Mr. Toad's Wild Ride Is No More
This will be the only update this week (from me, at least) because I leave for Disneyworld on Thursday afternoon. Expect a movie of the Werner family's adventures to premiere here next Tuesday, June 1. This is about the fifth or sixth time I've been to Disneyworld, but my first time staying in the Contemporary (the hotel with the monorail running through it). Our last visit filled up two weeks, including time at Universal Studios and visiting our Uncle in Cocoa Beach. The highlight of that trip was being picked as an extra for the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular at Disney-MGM Studios. Shaking Indy's hand made my life complete. We've also been to Disneyland and Disneyworld Paris once each. I don't care what anyone says; Disneyworld Paris was awesome - more thrilling rides (Space Mountain had loops), beer, and a cooler castle for Sleeping Beauty with a secret underground dragon lair. My favorite ride in Disneyworld Florida is the relatively new Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, where you shoot aliens with laser cannons mounted on your cart as it rides through space. I'm probably just saying that because I got the high score every time, thanks to years of video game experience. So this weekend's visit will be short but exciting.
Critiques are already creeping up in a few weeks, but I'm practically done with several projects already (partly in preparation for the trip). This quarter's few deliverables will be the Vonnegut trilogy of book covers, spreads and covers for a computer music magazine called Sifr, a 12-page retirement home booklet and an interactive Flash game. I've been trying to learn Flash MX hardcore by reading a training book in addition to taking the class; the key word there being trying. My group is filming some faux television commercials this week for our Brand Strategy class. Work at Imagine Design has been going great. There is no better fast food sandwich on this planet than Wendy's Spicy Chicken Fillet, although they changed its ingredients recently (I liked the old one better). Have a great week!
