mrv3000: made by elismor (disneyland - pumpkin goofy)

Is it the weekend yet?

It's getting towards fall, and so I'm getting the urge to go to Disneyland again. Summertime is pretty much off-limits for me. Heat + crowds = hell on earth. The only time I've broken down and gone during the summer was on the day of its 50th birthday.

I'm kinda craving a giant corn dog again. The kind you get at DCA. The kind as big as [livejournal.com profile] poohmusings' head. Also, haven't been on the new Finding Nemo ride yet.

Wonder if they've got a new plastic coffee mug design going now. I have a tendency to pick one of those up when I leave the park - coffee for the ride home. But the latest "[something] of Dreams" was a lame design. Hopefully they'll switch out for Halloween/fall.

Can't wait to see the pumpkin decorations again. I think I like those decorations better than the Christmas decorations (which were starting to look a bit sad last year, and need to be replaced.) Wonder if the pumpkins will appear after Labor Day. Well, as soon as it cools down a bit, I might need to go investigate.

You know, one of these days I should really try Blue Bayou (the restaurant in the PotC ride.) I always wind up at the Wine Country Trattoria in DCA though, which [livejournal.com profile] poohmusings, [livejournal.com profile] nandamai and I discovered a few years back. (During the trip of the infamous [livejournal.com profile] diavestra & son shakedown of [livejournal.com profile] elismor of $20.) I really like the food they have there (plus wine with the meal), but I suppose I should do Blue Bayou once, just to say I've done it.







And I don't wish to alarm anyone, especially [livejournal.com profile] goldy_dollar, but...

RTD says DT's staying for all of S4

Well, we all know what THAT means, right? OMG HE'LL BE GONE BY EP 3!!!! *FLAILS*

I also heard a rumor that RTD might possibly be backpedaling on the Jack = Face of Boe thing, but haven't seen an actual source on that. Don't be Jossing mah fic, you plot-hole loving nutter!

Heh. You know, you really can't call what RTD does "Jossing," as it's in a class all its own. It's RTDing.
    RTD: *does something cracktastic in canon*

    Me: o_O

    RTD: *contradicts himself five times and lies twice in an interview, possibly negating cracktasticness*

    Me: O_O

    RTD: *throws more kittens on DT to cover up new plot hole even crackier than what's come before*

    Me: Okay, that's cute, but I'm still questioning...

    RTD: *throws in Rose reference*

    Me: \o/
I'm so easy.

Why do I have the feeling you just summed up the whole of S4 already?

[flails a little too] And that's the thing--DT may be staying, yes. But will he be playing the Doctor during all of s4? With RTD's cracktasticness, who knows?

I also heard a rumor that RTD might possibly be backpedaling on the Jack = Face of Boe thing, but haven't seen an actual source on that. Don't be Jossing mah fic, you plot-hole loving nutter!

I'm still shaking my head on that one. Perhaps it'll just get written off as a joke?

Heh. You know, you really can't call what RTD does "Jossing," as it's in a class all its own. It's RTDing.

Well, getting Jossed isn't something that reflects on any special ability of Joss's. It just meant that the story took a turn that made your fic AU, like really AU. But RTD, it's like he has some special kind of keyboard that turns whatever he writes into utter crack. He really is in a league of his own, as you said.

Mwah.

The Blue Bayou was actually pretty good. The spaghetti was amazing. Mom, Sister and I went last time we were in Disneyland (sadly enough, 1996). I remember that up until Mom told us we were eating there, I had always thought that it was a bunch of animatronic robots and not a real restaurant. Hey, I'd been there only once before when I was 4/5. GIVE ME A BREAK.

*brain starts melting*

It could be. Probably RTD finally *looked* at a picture of Boe and realized that he had tentacles and such and so perhaps maybe it didn't make as much sense as he once thought... :D

Right right. Not only does your fic become AU, there's a giant ball of WEIRD that comes with it. :D

Sadly, looks like that's not on the menu anymore.

AWWW! *pinches your cheeks*

[identity profile] scifijunkie.livejournal.com 2007-08-23 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, it's gotten super expensive. I don't think it was nearly that expensive when we went. Going off that, I would get either the Mahi-Mahi or the Chicken. Maybe the Filet Mignon.

AWWW! *pinches your cheeks*

Yes. I was an odd child.

RTD: DT is going to be there for all of S4! *drops ambiguous hint about 2008 Christmas special* *winks and slides off, cackling and rubbing hands together*
All of Doctor Who fandom: Well. Fuck.

Heh. You know, you really can't call what RTD does "Jossing," as it's in a class all its own. It's RTDing.

HA! I think we should adopt that as our new catch-word: "This fic is on so much crack, it's RTDing. Whoa."

WHAT. WHY DO YOU ALL KEEP SAYING THINGS LIKE THIS.

Between you and [Bad username or site: principia_coh / @ livejournal.com] going on about Master!Tennant, I'm slowly getting closer to that nervous breakdown.

*reaches for the alcohol*

I, too, am anxiously awaiting the cooler weather in order to plan a Dland jaunt. And now that you mention it, a corndog sounds really good. Like now. Now, actually, would be a good day to go to Dland as it's not too hot....pity we're both stuck at work.

It has, hasn't it? Yikes. I'd probably get the Monte Cristo sandwich, just because it's basically an insititution there.

Yes. I was an odd child.

Well, I thought the Adventure Thru Inner Space ride actually shrunk you...

Oh dear. I vote RTD retracts his statement immediatley.

*flails a bit*

That's not cool dammit. Not. Cool.

But I love the Face of Boe thing! It totally broke my brain the first time I watched it (I watched the finale arc straight when I got home from Jordan, so by the end I was all "OVERLOAD *criz*").

Fortunately, I don't really care one way or another about this show (it's just too damn tiring!), so it's all good.

That's *exactly* it.

If RTD's actually telling the truth (fool me 11 times, shame on you; fool me 12 or more times, shame on me) about DT staying through S4, I smell TCI-type "introduce the new Doctor" Christmas ep.

HA! I think we should adopt that as our new catch-word: "This fic is on so much crack, it's RTDing. Whoa."

And it *totally* would catch on. :D

Ohhhh. We should start planning our October adventures! Depending on whether you can take the time off work and where my work conference is going to be, I might be able to spend more than a weekend with you! Shall email with much squee. :)

It *would* be a great day for Disneyland and a corn dog. Hmm. Don't think I can get a corn dog anywhere.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2007-08-23 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. DT's almost certain to leave mid-S4 now, isn't he?

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2007-08-23 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
The Face of Boe thing actually makes my head hurt if I think about it too much. And I think you're right about actually *caring* about this show being exhausting.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2007-08-23 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
YES! More days?? YAAAAAAY! And OMG, if we do the hotel thing again, that means we only have TWO MONTHS TO PLAN!! *FLAILS*

*sob*

I'm sure I will like Eleven very much, but at this point I'm preemptively hating him. It's a thing. *stews in own madness*

And it *totally* would catch on. :D

Hee! I'm so tempted to write something really crack, just so I can tack that warning on. *G*

I have a friend who is watching (unspoiled) the finale arc right now and she just finished 3.11 and was all "OMG, FACE OF BOE PROPEHCY" and I am all "WILL YOU JUST WATCH THE OTHER TWO!" because she keeps talking and...I can't spoil her.

[identity profile] asgaja.livejournal.com 2007-08-23 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I love the way you express yourself!

Though seriously I'm having a bit of the same feeling that [livejournal.com profile] misssara11 had and I'm not sure just WHAT to make of it.

ACK! *hides* I seriously need to find something to obsess over other than DW. Because this is not good for my mental health at all.

I still can't find a reference to what RTD said about Boe. It's supposedly in the Doctor Who Magazine, so you'd think there'd be more than just one vague reference to it on my flist. *grumps*

RTD: *throws in Rose reference*

Me: \o/


Yup. We are both terribly easy. *snerk*

Dooo iiiiit! Like...the Doctor and Rose get drunk at a party and wind up trying to herd ducks!

"Why...why are we doing this again?"

"Ducks must be herded, Rose. It makes the universe all...all aligned. Rassilon!"

"Rassithon?"

"He deman...deman...wanted people to herd duckses on his birthday. The eleventh of Squam. This is why I have the Duck Poking Stick of Rassilon."

"You found that on the ground."

"Shhhhhh."
