I remember when I was in junior high in No Cal, all the school busses had radios, and our driver always had it tuned to KLIV...all the rock/pop music of the time. The first Bowie song I ever remember hearing, and it was on almost every single bus ride, was "Fame", and I loved it!
Still such a cool song...!

That's my fav Bowie song!

Disney's Oscar nods (and why I hate these awards shows)

Star Wars The Force Awakens

Best Sound Mixing, Best Sound Editing, Best Film Editing, Best Visual Effects, Best Original Score (John Williams )

Cinderella

Best Costume Design

Inside Out

Best Animated Feature Film, Best Original Screenplay

How the heck did some of those movies I never heard of or didn't do well at the box office get picked as Best Feature Film over SWTFA?

It does seem so random and biased how certain films get nominated and others do not. It seems like these people think that just because a film is super popular it isn't arty enough for best picture or whatever. There is a reason the popular films are popular and usually it is because it is a good film. Oh well, I will like the films I like anyway.

Not sure what the issue was, but I have not been able to access the forums for most of today.

So...summary of today.

This morning I woke up and went to check my phone. I discovered the screen would not turn on. An online chat with HTC later determined my less-than-two -year-old phone needed replacing. Can't make or answer calls, basically a paper weight.

A cab ride and trip to the AT&T store later, and I have a new phone. Albeit a much better phone, but still not exactly how I intended to spend my day at WDW.

Spent the rest of today at Disney Quest, which was virtually empty. Apparently, attendance dropped off when they announced the closure. Then we spent the evening at Disney Springs. And yes, I did check out the new Star Wars shop. It was great. Although I found the lack of Rey disturbing.

DHS tomorrow.

That's my fav Bowie song!

Yep, great tune!
And, John Lennon was a co-writer.

Are you going to get some of these @StarWarsGirl95 ??

My husband never turns on his side of the electric blanket either. The hotter the better for me.

Hahaaa...!
Yep, definitely seems a pretty constant difference between gals and guys...I'll be layin' in my shorts with the covers folded off of me, and DWifey is in a t-shirt and sweat pants, under a sheet, a blanket, and a comforter...!

I used two bandaids on my boo boo until it had pretty well healed. Hubby had to get more Bandaids, ha!

Yep, I need more bandages too. I wore two bandages the first half of the day, cause I had to.

Cute, but I don't like dark chocolate.

 

[Gabe1]

Yes, it's such a cute course. I love the Fairways too! I'm not good at playing it, but I love it anyway!

That is me and Toy Mania. Not sure what it is about Toy but I laugh and laugh harder as the games continue. By the end my tummy almost hurts from laughing so hard. I do very badly at Toy in comparison to family members but I rock at Buzz. Go figure.

You are right, we live very close to a regional airport. I miss listening to the radio, we used to have a fun station in Kansas City.

They likely live stream it so you might be able to listen to it. What station was it?

 

[donaldtoo]

Same here, "winter weather advisory". Of course there was still school because it's a 3-day week due to the holiday. I had planned to go into town to run errands and get groceries but my daughter is home ill so those chores can wait.

Oh my.
Hope the weather, and especially your daughter, are better by now...!

I love Puppies!!!

I'm not sure why you think I was addressing anything that you said. It was my random thought. (I have those once in awhile) It was not connected to anything that you said directly, it was just a jumping off point. Sorry, if I didn't make that clear. But I will fix it.

Once in a while?

 

[donaldtoo]

I volunteer!!!!

Hahaaa...! Riveting!

One of our co-workers dressed as Rosie for our office Halloween costume contest this year...!

I love Puppies!!!

That was great! So funny at 29 weeks.

 

[Gabe1]

Cute, but I don't like dark chocolate.

Give it 20, 25 years when some of those taste buds change. So many things I learned to love around 40 or so.

Same here. I used to think dark chocolate tasted funny, but now milk chocolate usually tastes too sweet to me.

 

[Gabe1]

neither here.. they went bankrupt in Mexico if I remember correctly.. same with Arby's. (which was terrible.. Carl's were way better)

When I was a kid Arby's was amazing. They had used fresh sliced beef cut very thin and then dipped quickly in to very hot beef drippings. Oh my was it good. A close duplicate to it was also the Chain called Lums. Arby's then went to a processed beef that they sliced and just added some beef gravy and it was so disgusting. Funny how profit margins of accountants can tank all profits. Greed has some awful results.

More drama over here at the fun house. Appliances were scheduled to be delivered today, which I told Mr. Donkey, who said yesterday it was OK for the delivery people to move the ones he's taking into the garage. This morning he tells me to move my car because it may get scratched (while he's putting stuff into his van) and of course I get snarky with him. Seriously, though, why would my car possibly get scratched when our driveway is big enough to hold 3 cars across??? Because of that, he told me he would not allow the delivery people to touch "his" appliances (I had to point out they're still community property) for fear of them damaging them. Next thing I know he's saying he'll call the police if anyone touches him, he's recording the entire interaction with the delivery people, he's telling them we're in the middle of a divorce, and I know they're just thinking we're a couple of nut cases.

On top of that, now he's telling me that I will only have our daughter from Sat morning to Mon morning and he'll have her the rest of the time. Over my dead body!!!

Oh, and he may not be moving out this Sunday. Apparently that date wasn't actually the move date (even though his email says it is) - it's the date when he'll have all his "inside items" moved out. He won't be officially moved out until his "outside items" are moved as well. Isn't it lovely how he can just change his mind on a whim?
