ANY pictures would be nice at this point. :) Maybe I should go through the thread and see what we all want pictures of. Off the top of my head I can remember the apartment, and now the pic of Lion in the aliens scene. Any others? Maybe Lion in his uniform?

Well a picture of Lion would help whenever we go down there. Then we don't have to ask which one he is, and they don't think were crazy. Come on lion lets see you and Kim Possible in a pic. or your roomates.

As I gaze into the future, I see a picture of a Lioness. I forsee her appearance gracing the pages of subsonic in short time.

You guys are too funny. I did upload some images, but now I gotta pick and choose maybe. But since it's 2:15am, I'll do it some other time. It would be weird to show pictures of myself here. I have seen Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable a few times on Streets of America. Too bad a lot of guests don't catch them.

Today our managers brought us a huge box of Valentine's cupcakes with hella frosting. I ate two of them, cuz there were left-overs. We also had a Valentine heart scavenger hunt thing. We had to find these small heart stickers and note where they were located(without taking them down). The winner receives a prize of a box of chocolates or something. I would have played if I had time or happened to find a lot of them. In all I only found like 4 of them. I think there were 25. Oh well.

Today instead of closing the restrooms, I opened and that was 100 times easier. The park wasn't busy until noon, so for most of my shift I was on the streets- where I love to be, or reporting broken or missing things. I swear, our park is so ghetto.

Get this, you always see showkeepers carrying around pan and brooms no matter if they're in streets or in restrooms. Well, it's so hard to find a pan and broom here. If you leave your equipment alone for even a short period of time unattended, chances are that it's going to be gone. Then you're left to scramble and find one of each. Peope like to hide them and or lock them so no one takes them. Our utilities guy tries to collect them and put them in a shed so we can use them, but of course no one(including me, because i forget) one returns them.

Hopefully all this cold weather is over. My lips are chapped and my hands are dry from the cold. For the past few days I've been wearing all the cold weather gear the showkeepers get from costuming sans the beanie hat and butt ugly white and grey and black jacket. My shoes are still wet from the other day of rain. There was even frost on all the grass near the entrance to disney-mgm studios today. And some of the benches had frost on them that had to be scraped off. I would have never have thought.

Well nite, ya'll. Busy day of stuff tomorrow!

You know I can't remember if Lion ever stated its gender... :) You might be right!

Yeah - what is really "cold" down there anyways? Try a balmy 5F for the high on Friday, according to the weather channel that is what we're in for... I'll take your frost removal gig any morning over freezing for the bus :D

Well i thought it was really cold a few days ago. Granted it doesn't get to below freezing in SF a whole lot, but I had all my gear on. Oh and the windchill doesn't help. Can't imagine 5F at all. So I'll just shut up about "cold weather."

So my roommate is back, and nothing has changed. The first thing I heard this morning was the cell phone at 8am. I ended up sleeping on the couch for another three hours and then went out with some friends. Our day ended up at Planet Hollywood for dinner at Downtown Disney. I've never been, so it was a pretty cool experience even though our waiter seemed kinda moody. I liked all the movie memoribilia and atmosphere.

This weekend I get to work another area. This time it's the Sunset area which encompasses Sunset blvd, but not sure what else. It's a little scary working with new people in a new area. At least it's doing Streets; I need a Restroom break.

So tomorrow's another day off. Not sure what I'm gonna do. I do need to cash my paycheck and get some groceries. My level in the fridge is so bare. Just some spam and some carrot sticks, lol...

If you really wanted to find out which custodial I was, i would be really easy. I've told you the area I work. It would be funny if you asked around though. But don't.

How would we find you without asking? We have no idea what you look like or even your gender... :)

Granted Im not going to be down untill Christmas, but its a cool mystery.

If we all do decide on doing a May get together we will all walk around the Star tours area and Shout out "LION", or "Here Kitty Kitty". Just kidding, but I do think we should have a meet on the east coast. Lions already there and several others are as well.

Okay, I was just checking this thread and was eating a hot pizza roll. And I come across Dr. Ravenscroft's post. Let's just say pizza flecks landed on the monitor.

I guess you would have to ask around just a bit. Some key questions would find me out right away.

I do want to have a Subsonic radio meet at WDW. That would be really cool and or really awkward. I would love to chill at a theme park with ya'll for a day or something like that. I leave on May 12th, so pretty much anytime before that would be cool. If ya sing "in the jungle the mighty jungle...", I probably will respond with a laugh or something.

There's not much to post since I have the day off and am just sitting here eating lunch(3:45pm). I really feel like doing nothing all day long. But I feel like I'm wasting the day because the weather is actually nice for a change.

Has anyone been to the Outlet Mall? It's right off the freeway and near the Common's Apt. I'm not sure what the name actually is, but there's a store called Character Premiere there. It's a pretty cool store because it has merchandise and especially apparel from the theme parks and resorts. They even have some Everest apparel already. Pretty good deals, especially for me who hates to shop.

Well I'm just going to lounge around the apt for while :roll:

sorry for such a lame and short post.
