mickey, minnie and tigger oh my.

My brain feels absolutely fried. Thank God I can escape this in 50 days! Yes, 50 days is how much longer I have to wait to go to Orlando. But that also means J.D & I have 50 days to book the flight since that's the last thing we haven't done yet. We even debated staying an extra day. I don't think we're going to be able to do it but it could happen. We'll see. So far he's booked us dinner (and the occasional lunch) at the following places: the San Angel Inn Restaurant (Epcot, Mexico), Coral Reef (Epcot, Living Seas pavilion), Prime Time cafe (Hollywood Studios), Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater (Hollywood Studios, photo on left & below). We were laughing over the fact that we're equally excited for the food/dining experiene as we are for the rides and et cetera.













I've become sucked into the world of Twitter. It's kind of a guilty pleasure following celebrities' lives, checking their Twitpics, updating freely about what I'm doing...come follow me: twitter.com/coffeeisgreen.





Lately my appetite is never ending. Why am I always hungry?!





Remember that song Bounce by Sarah Connor? It was released some time in 2004 (although I believe it originally came out in Germany a year prior to the U.S release.) I like the bit of MJB's Family Affair in it. All around catchy song. I downloaded it last night...damn, I'm a sucker for pop music. (Although technically it's labeled as poprock/R&B.)





I'm done rambling.

been running so long....


Head Over Heels is officially my guilty pleasure movie. I think I've watched it 4 times since 'renting' it! I also developed a fondness for the title song, by The Go Gos. From there, I YouTubed their original video for the song. It wasn't until I saw a more recent video of the band performing the same song that it clicked: the lead singer was the woman from Dancing with the Stars (right)! I had no idea what she was famous for. Oops.



Vacation to Disney World has been booked! June 19-23. Fortunately, Jonathan and myself were able to find ways to cut corners to make the trip cheaper. But that also means more movie nights at home until then, LOL. That trip is worth every penny though. I don't remember much from my first and only visit to Orlando in 2001. I'm looking forward to making new memories there, especially because my friend Brian is a Disney nut and so maybe finally I can agree with him =P Also, can I just add how frusturating it is to book through Disney's website?! Three freakin' hours it took to finalize everything!! Maybe the 'site was just having an off night. According to AOL.com, Disney has some Do's and Don'ts. Read on...
Do: Spring for a "deluxe" resort
Don't: Opt for Disney's budget digs (they mentioned the hotel we're staying at as part of the don't...even though they acknowledged it is on park premises, which has its pluses. But J.D's been there before, so I trust his opinion.)
Don't: Chase after discounted tickets
Do: Consider renting
Do: Splurge on a guide
Do: Get a game plan
Do: Get a Fastpass
Do: Go easy on the extras
Don't: Pay more for a view
Do: Book a character breakfast
Don't: Eat during peak lunch hours
Do: Rent a car

I added a fifth class to my schedule come fall: table tennis! I decided to drop that tennis class for the summer so that I could save money. Besides, I am less likely to make a fool out of myself in ping pong than actual tennis.




Michael Balderrama
is taking over the role of Usnavi in In the Heights tonight and the next few nights. This should be really interesting. He's been listed as Usnavi's understudy since it opened but he's yet to go on so this is pretty big. Break a leg, Michael!
