Sunny CA Trip With my Boyfriend Part 1: Disneyland

So the week following GWW, I had a cold sore and a lovely vacation. My boyfriend was finally meeting my family and my brother was being installed as the Master Councillor in his DeMolay chapter. We arrived on Monday and basically crashed. But Tuesday....


DISNEYLAND!! 
(By the way, this is Sleeping Beauty's Castle, not Cinderella's Castle. Inside the castle is a lovely diorama of Sleeping Beauty's story, as proof, and outside it are mosaics and her and Prince Phillip's dancing statuette. Get it right, tourists. :D)


Upon entering Downtown Disney, I saw the Lego store had a new display up.


I had to stop.


Because it was freaking Dragon!Maleficent and Prince Phillip duking it out on the roof! My favorite movie! Oh look, a wild boyfriend appears in the bottom right corner...

 

My gorgeous little sister outside the Haunted Mansion, which is all decked out for the holidays!

 

My boyfriend and I before the Walt Disney and Mickey statue. He got a first time button (that's right, he'd never been before) and then they gave me one for fun. Yes, I am rocking a Captain America shirt. He's the best Avenger, period. My boyfriend prefers Iron Man. At least we don't fight over Avenger memorabilia.
 
 

They had some funny pumpkins in the Frontier Land. Pinocchio included.


I kinda liked the Mike Wazowski one, though.


The boyfriend after the Jungle Cruise. I had to laugh. He might claim it was the sun in his eyes, but no. It was the corny jokes.


Mary Poppins and Bert. Very sweet.


Darth Maul was taking pictures outside the Star Wars store by Star Tours. It was fun watching him. He would poke people in the back during photos to try and ruin the pictures and otherwise get to be antagonistic to everyone. Made me laugh, though!


Overall, it was a fun, lovely day. More photo spam below:
 

Haunted Mansion.

 

See, lovely painting/mosiac on the castle...


And the other one. Mwahahaha!


Main Street in it's autumnal glory.


Inside the Tower of Terror at California Adventure Park.


A statue in the Tower of Terror's Garden. I loved the ambiance this ride has, so I photographed it a lot.


Inside the lobby.


Still inside the lobby.


 Yep, you guessed it. In the lobby.


My mother, me, and my sister in the back right row. Having a blast, oh yeah.

Manly Muffin Why-nots

Image
I did something crazy today. I blame one of my favorite webcomics for it, actually, specifically, this page of it: The webcomic is Manly Guys Doing Manly Things and is one of the funniest comics I've ever read. It spoofs the most masculine characters in video/computer games and popular culture and is very cleverly written/drawn. And I admit, I adore buff guys. It's all Rosslyn's fault for introducing me to it, but I don't mind. Rosslyn read this page over my shoulder Monday evening and echoed the little girl, saying, "Why not?" In doing so she and the Commander's daughter unwittingly named the project: Manly Muffin Why-nots. Disclaimer: Please forgive the following photos; they were taken in a dimly lit kitchen at night with an uncooperative camera. Also, please forgive the excessive recipe cheats. I am a poor college student on a very limited budget. Now, I got a small pack of frozen strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries (blueberries weren&#

Letter A: Anniversary, the Second!

Welcome to the first of my alphabet month challenge posts! Spousal Unit and I just celebrated our second anniversary at the beginning of February. We did so in our usual fashion: find a museum and a good restaurant and go! (As a note, we're running out of museums to go to.... we went to many while dating.) The destination we chose was the Utah Museum of Fine Art. We got there in the morning on a Saturday and they had a rather interesting exhibit on the use of text in art (collages with newspapers, using words artistically throughout a piece, etc). They even had a typewriter you could use and play around with words that others had already written. It had the standard amount of crass and thoughtful phrases on it. They also had many masking tape art displays: a mosaic and a ceiling display. Spousal Unit and I did have some issue with a tour. We did not join it, but I heard a tired old assumption about the lack of bathing habits of the Middle Ages (as in, they bathed once a ye

Letter F: The Flume

Image
Last fall, Spousal Unit and I went to New Hampshire for a much needed vacation. My friend Anki, who lives out there, became our guide, and suggested that we go to see The Flume , a local geographical feature. I was unprepared. This place is stunning! And, because we went in the fall... COLOR! I'm posting the following pictures of the Flume itself, which hadn't quite been hit with the same fall brilliance as the rest of the forest around it--it was very very green. At a later date, I will post pictures of the hike up and the hike down (the hike runs in a loop, so you see different things) and link everything back here. Anki and the Spousal Unit! I had to admire the trees in this place. Their reckless disregard for things like boulders and rocks being in their way never failed to impress me. The shot above is perhaps the best at showing what the Flume is--a gorge carved out of rock by water over who knows how long. Above th
