ASLFLMSDKLDKLMSFFDLDLDF! ZOMG Jack Sparrow meet and greets coming to Disneyland!! *dies* Is it too early to claim dibs on first in line? :P

I was looking over the PotC premiere guest list posted over at Mice Chat... is it sad that I'd be more excited to see X. Atencio than anyone else? /Disney geek Not that I'll probably go anyways - the park is going to be insane that day.

Wolf Center meeting Wednesday... got the big rattlesnake lesson (they appear up there quite often) and the rundown of fire protocol as we head into fire season. They've had two major fires (Cedar and Pines) hit the center in the last 4 years, and there's lots of brush/fuel up there this year that we've been clearing. Julian already got its first fire this year a few months ago. Went up for my usual shift yesterday... just a little quickie day, out by 2. I worked on clearing the path around the building, because it's gotten completely overgrown. I got it like 1/3 done in about 4 hours of work. Stupid ragweed. That crap is hard to pull out of a hard-packed trail. Anyways, I went to lie down at about 6 in the evening... and didn't get up again til 9:30 this morning. Yaaaay, 14+ hours of sleep!

Interview this afternoon at a big biomedical research facility... I think it went well! Just playing the waiting game again.

Didn't have time to respond to all the "Sunday" (SPOILERS!!!) posts in everyone's LJ, 'cause EVERYONE is talking about it. :P So for those who don't read the Sparky thread on GW, here's my thoughts... ZOMG!! Lizzie gets a date!! SQUEEE! I love the idea. It think it'll be a great chance to see how she interacts with people when she's not working. And it's a nice chance for her to be Elizabeth the Woman, not just Elizabeth the Leader. It'll be interesting to see how her objections to the relationship play out, because when you're on top, there's no one that isn't a subordinate - it's lonely at the top! I really hope they don't go for the cliche plot of having him be the bad guy, because I think that would make for Liz look like she was getting played the whole time, and she deserves a shot at a REAL relationship.

I do, however, think it would be awesome if the big emergency "explosion" is something little, like an accident with a dry ice bomb or some other joke gone wrong, where the casualties are a few lab mice or something like that. That would be keeping in line with the whole "day off" episode idea. :P

I also gotta add my vote for Sean Maher as Mike, as has been proposed by [info]athenaktt. YUMMINESS.

And I'd KILL to hear Weir say at some point "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" :P

X. Atencio will be there?! Duuuuuude. :)

If only I could make it out there.
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on June 17th, 2006 02:11 am (UTC)
That's what the press release says! :D
almandot: drowning[info]almandot on June 17th, 2006 02:01 am (UTC)
I slept from 10am-5pm. Does that count? =D Woo a big biomedical research facility. How big? Why it's SO big, that..that...it's big okay!
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on June 17th, 2006 02:12 am (UTC)
LMAO! 10-5 is good, 'cause it's sleeping away the hottest part of the day! :P

It's biiig! It's definitely one of the most well-known (and well-respected) in SoCal. :P

Finally saw RENT the movie while I was in san fran btw. It was.. I wanted...I couldn't stop singing lines while they were trying to say them straight up heh. It was just hard to watch with the play songs stuck in my head I guess. Oh well =D OMG they took out Christmas Bells are Ringing :( And they took out like my favorite sequence of songs in it too, Halloween/Goodbye Love(the whole thing)/What You Own, but included them on the 2nd disc bonus features. Weird they did that. I was hoping they'd have the original film from broadway when he turns the projector on at the end too(they used the original broadway cast film in all the later versions of the play and national showings as far as I know).

It was hard to watch with the play songs stuck in my head I guess. oh well =D Angels death was
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on June 18th, 2006 08:04 pm (UTC)
Yeah, when I finally saw a bootleg of the show, I was all, "Oh! They SING all that!" :P I never actually saw the Halloween/Goodbye Love sequence because Netflix only sends one disc. But I think What You Own was in there, wasn't it?

Heee... was actually listening to the movie Rent soundtrack last night while I waited for Remember. :P
Sarah Beth: elphaba glinda[info]boston_princess on June 17th, 2006 02:22 am (UTC)
I... :confuse me?: jewhoiqewheoiI - IS Jack coming to WDW?!?!

And why the HELL don't I have a Captain Jack icon?!?!?!
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on June 17th, 2006 02:44 am (UTC)
Not sure about WDW, but that was from a pamphlet given out to DL CMs. :D

I don't have one either! :(
almandot[info]almandot on June 17th, 2006 03:08 am (UTC)
According to Al Lutz, he is coming to wdw, but Disneyland went to the effort of finding some darn good actors for it, then wdw said hey we should have him too and so got some people to do it but it won't be as good apparently.(That is sort of a discredit to the people who will be playing him at wdw themselves.. i'm sure they'll act their heart out if they're into it.)
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on June 17th, 2006 03:53 am (UTC)
The joys of living in the entertainment capital of the US! :P
Alex: Dean Wicked[info]mcalex22 on June 17th, 2006 02:23 am (UTC)
I did read the spoilers on GW last night - and I'm quite happy with this new plot line! I think it's about time Elizabeth got to meet some good-looking nice guy and have a chance at romance! :)

But it also sounds like a good character story for Weir and I really hope it's done well.

But the guys on Sunday... hehe, maybe we'll see some casual outfits ! :)
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on June 17th, 2006 02:46 am (UTC)
That's exactly why I'm lokoing forward to it! Should be a really interesting one for Weir, even if that's not the focus of the episode.

Oh, man, the thought of the guys in casual clothes has me drooling already! :D
vinsaneboy[info]vinsaneboy on June 17th, 2006 03:34 am (UTC)
Will Jack make Aladdin jealous?
Kirsten: Aladdin - Dragonslayer[info]xfkirsten on June 17th, 2006 03:52 am (UTC)
Yes. They can fight over me. :D
vinsaneboy[info]vinsaneboy on June 17th, 2006 02:42 pm (UTC)
What if they mortally wound each other?
Kirsten: Liz - O RLY[info]xfkirsten on June 18th, 2006 08:05 pm (UTC)
I'll use my magic powers to save both of them! And then they'll be eternally indebted to me, and they shall be my manslaves. :P
Sana-chan: big up my homie![info]sana_chan on June 17th, 2006 03:45 am (UTC)
Ragruagruagruagr I want to go I want to go!!!
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on June 17th, 2006 03:52 am (UTC)
Duuuude, find a day and we'll go! :D
The Duuuuuuude: Geeky[info]dcpesses on June 17th, 2006 05:09 am (UTC)
I do, however, think it would be awesome if the big emergency "explosion" is something little, like an accident with a dry ice bomb or some other joke gone wrong, where the casualties are a few lab mice or something like that. That would be keeping in line with the whole "day off" episode idea. :P

Can we say, Mythbusters reenactment? :D
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on June 17th, 2006 05:16 am (UTC)
LMAO! I can SO see the scientists playing their own version of Mythbusters. :P

Dry ice bombs were the GREATEST. 'Cept if they didn't go off at first, no one wanted to go near them. :P But they made the greatest bang!
The Duuuuuuude: Dopey[info]dcpesses on June 17th, 2006 05:21 am (UTC)
One of these days I'll edit and upload my Diet Coke & Mentos exploits. :D
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on June 17th, 2006 05:50 am (UTC)
You'd better! :P
[info]gekla on June 17th, 2006 09:25 am (UTC)
Good luck with interview!

You need to live in Disneyland! ;))
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on June 17th, 2006 12:50 pm (UTC)
Thanks! :)

Oh, I so wish I could!

Hmmm, that never occured to me. Great idea!
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on June 17th, 2006 12:51 pm (UTC)
That was actually the first thing that came to mind for me, just because it seemed like the whole episode was supposed to be lighter in tone (based on MG's original "day off" idea). :p
Amie[info]hipapheralkus on June 17th, 2006 09:27 pm (UTC)
Yeah, I think I like that idea too. I mean, it originally sounded like it would be an episode of little action, so that would fit in quite nicely :)
miss inthia: potc//jack face[info]garbagepixie on June 17th, 2006 11:10 pm (UTC)
X. Atencio = hell yeah!
I'm super excited about the meet and greets as well. Are you going on the 26th? (monday) or on the 25th? I think I'm going to go both days in hopes os getting on Pirates. I think it'd be a futile attempt to go on the premire saturday in hopes of seeing anyone. :/
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on June 18th, 2006 07:59 pm (UTC)
Re: X. Atencio = hell yeah!
I might!! I'm dying to see the new Pirates, but I can't plan too far ahead these days since I still don't know about the job situation. I saw your post about it - I'll let you know if I end up going! :)
Bizarra: Ariel live[info]bizarra on June 18th, 2006 04:55 am (UTC)
From one Disney and PoTC fan to another... I just friended you. :-) I love at the opposite end of the state that you do. :-) (Bay Area)
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on June 19th, 2006 02:23 am (UTC)
Glad to meet ya! *adds you back*
Sunny: SGA Torri a lil[info]sunny_serenity on June 19th, 2006 01:04 am (UTC)
Ah, okay I give. It WOULD be nice to see the 'normal' people side to them, her specifically. But Sean Maher? Dude, what's with the "Simon's"? I'm either squick'd or nick'd.

It would be funny if the dry ice was placed in a toilet and then bloweded up. Hee...
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on June 19th, 2006 02:25 am (UTC)
But Sean Maher is young and hot! :P

LMAO! I love it! Bored scientists = crazy practical jokes gone wrong :P
Ashley[info]chicalinda3 on June 19th, 2006 07:43 am (UTC)
:D
I work at Disneyland now. Im a costumer. Horray for cast member perks :D I met a few of the new Jack Sparrow Costume Characters. After the premire thing they are going to have the characters out there from time to time.
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on June 19th, 2006 08:50 pm (UTC)
Re: :D
Congrats! Entertainment costuming or general costuming?
