Vacation

Since I was away for two weeks you get TWICE THE COMICS!! Plus commentary that you probably will go tl;dr.



Disney World
-The first and probably most memorable thing that happened while attending the four parks was at Hollywood studios. The weather in Florida is hot, humid, and rather spontaneous in that randomly, while me and my sister were walking across the park, it started raining. At the time we were going to the Hotel Elevator ride which seems distinctly the same as the one in a particular park closer to where we live, but we decided to cancel when we realized the line was waiting outside and we didn’t want to get soaked while waiting in line. So we got a fast pass and decided to go to another ride except that was outside as well! So we loafed around like idiots.
-Then the rain stopped. Then we went on the ride. I think the ghosty people are supposed to be scary but the little girl was cute! I’d get lured into the twilight zone that way…
-The funny thing was that, when we went back to the hotel elevator ride with our fast pass it wasn’t raining, but then when we went in it had apparently started raining. So when we were in the elevator at the top, we had a split second to notice it was raining and say/think “IT’S RAINING” before we became concerned on… more pressing issues. Like falling down.
-Aside from that, we watched lots of shows. In some car stunt show the main guy looked like my boss in my lab. It was awkward. :V
-The Animal park (I forgot the name) and the Magic Kingdom park wasn’t too particularly exciting. In fact Magic Kingdom was pretty much all the rides exactly the same as Disneyland. Except for Splash mountain, which seemed to have a completely different plotline than the one at Disneyland. What? :V
-We watched some president’s show which was pretty cool in Magic Kingdom. I learned Baraak Obama had to serve jury duty while being a president. That would be awkward. Especially if you disagreed with the president’s opinion on jury. Oh the things you learn in Disney World!
-Epcot was my favorite park. It’s sciencey and all the rides and shows are pretty much different from what you see in the parks here. Except “Soaring” which we went on here. And over there. So we went from California to Florida to ride on a ride that takes us back to California. Wonderful. :V
- But Epcot had a 30 MINUTE RIDE with BILL NYE (and some other comedian named Ellen) now THAT WAS AWESOME.
-It also had a greenhouse ride where you rode through a greenhouse. ISN’T THAT EXCITEMENT. Almost made me interested in botany. Almost. :V
-Also Epcot is the best park because 90% of it is indoors. The rest is some world showcase thing where it has pretty buildings from other countries. And Mexico has a ripoff version of Small World. Somehow I found that appropriate. And I learned things about Canada. Like, uh… a lot of actors are from Canada.

-ON TO FIREWORKS. Epcot also had the best fireworks show. I thought it was cool how most of the fireworks were just over the water instead of high in the air. AND THEY HAVE AN HDTV GLOBE SPHERE THING. Although the quality of the video wasn’t as great as I thought it would be. Either that or I was just too far away to notice.



Carnival Cruises
-Really it wasn’t that exciting. It was here I realized that my ideal vacation is what I’ve been doing every weekend for the past year or longer already and that involves sitting in front of the computer doing whatever I find fancies me. I can’t even do this here… well family time isn’t bad. We played cards. Cards is good.
-The comic basically sums up my shore excusion attempts. Although we DID get to go on a submarine ride in Cozumel where we saw coral! In blue. In everything blue. Everything so blue that even when I closed my eyes and covered it all I could see is red because my blue cones burned out so anything not blue my brain now interpreted it as red.
-I read books. The first book I attempted to read was this “13 unsolved mysteries in science” which I eventually thought their arguments were weak and not concretely supported. At first it seemed cool though. But then it started to look like a bunch of bs…  The other was some dilbert business thing and I gained a lot of insight into how business works. Yes lots of insight. :V
-The cruise had a “chocolate buffet” on one of their days. I never saw so much chocolate stuff in my life. Except they didn’t have Chocolate Mousse (my favorite) or chocolate covered strawberries (2nd favorite). ARE YOU SERIOUS
-Also on the last day we went to Kennedy Space Center which when abbreviated appears like a popular fast food chain. My dad really liked it. I thought it was an immense amount of propaganda. Not that that’s really bad, but they make everything seem so… dramatic. Even though I’m pretty sure its not exactly that exciting. But hey they’re losing funding in some parts so they need to make their stuff look good, I suppose.

-Then we went home and took another kind of vacation. :V
