A verdict is one thing. Actual consequences is another. I don't have time to read all the pundits right now, but I expect with appeals and such, it's not going to be over for a while. I don't expect it will have any effect on his eligibility for the election, and it's just going to feed more fire on the "any election or proceeding is rigged unless the outcome is favorable to him" crowd.
I saw #YoungWomanAndTheSea yesterday, a film based on the true story of Gertrude "Trudy" Ederle, the first woman to swim across the English Channel, in 1926.
Such a terrific movie, very well done, great job by #DaisyRidley and the rest of the ensemble cast, even when they're playing characters you'd like to toss into the ocean. /1
I was at an early access screening at #AMCTheatres , in support of #USASwimming . I was surprised to see quite a number of younger children there, between the ages of maybe 7 and 12, to the point where I wondered whether I was in the wrong theatre.
Well, my preconceived notions clearly showed, because the kids were quiet throughout the whole movie. They were absolutely engaged. Maybe they were swimmers themselves or had siblings that were? /2
If you get a chance, I highly recommend this film. One warning, though - if you're inclined to seasickness symptoms while watching movies with water motions, you'll want to look away for a bit during certain nausea-inducing scenes. Ask me how I know. 🤢 #YoungWomanAndTheSea /3 end
In June 2013, we were very lucky to attend a special celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Tiki Room at #Disneyland , and the event included being in the Tiki Room, with #RichardMSherman singing songs at a baby grand piano that had been brought in. Such an amazing evening.
At #PixarPalsPlaytimeParty in the #FantasylandTheatre in #Disneyland for #PixarFest , there's also a photo op for #ItsABugsLife, and included in that is a box of Casey Jr. cookies. The "nutrition facts" caught my eye. 8,000 calorie diet seems ... high? And there's always a disclaimer about what could inadvertently be included, but the last line seems like more than you should expect? And, the mis-spelling is not mine. 1/2
For lunch today from #AwardWieners , I tried the plant-based Philly dog, topped with mushrooms, grilled onions and peppers and dairy-free crema. For some reason, I hadn't expected there to be a hot dog, just the vegetables. That might have been better, as the hot dog had zero flavor. None. I ended up having to put mustard on it to give it some flavor. It's not the first time I've encountered a plant-based product devoid of flavor, even something as simple as just salt. I don't get it. 1/2
I also tried the asada fries - filmstrip fries topped with marinated carne asada, cheddar cheese, cilantro and onions, with salsa de arbol and guacamole. I enjoyed this, and the guac was particularly good. #AwardWieners#DisneyCaliforniaAdventure 2/2
Friends got the mixed emotions popcorn (ube-flavored popcorn with M&Ms, freeze-dried Skittles and pretzel sticks) from #TroubadourTavern , and I had a taste. Really liked it all, very tasty. #Disneyland#PixarFest
After Fantasmic and fireworks last night, we rode Storybook and then headed to Toontown for a couple rides, and then made our way to #TropicalHideaway for a late night treat.
We had the pineapple coconut float, pineapple-coconut juice topped with pineapple soft serve, strawberry lava and a turtle gummy. Really enjoyed it, and it was a good way to wind down the day while enjoying additional time with friends. #Disneyland
Dinner last night was at #CafeOrleans, and I had the beef bourguignon. Well, that's what it's called on the menu. But it was really more like pot roast. It was really tasty, good seasoning and texture on the beef and very flavorful accompaniments instead of just being boiled to death.
Cafe Orleans seems to have a penchant for mis-naming things, as they'd also previously referred to a sauce as "vegetarian bolognese". #Disneyland
