-Welcome back to another edition of the Two Minute Drill. The weekend is almost here! One more day and its Saturday!! But for now, there's still work to be done. So without further ado..
-As you can tell I posted some pics of the new Harry Potter movie "Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire". The film seems to be moving along and we may get to see a teaser trailer pretty soon. The first photo is of Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermoine (Emma Watson)and Rita Skeeter (Miranda Richardson). The second picture is of Harry and Ron (Rupert Grint) by the looks of it at the Yule Ball. If you havent read the books, you will have no idea what I am talking about! But for those of you that have, I'm sure these pictures have you excited. I will try to post new ones whenever I come across them.
-My ultimate goal is to have a snazzy looking journal instead of a bunch of text and no graphics. As the days go on I will be trying new designs and layouts. So dont be alarmed if you come to the site and it looks a bit different.
-So President Bush begins his second term, officialy now that he has been sworn in. As of this writing his approval rating stands at 50%. This is the lowest approval rating for an incumbent president since Richard Nixon took office back in the early 70's. The thing that i find funny, (In a "Only in America" kind of way) is that half the country doesnt approve of him, yet he was re-elected!!! Um, its kinda too late to say you dont like the job he is doing, now that you cant do anything about it! We'll see how "W:2" goes these next 4 years..
-If you havent already check out www.jibjab.com. They have a new politcal cartoon about Bush's second term. Still not as good as their first one, but better than the last one they did!
-Just some quick Disneyland notes: A new Toy Story themed area has been approved for construction in the area behind Big Thunder Mountain in Frontierland. Its not expected to open until 2007 though. Meanwhile, over in California Adventure they will be adding a thrill ride based on "The Incredibles" This one might be put on the fast track to completion just because that park REALLY REALLY needs the rides! While we are on the subject of fast track, a new 24-7 work schedule has been approved for the construction going on at Space Mountain and it is now expected this ride will re-open in late July instead of the original late 2005 completion date. It is their hope that Space Mountain will be up and running by the time the "official" 50th anniversary of the park (July 17)..
-The Simpsons will be celebrating its 350th episode later this year. I am a huge fan of this show and its really the only show I still watch regularly without missing an episode. It is, in my humble and unbiased opinion, the funniest show on TV. So many other shows stop being funny after a few seasons. The Simpsons is on its 16th season with no signs of slowing down. I see them going MAYBE 2 or 3 more seasons before they call it quits though. The producers have stated that as soon as the show wraps its final episode, they will begin work on The Simpsons Movie. Already they have assigned a team of writers to work on the script. However, when asked when we would expect to see the movie hit theatre's Executive Producer James Brooks simply said: "Put us down for Summer..2020!"
Well one thing you wont have to wait til 2020 to see is the end of this posting. Cuz, its here now! Enjoy your weekends and unless I am inspired to write something, dont expect a posting til late Sunday nite. And dont forget to deposit any comments (positive or negative!) in the comment boxes. Links are provided at the end of each column! Til the next time we meet..
