Well, our internet was back yesterday. Turns out a cable on the outside of our building had been cut and that is why we lost cable and all that goes with it. Oh well. Work is going well and I am finalizing my resume for Guest Relations to have it ready to post on Monday. Not much else going on though. Sorry so short.

Well folks, I am on day two of no internet or cable at home and BrightHouse for some reason isn’t coming very fast to come fix the problem. Oh well. I have been off the last two days and go back to work tomorrow. Yesterday I slept in and did some work around the house before going over to Joe’s and Paul’s for movie night. Today, I slept in again and I went off to Disney-MGM Studios before coming here to the Magic Kingdom where I am meeting up with Patrick for the night when he gets off of work. Not much else new to report really. More updates once my internet is back.

Well, I was reading through my RSS feeds and noticed that Wil Wheaton had an interesting title on on article. Only after reading it had I discovered that one of my favorite Star Trek characters, Scotty, had passed away this morning. Below is the information that Wil provided:

LOS ANGELES — James Doohan, the burly chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise in the original “Star Trek” TV series and motion pictures who responded to the command “Beam me up, Scotty,” died early Wednesday. He was 85.

Doohan died at 5:30 a.m. at his Redmond, Wash., home with his wife of 28 years, Wende, at his side, Los Angeles agent and longtime friend Steve Stevens said. The cause of death was pneumonia and Alzheimer’s disease, he said.

In the words of Mr. Spock, Live Long and Prosper Mr Doohan

Moving on from the new car, last night Patrick and I met up after work and headed over to the AMC at Pleasure Island and caught the 10:15 show of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Patrick really wanted to see the movie and I had to admit that it looked good from the previews. I wasn’t a huge Tim Burton fan after the Nightmare before Christmas so I didn’t know what to expect. With out giving much away, I really enjoyed the movie. It was cute and unlike the original, it followed the book fairly accurately. What I did miss though as the music from the old version. Something about a good catchy song like I’ve got a Golden Ticket or Pure Imagination just seemed to be missing from this version. Very good film though. Go see it if you haven’t or if you missed it because you were waiting for the new Harry Potter book to come out. You wont regret this one.
