to get up for the 9:00 opening of Disneyland.
We made it over, our first trip of the 2005, where the Haunted Mansion and Small World were still closed for the return to non-holiday decorations. Made it over to Pooh Corner, where they have possibly the most perfect diabetic nightmare ever concocted. Imagine 2 or 3 large marshmallows on a stick. Dip it in caramel. Dip it in an orange flavored and colored sugar creme. Now, make a couple of lines across it with chocolate: the Tigger Tail. Almost 100% sugar, but good. This time, we picked up 8.
While we were there, though, we learned that Space Mountain isn’t just closed for “refurbishment,” it’s been completely gutted and recreated. I hope they keep that giant orbiting cookie. Additionally, The Walt Disney Story, featuring “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln” will be closing in February for two years. In it’s place will be a museum for the 50th anniversary of Disneyland. Maybe they’re unthawing Uncle Walt?
We came home exhausted, then we all got sick. Whoopie! I still have this rattling cough, but no expectorating (which you can’t do on the bus, by the way).

Over the weekend, we rented Anchorman. Got to say, that is $3.79 (plus tax) and 104 minutes I’ll never have again. If you’re in the “Saturday Night Live is funny” group, you will probably like this piece of crap. Honestly, though, I rented it because of Ricky Stratton’s prom date, Christina Applegate.

I heard recently that a report noted that kids drinking milk from a jug drink more milk than those who drink out of the cardboard carton. Maybe its because the cartons are getting smaller. I remember when they used to be a full half pint. Got one the other day, and it was a “one-third” pint. Maybe it’s because those tetrapacks don’t have a little hole for easy straw access. Or, maybe it’s because most people look dorky with a straw sticking out of a milk carton.

Just read that Target’s 4th quarter sales are expected to fall short of expected revenues. Partly because of the national Clergy boycott due to Target’s banning of Salvation Army bell ringers in front of its stores.
Target prides itself on its community giving, but apparently doesn’t want people to decide to give themselves.
We took a stab at the after Christmas sales and walked through the day after Christmas. There was nary the Christmas decoration. The day after Christmas, no decorations, not even a snowman nor a snowflake. I find that to be offensive to me. No returns or exchanges without receipt, and only within 90 days of purchase. Sounds like the kind of place where they think only athiests purchase things and only thieves and robbers return things. Since I’m neither, I guess I won’t shop there, and I encourage you not to, either.
Target is so afraid of “offending” those 2% of shoppers that are actually offended by Christmas that they wish to alienate the 83% of shoppers that look forward to Christmas. I’m offended, and I’ll choose to do my shopping elsewhere from now on.
