World of Color! (plus a 90's icon gets dark)

Feeling like I needed my gay batteries charged, I took Thursday off to go to Disneyland. I'm pretty sold on going during the week these days, by the way. It's much more fun.

The main excuse we had for going was World of Color, which is California Adventure's new $75,000,000 water/light/fire/laser show.

Here's how it worked.

- Show up at 10am and get a pass for the night's show. You get a spot in a reserved, colored section. Our was Red.

- Show up in the staging area by 7:45pm and wait...

- Show's at 8:15pm and quite spectacular. From where we were, some of the projections were impossible to make out, but we got the general idea. There was a lot to see. The ferris wheel across the lake is actually used as part of the show. Very cool. Plus, there were lasers, which always win me over.

- After the show, all of Anaheim is slowly coralled out of the park. I became very claustrophobic, fast. How this isn't a major fire hazard is beyond me. I suspect inspector pay-offs.

World of Color is not exactly what I expected, but I think the Imagineers did a great job with what they had to work with. Afterall, if they can get my Mark to hang out at California Adventure for more than 20 minutes, they've really accomplished something!

Hipster makeover

I had a bit of a fashion emergency at work today. My shirt wasn't fitting right, and I'm not a big fan of brown.

I had two big meetings in the afternoon, so I wanted to put my best foot forward.

Luckily, I have my professional shopper** working 2 blocks away.

Side Note: I just realized the iPhone 4 front-facing camera takes horrible pictures. I guess it's just for FaceTime...

** Professional Shopper, Ross Manager, same thing. :)
