Today's "WTF?!?" moment.

This was passed down to me through a chain of people, apparently starting with Neil Gaiman, who brought this all to light.

Yeah.... THAT Neil Gaiman.

Okay, in a move that worries me greatly, the US Department of Education has decided that over 200 television programs are inappropriate for closed-caption funding.

Samples of inappropriate programs:
Bewitched
I Dream of Jeannie
Lizzie McGuire
The Simpsons
What's New Scooby-Doo?
Wisconsin Public Television Sports

You get the idea. OH NOS! THE DEAF MUST BE PROTECTED FROM THE CHEESEHEADS!

What a load of CRAP! This panel has no right to proclaim what programming is safe for deaf people to watch. Why is the US treating these people as second class citizens? This is as low and dirty as the report that claimed Canada was a threat to the United State because we had a right to freedom of speech.

Of course, the truth is much more strange then anything I can write, so read the whole article on Gaiman's page. CLICKIE!

Durr...

That's the sound my brain is making.

Durr...

There it goes again. I didn't have a good day at all. Thus the noises.

Durr...

Mom and I were trying to figure out the plans in case of a strike. I might fly home on the 8th of March if the strike goes.

Jen's asking for me to bring home DVDs. Mostly my MST3K and Buckaroo Banzai. Oh, and my copy of the Hitchhiker's Trilogy. We were on the phone for an hour discussing Spring break. Seven days of peace, love and pizza rolls. I already know the hotel we're staying at and the planned parks. I love the fact my dad is an old school Disney fan. ::dances::

Run in fear as Rachelle Banzai and Perfect Jenny invade Central Flordia.

I'm not sure if we're visiting Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure. Me is split on them. IoA means more coasters, but US means a chance to show Katie who John Connor is and why he has a slingshot. (inside joke).

We are going to Epcot again, FINALLY. Now I get to see just how much Eisner spit on it. Epcot: Home of the world's most expensive Spin-N-Puke. Meh, I'll finally get on Test Track. I demand that we visit both the Canada display and Innoventions so I can screw with the cast members' heads.

The Wonders of Life pavilion, Carousel of Progress and The Timekeeper all operate "seasonally" now. Dang. Because it's a Spring Break I hope they'll be open. I haven't visited The Wonders of Life in ages and I love The Timekeeper. It's so bizarre. CoP is give or take depending on my mood. Alien Encounter has been an officially dead ride since last year. No real loss. Problem is that takes out a large chunk of the Tomorrowland rides. ::sigh::

And huuuuge thanks to the folks over at The Sound of Magic for posting the Space Mountian musical tracks. Even though it's a very small coaster, I love that ride to little bits. They even have the boarding warning from Star Tours. That's so... bwhahahaha! I just wish they hadn't "watermarked" the mp3 of the exit music from The Timekeeper.

And Katie, they have a whole flipping page with Haunted Mansion music (from the ride, not the movie... eww.), including the separate tracks for each character set in the graveyard scene. Coolness.

They didn't have "Hidden Pathways", though. I can never win them all.
