iPhone Madness
Originally uploaded by Club Josh.

I stopped by the Apple store in Costa Mesa and to my suprise it wasn't too crazy. They appeared to have plenty of iphones in stock and there was a groupo hard core mac nerds with their iBooks activating their phones. I held one and compared it to my Q. It is just a bit thicker but not noticeable. Had I not just got the Q, I'd definetly want one. I did think the AT&T plans and the cost of the phone left something to be desired. Hopefully next year prices will go down.

Another recent event was the wedding of one of my second cousins. I actually had a great time getting in touch with some close and not so close relatives. The best part was being introduced as the commander of the 12th largest submarine fleet.

Its Anniversary day here at Club Josh. I wish there was a big redesign or something, but I am still recovering from the opening of Nemo. The last two weeks have improved a bit despite setbacks here and there. I am diving headfirst into many challenges and it has been keeping me busy. It is interesting how Charo traffic has slowed to a crawl since her ad was pulled last year. Some new videos have popped up on YouTube which I will have to link. Also, my new Jarre album is on its way from France thanks to Reed's gift certificate - Thanks Reed!!

Some of the highlights of the past two weeks:
I got my cell phone back and it actually worked. The divers did a good job drying it out and I would have kept the phone except for the fact that it locked itself as I was resetting it. I could not get it unlocked nor could I retrieve any data from it. The good thing is that I didn't have much on it since I had only had the phone for 40 days. Verizon actually ended up giving me a new phone gratis and to boot, my memory card from the phone survived and is back in action in my new Q.

I finally found a Nintendo Wii and decided to treat myself. It has been a plan to do 30 min of Wii-exercise every day to get into shape so we will see how much I can do.

Tara, Leslie, Daniel and I went to see Pirates 3 at the El Capitan last week. I think I enjoyed it better the second time around and to boot we got to see the Ratatouie Premiere at the Kodak Theater across the street. We saw most of the usual Disney Channel celebs as well as Andy Garcia. I mentioned to Daniel that we probably could have gotten in since most of the security and wranglers worked the Pirates premiere.

They are painting the outside of my complex this week. They are going with some terracotta colors that are all the rage these days. I'm sure it will be reflected in my next rent increase.

I am busy planning my next trip overseas. It will be definitely with Europe. Daniel is coming along and we are trying to narrow down our overzealous list of destinations. I do know that I want to meet up with Jonathan in Geneva and Mom and Gary in Spain. Other than that Daniel wants to go to Disneyland Paris and Oslo, and I want to see Scotland and of course stay in some hotels featured on Most Haunted. We are heading to a travel agency this weekend to see if we can get a handle on dates etc. so I will have more details later.

The Final Weekend

The culmination of over a year's worth of work is Monday with the grand opening of the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage at Disneyland. I am excited and exhausted all at once. I have a lot to do yet this weekend and hopefully my three-day weekend next weekend will give me some well earned rest and a chance to get back into the rest of my life.

It is funny, I look back at the last month and a half and my life really has been dominated by work. It is all worthwhile as I see kids face's light up as they find Nemo. I of course was thrilled to get my face into the AP newsletter Backstage pass as well as on the cover of the Disneyland Line (the cast newsletter - I'm on this week's cover with a bunch of the opening crew cast). I was also featured in some B-Roll for Cast TV. Monday I will have a front row seat for the opening ceremony of the attraction, and I feel happy that my third attraction gets all the bells and whistles for an opening.

That's it for now. I will return next week to a more regularish schedule.
