In case anybody was wondering what the drugs I listed earlier were.

Animal Kingdom (Disney Day 4)

[fa:p:a=72157600097427539,p=2,id=465897876,j=l,s=s,l=i]The Animal Kingdom is the largest, and newest of all the Disney parks and was the one I was looking forward to the most for using my camera because they have a safari tour with real animals. Unfortunately, this wasn’t my day. I had been battling a minor head cold for a while, and today it decided to rear its big ugly head and sapped me of energy and enjoyment. I brought my camera, but forgot to grab the batteries (doh, I blame the Dayquil for scrambling my mind). That day is a bit of a scramble to me, but I did have some fun on a few things.

Specifically the new ride, Expedition Everest kicks ass! It’s a roller coaster inside of a mountain that resembles Mt. Everest. I realize I’m kind of spoiling the ride a little bit, but I don’t know of anybody going to Disney World anytime soon, so allow me to explain how the ride goes. It climbs up and the first drop is relatively mundane, but you quickly run out of track and the ride train stops, overlooking the edge of the mountain. There are buzzards waiting to eat you, and a chilly wind even. Then, a little creak and the train falls backwards, inside of the mountain in complete darkness and does a couple spirals until you finally end up in a lit cave again held motionless while a silhouette of the yeti tears apart the track that you just arrived on, as he tears the train shakes and then falls back towards the track that was just being torn up, but through some Disney magic you go another way and drop out of the mountain and back up through a tight spiral. For a ride that doesn’t go upside down at all it is awesome [You forgot to mention the HUGE Yeti Character that the roller coaster almost drives into. The Yeti is enormous and very real-looking; right down to wet, nappy hair. The roller coaster rockets upwards toward the Yeti’s outstretched arms before dipping down at the last second. I went on this ride three times, btw – Keith].

We called it a day earlier than normal, we had planned on going to Downtown Disney after the park closed, but I felt horrible, and Meghann was feeling bad as well, so we went back to the hotel and I slept for about 10 hours.

Deathly Ill

So I may have worked a bit to much over the weekend. Because starting last night I seem to have picked up a cold or flu in 85 degree weather. I’m feeling a lot better right now than I did last night and thismorning, and I attribute that to the mysterious of DayQuil but I still ache and have hot and cold flashes. My heachache is gone though, and my throat doesn’t feel like there is a cheese grater in it.

I’ve got a lot of things I want to do today, that I didn’t get around to over the weekend. My roomates left me a friendly note to clean up my desk since it was getting a little rediculous. But before I go I wanted to show you this recipt. I think I accidentally shorted the girl $1 when I paid because she counted it twice, but it looks like she picked up the slack, but somehow I ended up getting change back? Maybe its just the DayQuil making me a space cadet, but this looks funny. (click for a full sized view)
