So, for those of you who didn't get the memo, I was finally given the chance to learn Festival of the Lion King stilts. I was just approved in this new role a week ago! Today, was my first day of doing stilts in show and it was sooooo much fun! It also helps that I had great audiences and a great team of stiltwalkers! Thanks to everyone for being so supportive, helpful, and for an overall awesome day!

Well, I'm exhausted...time for rest so that I can go to work and do it all again tomorrow! Woohoo!

Yeah, it's really random title...I'm aware of this.

Having been back at Disney after my vacation, I realized that not too many exciting things happen here that's worth blogging about. But here's an attempt:

First, I'm not learning Festival of the Lion King (FOLK) stilts...again. If you know me, you'll know FOLK stilts are really the only thing I want to learn at this point. It's pretty much the ultimate thing I want to do in Entertainment. This is actually the second time in a row I wasn't able to learn FOLK. Ugh. The first time I couldn't because I was under the Equity contract. This time, I can't because of Playhouse Disney. Apparently, Playhouse still doesn't have enough staffing for them to be able to spare me for the rehearsals. Not that I don't agree, but I haven't been scheduled at Playhouse since two weeks after I learned the show...which was in January. Oh, well. Next time, I guess.

Netflix rocks! (Smooth transition, right?) For a while I've been debating Blockbuster Online and Netflix....I chose Netflix, and it was a great decision. While I could go to Blockbuster and pick up movies to watch while I wait for my online rental movies to arrive in the mail, this option would just be silly. They limit the number of times you can pick up movies in the store to 5 times a month...lame. And, doesn't having me go to the store defeat the whole purpose of renting movies online in the first place? With Netflix, I can just watch unlimited movies instantly online while I wait for my DVDs to arrive in the mail. And the online movie quality is great - even when your internet connection isn't!

Where's my private jet?! (Another nice segue, huh?) But really, where is it! Someone should make that happen. As a crazy lady from Wife Swap would say: I want my jet, I want my on-flight drinks..."ah, bring me."

Until next time.......................ah, bring me.
