Vending Machines Have Everything

On a recent trip that Chris and I took to a local mall (yes, I am a mall rat) I found this amazing vending machine.

It’s full of everything you could possibly want/need. Things you forgot at home, and things you didn’t know you wanted until you saw them. 

Candy and snacks, diapers, sanitary products, halls, juice boxes,  hot wheels cars, teddy bears and even pacifiers among other things are all contained within this one vending machine.

Vending machines used to be reserved for drinks, snacks and things found in Women’s bathrooms that I won’t mention by name here. Now it seems that you can buy anything in a machine. I’ve seen machines that vend stamps, small bags, makeup… When we went to florida, there was even a vending machine there that I could have bought tons of iPod products from (iPod Nanos, iPod touches, iTunes gift cards and headphones). 

We are truly living in the future. A time where a machine (dare I say… ROBOT) allows you to buy things you want and need without needing to interact with a human. 

At the height of this revolution right now I would have to say is redbox.  Redbox, allows you to choose your DVD via touch screen (as many as you want) then once you’ve entered your credit card information (so that they can charge you if you don’t return the DVD) vends your movie using a very futuristic (well to me) slot. Rentals are $1 a day and if you keep it for 25 days it’s yours to keep (the max they will charge you is $25). Not bad.

But wait, it gets better… Become a member of this site http://www.insideredbox.com/redbox-codes/. And you’ll find many codes that will allow you to rent the movie for free. Well, it’ll give you $1 off so if you return the movie within 24 hours the movie is free. So when the library is closed and you can’t borrow the movie you want to see this is the perfect solution!

Chris and I have used this service a few times and only once did we have an issue with a DVD being too scratched to watch. We called up customer service and they refunded our money without us needing to PROVE that it was unwatchable. Not bad customer service for a company that for the most part interacts with it’s customers via machines.

I have realized recently that I am truly living in one of the most exciting times for technology. I am living in the era of the nerd and the geek. As a geek/nerd myself, I am very excited. I love that I can sit in my bed with my laptop and type out a blog, as I listen to music that is stored on my desktop in the other room and check my e-mail on my phone. I love that it’s possible to remote into my computer at home from my phone. I love that I don’t have to be plugged into a wall, or even connected to a wireless network in order to download applications to my phone (while we’re thinking about that I love that I can even have applications on my phone, 3D apps at that!).

To quote Judy Dench in the newest spaceship earth “We stand on the brink of a new renaissance”.

I can’t wait to see where else the digital world takes us. Anyone plan on making a machine that can dispense a computer?

A Weekend of Family, Friends & Fish

So I had a pretty eventful weekend.

Friday Chris and I had our big move from our first Apartment to our new one (for those of you who don’t know our landlord decided to renovate our old Apt. and so, one year after moving in, we lost the place, through no fault of our own since I always payed the rent at least a week in advance). Chris took lot’s of pictures of our old place, and I’ll take some of our new place for comparisons sake, but that… is not what this post is about.

We got off to a late start because our downstairs neighbors were also moving and their movers didn’t leave until early afternoon, but once they did, we kicked into high gear. Chris and I packed up the “Mothers Attic” (yes it’s really called that) in the U-Haul as well as both the Box Spring and our Mattress. Soon afterwords Chris’s family arrived (Pattie, Bill, Max and Tess) as well as our friend Erik and everyone set to work.

I carried a few more things down but ultimately ended up staying with the truck and organizing what I’ve decided to call a giant game of TETRIS, stacking boxes in the bookcase that was lying on it’s side, balancing chairs and couches… Mollie showed up later but we made her promise not to work since she had an interview for a job about 45 minutes after she got to our place.

It only took us a few hours and then we had the Truck completely packed up. The only issue we had was when we took the Air Conditioner out of the dining room window and dumped water all over the floor (oops). It was amazing the way that we all just did what was needed to get the job done. What was even more amazing was that we had so much help, and no one asked for anything in return. Erik left to take a shower before work (what a great guy, he had a huge excuse not to help and yet…). We saw Mollie running down the street and we ran out to meet her. SHE GOT THE JOB!!! (yay! way to go Mollie!!!). We finished cleaning up (thanks Mom-O for sweeping so much) set the keys in the counter and closed the door of our lovely little apartment for the last time. ::tear::

Tired, hungry, sad to leave the first behind (but very happy for Mollie), we took the family to see our NEW Apartment and ordered Chinese food. While we were waiting we un-loaded some of the truck (about half?) and then took a well deserved break on chairs/boxes/the floor. After a half hour of relaxation (and way too much food) we finished unloading the truck and the rest of the famliy went home to Ice and Aleve (as did we though we were home).

Saturday was spent sore, unpacking boxes (where again Pattie, Max, Tess and Mollie came to help) and going to IKEA for some odds and ends. Saturday though we missed Bill and we came to find out that he was very sick and at home in bed (thank you Bill! I can’t thank you enough for all of your help especially since you were not feeling well, I had no idea, you certainly didn’t let it effect you). Because of all the help, we got everything unpacked Saturday, and the new place started to feel like home.

Sunday Chris helped move the Harp for the wedding that Mollie and Tess were playing at. I went to see my friend Meagan in RENT (the same Meagan from URINE TOWN) and bought four new fish (I now have 6, one Betta “Xerxes”, two Platy’s, and three Cory Cats (1 green, 1 peppered, 1 albino).

Up until now I haven’t had any pictures, in all of the excitement and panic of this weekend I failed to take any before/after pictures, pictures while we were moving or anything. I wish I could have captured the amazing team that helped us move (thanks a million times over, I don’t know how to say it better than that, if you ever need help moving, I’ll be there in a flash!) I’ve learned something for next time I guess, document the big things in life.

But I do have pictures of my new fish and their new tank. So I’ll leave you with those.

Comic Con 2008

So it’s no secret, I’m kind of a nerd. Case in point, yesterday, I went to the Wizard World Comic Convention (with Chris). And here’s my proof.

Wizard World Badge

While I will admit that simply by going to a Comic Convention (two years in a row) I’ve gained a few nerd points and lost a few cool points… I think I’ve kept my cool status above some convention goers… Like these guys…

No, they’re not getting paid to walk around like that… They just are… And while there is a costume contest on Sunday… It’s only for kids. So yeah… Although I have to admit some of the costumes are very cool and have amazing detailing, I won’t be dressing up like that for Comic Con… Ever. But back to the convention.

I find it tons of fun. There are 3 main areas.

1. The presenters which include game manufacturers, colleges and others. Sony was there last year with all sorts of PS3 games to play, Dell was there this year with laptops and computers to play World of Warcraft and Guitar Hero among other things.

2. Retail which includes comic book sellers, nerd clothes, toys, swords. Anything you could possibly want to buy to fulfill all of your comic fantasies.

3. The Artist. The place to meet all of your favorite artists and have them sign your comics… Awesome.

So lets see… I think Sony did their booth way better last year than Dell did this year. Last year we stood in line to try out some games, this year, we practically skipped the Dell booth, only stopping long enough to glance at the screens of what others were playing. It wasn’t that exciting. Plus, Sony gave things out last year, just for walking by the booth, Dell didn’t

It’s always fun to go see what’s in the retail section, tons of toys you don’t really see anywhere else, it’s just.. Fun. I got a fun little toy that I’ve almost ordered online several times, but somehow, having it there in front of me I had to have it. It’s a Ninja, yeah that’s right.

Ninjas!

They’re from a site called shawnimals.com and they have tons of cool stuff there, you should really check it out. While I think the big ninjas are great,  I wanted something smaller. The micro plush answered my request…

Micro Plush

Can’t tell which kind is inside? Neither can anyone, it’s a secret and a surprise… But I bought one anyway and here’s what’s inside of the box.

I don’t know if the black bag is really necessary, but…

Oooh… It’s White and comes with a little pamphlet and a sticker too…

I have to admit I was hoping for the black ninja, but white is cool as well. But what’s wrong with my sticker? According to the book these ninjas have story’s behind them (I love little details like this). (the next two pictures have lots of text on them so if you are like my family and are still on Dial-up internet, i know sometimes my picture heavy posts don’t load all the way… So here are links to the individual pictures which should load quicker so you can tell what I’m talking about… White Ninja and Ninja Consultant)

My Plush is a White Ninja

My Sticker is a Ninja Consultant (it all makes sense now)

The toy was $6 and has amuses me (who wouldn’t like something that talks about Stealth Hugs), and it will be finding a new home on my desk at work on Monday… Apparently there is going to be a Ninja Town DS game soon… I can’t wait.

At last years comic convention I met the author (Ben Avery) and illustrator (Casey Heying) of “The Oz/Wonderland Chronicles” (available here buymetoys.com). The story is great and the art is amazing. I bought Issues 0 – 2 last year

Oz/Wonderland Chronicles 0-2

And this year I was able to pick up the issue 3 as well as an issue that is special and apparently takes place after the issue 4.

Oz/Wonderland Chronicles 3 and Jack & Cat Special

Ben Avery wasn’t there this year… But Casey Heying was and he explained that the Jack and Cat Special was done by a new artist Ryan Sergent who will be doing the special issues now.. Pretty Cool.

Last year I got my comics signed, this year I was so happy to just get the next issue that I totally forgot to ask, I was kind of bummed but I did some digging on the internet and found Ben Avery’s email and wrote him on a whim to ask him if there was a way to get it. Long story short, I got to talk with Ben Avery (who is really nice) and I should be getting a signed copy (signed by both of them) sometime. It’s always nice when you find out that someone you admire, is also a nice guy.

Perhaps the most exciting thing about comic con was meeting two of the authors of Cyanide and Happiness (an online comic that is SO funny, check them out at Explosim.net).

Cyanide and Happiness

Chris (being the awesome older brother that he is, I’m so lucky to know him) bought Max this T-shirt (and had it signed)!

Cyanide and Happiness T-shirt (click for a link to buy)

Then they asked if we wanted a free drawing. We said yes one for Max. They asked if it should be about anything in particular and we said no so away they went…

Drawing Max’s Drawing

Drawing Max’s Drawing 2

Since we hadn’t given them any guidelines, they drew the most appropriate picture.

Awesome

Ha ha ha…. Really you should check them out. They’re always funny.

And our last exciting thing of the day. We passed a little Hot Dog / Hambuger joint on our way to the convention (around 1:00)

Paradise Pup in Des Plaines IL

There was a really long line out the door and we thought “they must have really great food”. When we were coming home at about 4:45 we noticed the line was still just as long… So we stopped because we thought “it must be good if people wait.”

And then we waited in line.

The line

We met some very nice people in line that told us that the line is always like this. The one guy said that he teaches at a high school up the street and that he cannot come here for lunch because one period is not enough time to eat here. He was right… We waited 40 minutes in line (and then about 8 for our food). While we were waiting we realized that this place had been featured on the Food Networks Diners, Drive ins and Dives. But it was worth the wait. The food was delicious. The Cheesebuger, oh man, it’s hard to explain why a cheeseburger is good. But this one… Was superb. It was cooked to perfection and had mayo, grilled onions, pickles, tomato (no we didn’t get salmonella from it), Cheddar cheese, and a cheese spread on it. I just can’t tell you how amazing it was. And although I wish I had taken a picture to show you how great it was… Once I started eating it was too good (and too messy) to stop.

Being spontaneous, sometimes works to your advantage. What could have just been a great day at the Comic Con, turned into a great day at the Comic Con AND the discovery of a great place to eat…

Life is Good.

Shedd Aquarium Birthday

It’s been kind of a tradition for the last few years that on my Twin Siblings (Patrick and Sarah) birthday I take them out somewhere rather than giving them a gift. This year we took a trip to the Shedd Aquarium (http://www.sheddaquarium.org/). Unfortunately, I didn’t take them there until June 15th which is an entire month after their birthday (sorry guys!).

So this year was a big birthday, 16! That kind of makes you feel old when your siblings start hitting those milestone birthdays. But, it’s a good thing too… We get along really well now, and we’re all really good friends. Just in the last couple of months I’ve really started to get to know my brother and sister more than just as an older sister, it’s really nice. I’ve always liked hanging our with them. But, it’s nice now to be able to talk to them as well, about life, dance, whatever.

Their off to The Rock School of Ballet (http://www.therockschool.org/) for the summer (in fact their moving into their dorms todaty) and I wish them the best of luck. I know they’ll have a great time getting to take from all sorts of new teachers (secretly though, I can’t wait for them to be back).

Anyway… I got a little off topic. The Aquarium….

I was sick that day, but it was really our last shot before they left for the summer, so we went. Aside for getting lost in Chicago for a good 45 minutes, everything worked out great. We hung around, looked at fish, got Popcorn, Cookies, Corn Dogs (Pat got a hamburger), Ice Cream…. All in all a good day. I can’t wait to see where we choose to go next year.

Pictures and a dorky little video from our trip

Disneyland Thoughts Part 3

The Rides!

Disneyland Rides are a lot like Disney world rides, but there are differences and in some cases there are rides that just don’t exist in Disney World. Here are just a few of the most notable rides (if I were to tell you about everyone… well, this post would have to be turned into a book).

Mr. Toads Wild ride is one of the rides that no longer exists in Disney World. I’ll admit It’s a little outdated by other rides but it’s fun to go on and is one of my favorite rides. You ride in a buggy through the mostly two dimensional ride that is unlike anything else in Disney for one thing it’s the only Wind in the Willows ride, for another the ride ends in Hell (read more on Wikipedia).

Buzz LIghtyear Astro Blasters

Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters has a counter part in Disney World but Chris and I decided that the Disneyland ride is better for one key reason. On both rides you get a laser gun and shoot the Evil Emperor Zurg’s minions however in the Disneyland version you hold your gun, whereas the guns are mounted on the car at Disney World (thus hindering your range or motion).

The Haunted Mansion is one of my favorite rides at the Magic Kingdom and in Disneyland. The mansion is filled with ghosts, you board your “Doom Buggy” and take tour through it as the ghosts party and go about their deathly lives. There are lot’s of details in both versions and you notice something new every time you go on the ride (scary trees reminiscent of Snow White, a hidden Mickey in the dining room, etc.)

The Tower of Terror

This is another on of my favorite rides at Disney World (it lives in Disney’s Hollywood Studios) though, not so much at Disneyland. The rides follow the same story… You’ve gone to the “Hollywood Tower Hotel” and you are going to your rooms, however you have to take a service elevator, and this elevator leads to “The Twilight Zone”.

Service Elevator

Although the story is the same the Disney World Ride is longer and takes a more interesting route to the final dropping area. the ride operators at Disney World are also more interesting and better actors (in my opinion) then the ones at Disneyland.

The Monorail

Worth noting just because it is an awesome way to travel, the Disneyland monorail runs between downtown Disney and tomorrow land. It’s a fun trip and, unlike the Disney World version… You can open the windows on the Monorail at Disneyland.

Pirates of the Caribbean

Possibly my favorite ride at both locations is Pirates. I love the theme song, I love the details, everything about the ride, though as with Buzz Lightyear, the Disneyland version is better. Not only because it’s almost twice the ride length (Disneyland’s ride is 16 min 30 sec, Disney World is only 8 min 30 sec) but also for several other reasons. The ride first takes you through a kind of a dark lake scene that also happens to be a restaurant and so is filled with yummy smells. Disneyland has two drops (Disney World has only one) and there are just amazing details around every curve. Read more on all the variations (including Disneyland Paris and Tokyo) on Wikipedia!

Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage

The finding Nemo ride at Epcot in Disney World is kind of a let down, your board a clam mobile (just like a doom buggy) and go through the ride where animated scenes are projected so that the animated fish apear to be in the tanks with the live fish. There is not much story and is basically just Nemo swimming around hiding from his father. From all the publicity we had seen about the Disneyland ride we thought it would be the same only in submarines. Well, that’s not the only difference although, you do board a submarine…

Nemo Submarine

The ride starts and the “Captain” tells you that they’ve got a new system on board that allows you to hear what fish and other sea life is saying. You pass through some interesting 3d sets

and then you “dive” (in reality bubbles shoot up near your window obstructing your view as you enter a cave creating the illusion that you are further under the water). From here you see animated scenes (from or inspired by finding Nemo) much like at Disney World, however in this version Nemo is not hiding and doesn’t appear to be a jerk. The only weird part of the ride is the fact that the ride operator stands in the center of the Sub and peaks out through the top so you sit near his/her legs the whole time and never see their face which is… Awkward…. However… I’m so glad we didn’t miss this one because it was the best surprise of the whole trip.

All in all I was very happy with all of the rides at Disneyland including many not mentioned in this post. And, although I thought this would be a one time trip, cannot wait to plan another Disneyland trip sometime in the future.

Disneyland Trip Thoughts Part 2

About the time we chose to go…

Memorial Day Weekend, if I were to think about a time where there would be tons of people at Disneyland, this would be it. Had I realized that the weekend we were trying to go was memorial day weekend before I started really planning I might not have done it. And it would have been a shame. Sure, there were times in the parks where for most rides you had at least a 30 minute wait, and sometimes up to 90 minutes (we didn’t wait 90 minutes for anything, the most we waited was 50, and that was just Finding Nemo which is brand new). During Mid afternoon the crowds peaked

Crowds (as seen from Tarzan’s Tree House)

But even with the crowds like this, it wasn’t that bad, you could practically walk onto Haunted Mansion at anytime of the day, Buzz Lightyear is always moving so the wait is never that bad. Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Finding Nemo, Indiana Jones, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad… These had long lines long lines all day, but they have FASTPASS so really, as long as you look at the wait time before you get on, for the most part you can spend even the busiest of weekends happy, without standing in line for more than 5-20 minutes for almost anything.

And if you’re willing to get up early you can see things like this…

California Adventure, with no one around

Mickey and Walt, all alone

Sleeping Beauty Castle, with only Cast Members in sight

You can walk down Liberty Square without a crowd.

Even if it is a holiday weekend, if you go to your favorite ride first thing you might get to ride… By yourself.

Chris and me on Slash Mountain all by ourselves

On this particular ride, we got back up to the beginning of Splash mountain and the ride operators asked us if we wanted to go around again. So we did, we didn’t get off the ride and we rode twice in a row on Splash Mountain (where just hours later there would be a 60 minute wait).

I was prepared for the worst, big crowds, long lines… But like most of the good guide books say, if you see the big attractions either first thing in the morning, or later (around dinner time or later) the lines are not that bad, even on the weekend. Our handy Disneyland Ride List (HERE) helped a lot, and since Chris laminated it at work (thank you!) it lasted all weekend.

Mid day we saw things like, Davy Crockett’s Explorer Canoes, Disneyland: The First 50 Years, Star Tours, Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, among others. We enjoyed each others company, and the scenery. And, even though there were tons of people we were still lucky enough to be winners of The Year Of a Million Dreams Mickey Ears!

Chis and me in our the Mickey Ears we Won.

I’m not going to pretend that it wouldn’t have been nice to have less crowds, but I was prepared for way worse. We had an amazing time, we rode… Everything, in just 2 1/2 days!!! And we came home happy and ready to go to Disney again (which is exactly how I like it).

Next up…. Disneyland rides!

Disney Land Trip Thoughts Part 1

Ahh… Disneyland, where the happiest place on earth all got started. And Chris & I got to go!

First let me say that almost all of the pictures I am going to post Chris took (thanks!) I’m just not great about taking pictures on trips. Especially because his always turn out so nice. It seems silly to take the same photo he just finished taking. Second, I don’t plan on making a record of everything that happened, just some highlights.

Today’s Highlight…. Our Hotel.

There is something to be said for being nice to the people who are going to take care of the place you stay. There is also something to be said for letting your vacation happiness shine through and not hiding it. Case in point, our hotel room/stay at the Hilton Anaheim.

I get way excited about any trip, but especially Disney, and when I get excited I tend to act a little giddy. I smile, I clap my hands, I bounce… I see no reason to hide my excitement. I’m glad I haven’t lost that quality. I like that part of myself, I like being happy. And this weekend, it paid off and I was happy to find out that acting crazy sometimes isn’t a bad thing… Well… We got to the hotel and talked to the clerk, asked him if we could get a room on the 5th floor (which we had heard was newly renovated) or one looking over Disneyland. He asked us about our trip and I was of course happy to tell him that we were going to Disneyland the whole time and were way excited to be there. He asked what we were most excited about and I said seeing the differences in Pirates of the Caribbean, Tower of Terror and Haunted Mansion. Turns out our clerk used to work at the Tower of Terror in Walt Disney World and he warned us that Disney Worlds was much better than Disneyland’s, but he also said that Disneyland had the better pirates (we later found out he was right about both). Well… He picked us out a room, on the 6th floor over looking the park, and said that it was something special. I had no Idea what to expect.

We went up the elevator to the 6th floor and started walking to the room, it was a bit of a walk, with about 3 turns, we passed lots of doors along the way… Did he trick us? We finally found our room, the very last door at the end of the hall, on a wall all by itself. We put in the key and opened the door, no… He didn’t trick us.

2 of our four walls were floor to ceiling mirrors!

Plus, the 6th floor has now also been renovated because the furniture and bathroom fixtures were definitely new. On top of that, we had a great view out our window of Disneyland including the Tower of Terror, Space Mountain and the Matterhorn Bobsleds.

Tower of Terror

Space Mountain

Matterhorn Bobsleds

It made for something awesome to come back to at night, being able to look out over the parks and think about all the things we had done there that day… And on that first day, it built the excitement even more. After looking out the window for awhile, and jumping up and down, Chris and I rushed to the parks…

But that’s another post.

Disneyland Attractions – When to Ride List

So after lamenting that the Disneyland books didn’t have the handy guides that the Disney World books do, I decided to take it upon myself to compile the list. Really I’m not sure why the Disneyland book doesn’t have it. The information is already there. I guess they didn’t want to pay for the extra pages.

The following is the result of about 1 1/2 hours of work (a lot of which was spent making it look pretty). The Rides are in Alphabetical order and lists when the best time to ride is (and if they have FASTPASS) I’m sure there are typos… But it will have to do.

The project served as an outlet for all my pent up Disney Energy… Plus, now I feel more confident about our trip… I wish I could be less obsessive, but I’m not.

DISNEYLAND!!!!!!

Okay, so much for updates while I waited for Disney to arrive.

This month has flown by and now…. 4 Days until DISNEY!

So many things to do, well. Pack, plan, look up more info about the rides, print out the itinerary… Okay, maybe not so much to do. Really it’s pretty much done, but… Anyway.

I felt way more prepared when we went to Disney World. Maybe because I had MONTHS rather than A MONTH to get excited and plan every little detail. This time I feel as though I’m not sure what I am getting into. I’m not sure if that adds to the excitement, or takes away from it. Maybe I’ll be taking a lesson from Chris this trip and just taking things as they come. But I am still disappointed that while, the guide books for Disney World are awesome. They have cut out pages for everything, including a handy reference guide for the rides. I can’t find anything like that for Disneyland. But hopefully we can still avoid the long lines.

Because we booked the trip so fast after deciding to go it still seems unreal. I can’t believe that on Friday I will be in one of the Happiest Places on earth sharing time with Mickey and Minnie. YAY!

Urinetown (that’s right!)

It has been a month for shows!

Yesterday I went to see my good friend Meagan Little (she plays Hope Cladwell) in the River View Theater Company’s performance of Urinetown. Yes that is the name of the musical, and no, it’s not bad. I’ve listened to the songs of the show and did a little research about the show before I went (I’m just that kind of theater goer) but I was not prepared for the show to be as good as it was.

The show is just wildly funny and the vocals of the cast was amazing, everything from the set to the choreography captivated my attention. Even just little staging details that you pick up on… Hear no Evil, See no Evil, Speak no Evil. Staging with a candlestick, rope, knife, wrench, etc… (a la CLUE). And although some of the cast told me that they dropped lines/cracked on stage, I wasn’t able to tell. I just thought that it was a fabulous show.

The Riverview seemed to be a very well run company, especially for being in it’s first season… So kudos founders Angie Kells (who also directed the show) and Jeff Cook (who was the light and sound board technician). I also feel that I should mention that David “Doc” Lindquist’s (who also plays Caldwell B. Cladwell) and Angie Kells’ choreography was great for the show and really fit the songs. Just excelent.

See for yourself.

I’m here!

Cop Song (ooh Flashlights!)

Little Sally counts her money

Hope listens to Bobby’s Heart

Shhh….

Ah, there it is. It’s saying…..We all want a world, Filled with peace and joy……
