No joke, someone actually tried to smuggle birds into the US from Vietnam. That in itself isn’t too interesting, but the manner in which he did it truly shows some imagination…the man strapped the birds to his legs! He was detained at the airport after someone noticed feathers falling out of his pants. LOL can you imagine seeing this?
Lately I’ve been on a Marilyn Manson kick. I’ve always loved him and own most of his albums, but I’ve just been in the mood for some angry music lately. And what could be better than some Marilyn Manson? I definitely also appreciate that the Circus tour included Manson’s cover of Sweet Dreams. Fucking GREAT!
He has a new album coming out May 26, We’re from America. It’s gonna be great. He’s touring, and there is a very large piece of me that wants to find a show this summer, but there’s also an equal sized part of me that is scared of what might transpire at a Marilyn Manson concert. It will be under consideration for the time-being!
Nothing is better than a random trip to the Magic Kingdom! Sadly I couldn’t be with my niece this time and witness the shear joy that is being a toddler at your Mecca. Oh well. On the bright side, the park was surprisingly empty for it being a weekend in Spring. I <3 short lines! I also learned some interesting things. For instance
♦ Disneyland pays $10,000 per day on their fireworks show. 10 grand!! It amazes me.
♦ During this performance the person who is dressed as Tinkerbell and flying through the air receives an extra $5 “hazard pay” because she is more than 13 feet off the ground. I don’t know, but that doesn’t really seem worth it.
♦ The current fireworks show is being phased out on June 12. They’re replacing it with an all new one that includes a flying Dumbo. I don’t know about you, but I’m incredibly excited at the prospect of seeing someone dressed as an elephant, hanging from a wire more than 13 feet above the ground. I sincerely hope they don’t make it a projected image. I am grateful that I got to see the current show one last time before it leaves.
And on another note, I did see some people protecting themselves from Swine Flu (or maybe protecting us from their infectious disease?):
Really, what’s not to like about a SARS mask? LOL
As summer quickly approaches, I find myself getting more and more excited. Of course I have that totally awesome trip to go on, but to make it extra sweet I’m going to at least 5 different concerts. It’s going to be fantastic!!
Of course there’s Miss Britney and her Circus, a local radio station summer music festival (well I don’t know about festival, but it’s going to be spectacular), No Doubt, 311, and this just in – Green Day just announced a tour! If I can find the funds I’m also going to add Tool, Kings of Leon, and Metallica to that list. I can’t freaking wait!! 
If anyone hears of any others, I’m probably down. Some of these are road trips, so clearly I’m willing to make the drive to see an awesome band!
I don’t know what made me think of this today, but I truly love Bubb Rubb and Lil Sis. Anyone who incorporates WOO WOO into regular conversation is a special human being in my opinion.
“That’s only in the morning. You supposed to be up cooking breakfast for somebody and so that’s like an alarm clock” LOL! And the best part happens at 1:35. Almost hitting a parked car AND running a stop sign. Classic!
