pulling a nancy
If you ever have to set an enddate with an employer, make sure and do it just before a great conversation piece. Like a trip to disneyland.
That's right, if you are paying attention to my plazes location, I have just claimed disneyland grand californian resort as a "plaze" and I still can't find my hotel room without a map. Ah, technology.
Our hotel room is such that if we were adept at jumping out our window, we would be inside the grand californian theme park. Specifically, at a location which has a bar and a cutesy shop and a band. I am not sure whether this is representative of the park yet. The band is not bad, however, it is 10pm. The environment they have manufactured is ok, but makes me wonder why people would spend 59 bucks to have an environment simulated for them that allows them to spend money. However that is not the right attitude for disney. One must be in a place to admire the simulation. As in all digital mediums, simulation works best when simulating something manufactured, such as a bug's life, or toy story. You can't simulate old world europe. Hard to simulate noise.
Anyway, it has been a very stressful few months and especially weeks. To get on a plane and expect to "relax" on queue is preposterous. I feel the need for a project. The one I am attempting tomorrow may include, trying not to spend every cent in my wallet, or trying to live off of the vegetable juice I brought which includes never eating at the hotel "snack bar" again. It's all fun and games until you realize you just spent $30 on zero nutrition and stomachaches for four. The other side is, how quickly can one person go from stress queen to one-with-the-vacation. Yes, please charge it to my room. Oh you do offer a 90 minute massage? And yes, why not the park hopper, you never know I might feel like walking a hundred miles in one day.
Anyway, stay tuned, the magic will unfold, and possibly we will sleep before the band finishes up.
