The Happiest Place on Earth.

Guess where we went today...

 

 

 

The Magic Kingdon has changed a lot in the 20 odd years since I'd gone, but you can still shoot at the train in Frontierland.

You can also shoot aliens in the Buzz Lightyear ride - by far the best thing there, and also, BTdubs, it provided the best picture of us ever -

Bar

I finally have the bar in some shape I'm happy with so I thought I'd share. I don't know why it took me so long to figure out that the antique Life Savers display belongs on there for the bottles. Aside from liquor it's full family mementos and travel souvenirs, bottles with packaging I love and vintage souvenir bottles. The guitar is a water bottle from Vegas - it has buttons on the neck that play music!

Games

Goodwill was very good to me yesterday. On the counter sat this 1940s gaming set, in damned near complete condition. Missing a few dice, 4 chips and probably 2 dice cups. I couldn't believe that it still has the ball bearing for the roulette wheel and even the tickets for the horse race.

Ok the funny money is hilarious, but more hilarious is the bill rolled up into a tube. I have yet to find the toy cocaine.

Our games game is gettin pretty tite here I think you'll agree -

 

British Monopoly by Waddington's from 1965, and that career game is also '65. The careers include astronaut and uranium prospector in Peru.

 

 

Score Four is like Connect Four but in 3D - it has 16 little rods that you string beads onto. Buck Rogers is basically Chinese checkers. So is Twixt but you build bridges across the board instead of jump marbles. And Mind Maze is just like Battleship except you make a maze and the opponent has to run a marble through it from the other side.

We're usually nerds and just play chess though. One day we'll have a pool table and you'll never hear from either of us again.

I started a tumblr of Carla Tortelli's shirts.

Spring!

Spring has indeed sprung.

 

These are the pineapples I started growing last summer. You can just plant the tops of the ones you buy whole at the grocery. They grow here really well.

 

Mint for mojitos.
