I FINALLY GET TO USE THIS ICON 8D

[kiaxet]

Disneyland Saturday! I went with uk_not_ok and lynxgriffin, so of course it was awesome. Lynx went off to do some fantastic arts, so Caitlin and I waltzed off to do rides and whatnot. Previous to going to Disneyland with Caitlin, I've never been stuck on a ride. Ever. At all.

Last time we went, we got stuck on Indy for about half an hour. They fixed the ride, let us go through again, and sent us on our merry way.

Saturday, we got stuck on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, the one ride in the entire park that I am irrationally paranoid about being stuck on. We got stuck on the third lift track. They had to get someone to "tie the car down" eeeeeeeeeeeeeek longest twenty minutes of my life before they could get us off...because yes, they shut down the ride and led everyone off. I have some fun pictures of the inside of things, and we got a shiny fastpass that would let us into anything in either park (except World of Color and Toy Story, go figure). From what I heard of a cast member conversation, someone stood up on the ride, which is an automatic shutdown.

I'm not sure quite how stupid you have to be to stand up on a ride that goes in and out of low tunnels, but there you go.

The funny part of things was posting a Facebook status from my phone talking about being stuck and, two hours later, getting a concerned text from Kristin asking if we were still stuck on the ride. I love my roomies. XD

Tower of Terror got the shiny pass thanks to the 80+ minute wait, and it is awesome as always. Also, the dragon was back at Fantasmic. I cheered like mad for that one. :Db

Note to self: ask about group rates for shiny seats at Fantasmic. Don't forget.

In other news: one of the trailers for Tr3n (YES THEY'RE MAKING A THREEQUEL OMW) that's included on the Legacy Blu-Ray set got leaked on YouTube a few days ago. It's not available anymore - Kotaku linked it and that was the end of things - but it had some pretty epic stuff, including:

- Ram's user revealed (HELLO, RAM)
- A relatively in-depth look at the Flynn Lives movement
- Alan pledging to revamp the company but saying that "baby Dillinger" has "earned his place. He can stay." (That's not going to bite everyone in the rear later. Right.)
- The press hounding Sam as he arrives at the Encom building to take his place in the circle of life as CEO. When they ask if he has any statements for the press, he just does this:

SAM FLYNN: BIGGEST. TROLL. EVER. You better believe I screamed after that one. Is it Tr3n yet?

Finally, on a much more serious note, I'm sure you've all heard about the earthquake/tsunami/reactor/volcano hellish four-step that's hit Japan in the past few days (and if you haven't, Google is your friend. Get on that. Now). help_japan is an auction community raising money for relief aid. My auctions are here and here. Please bid - if not on mine, then on other auctions you like - and/or offer something you can do for an auction. Every bit helps, and Japan needs all the help we can give it.

Every time I hear Eurythmics on the radio at work (which is, like, twice a day because the station only has about ten songs), I think of Tron! XD When is Tr3n due?

*totally not planning extended!Tron KH-canon*

(Mr Boyfriend claimed throughout Tron: Legacy that Bruce Boxleitner was actually dead, and that's why Tron isn't really seen. ¬_¬)

Can I say how cute your Disneyland in a Box auction is? That's something my mom would love.

I had a good time that day. Thank you again, so very very much. *hugs* It was really needed, and you delivered excellently. <3

(Also, lemon martinis. ^^)


I'm glad that (omg I can't believe I'm even using this name, ffs get me out of this fandom) Tronzler has his helmet on all the time. Because young!Bruce is just too babyfaced to even imagine him being sinister. Its just not possible. I really don't think the man is capable of looking evil.

And yes, Sam Flynn is a troll. Moreso than everyone that is now telling me that the cast hasn't even yet been signed for another movie. ;_;
