Day 1571: Reading and Writing

While it's been nearly 16 years since I was last in Kindergarten, I can still clearly remember some of my first favorite books. One in particular could probably be better described by my mother, but I remember it because it was one of two books I read constantly on a trip to Walt Disney World. The first book, which was called Up, Up and Away, or something similar, was about a rocketship...and that's absolutely all I remember about the plot of the book. Regardless, I remember reading it at dinner at The Garden Grill that trip, showing it to Chip and Dale as they stopped by the table. I also remember the mac & cheese, which, quite honestly, I could go for right about now. 

The second, and the one I remember the most, was called Chick’s Walk and was about a little chick who roamed around meeting new animals. Chick would say hello to each one, from the pigs to the cows to the alligator…wait. Alligator? Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. (That’s how the book ends…because of course, a chick probably doesn’t want to meet an alligator.

After that, there was only one book amongst the slew of others I read: The Ghost Family Meets Its Match. It was about a family of ghosts who, at the start of the book, live happily in their ghostly retreat. Then, out of the blue, another family moves into the house, and the ghost family devises a plan to haunt the newcomers out of the building. Only it doesn’t work…because the new family is a bunch of werewolves! They lived happily ever (eternally?) after in the house after that. I must have checked out that book at least every other week for a good few years in Elementary school, and I distinctly remember making my parents read it to me until I had it memorized…and then I read it by myself hidden in their closet. Why the closet? I have no idea, but I do know that it’s the one book I’d give anything to have a copy of now that I’m older.

While I wonder if The Ghost Family Meets Its Match is still hidden somewhere in my elementary school library (even though I wore out the binding before I even left), a few other books also come to mind, like all those series I read anywhere between second grade and the end of middle school: Heartland, Warriors, Little House on the Prairie, Harry Potter, The Princess Diaries (but definitely not in that exact order). Each was completely different, but like Chick's Walk and Up, Up, and Away, they all contributed to one important element of my reading and writing: a personal style. 

We all love different books, and we all write different ways, and the way I look at it, the books we read throughout our life make up a unique recipe for our writing style, as we take little bits and pieces from things we've read and apply them to our own style. I mean, I can't say that I'm about to write a story about a chick and an alligator, but I definitely love short funny moments in my writing, and that's exactly something that was in Chick's Walk all those years ago. So reading is important, my friends, especially if you want to be a writer. 

Have a magical day!

Day 1529: Reading For Fun

Our prompt this week for Creative Writing Seminar is to write about something we've been reading lately, or have read, outside of class that has either inspired us or put us off. If I was lying, I'd probably go on some rant about how much I enjoyed reading The Martian this past summer and how it really impacted me emotionally and reminded me just how much I love reading (although, is suppose, that wouldn't be all that distant from the truth). However, as Pinocchio taught me, I must not tell a lie, and that means that I have to be honest about the fact that I haven't had a lot of time for reading lately. Aside from my regular schoolwork, all my spare time has gone to rehearsing for Knights on Broadway, which leaves in just a couple of days to perform in Florida, or practicing my pieces for my recital, which is quickly approaching in just over a month. So yeah, not a lot of time to spare. Unless I learn how to dance while reading. That could be fun. 

I suppose I do  have that giant and ever-growing stack of books that resides on the bottom shelf of my bedside table, which features novels and memoirs I've been intending to read and may finally dig into sometime this upcoming summer (that's probably wishful thinking though). Still, even as I think back to what I've read over the past few years (which, as I said, isn't much), nothing really stands out to me as important in some way. Actually, it's almost as though I can't remember any book I've ever read (except, apparently, The Martian and Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?). So no, I suppose I don't have an answer to the question about which book I particularly enjoyed or didn't enjoy, and maybe that says something interesting in itself. 

A significant portion of my life has been spent reading, and there are days when I want nothing more than to curl up on my balcony or in a comfy chair with some tea, a blanket, and some excellent music just so I can spend an evening reading the latest hardcover or paperback I've picked up. However, with being a full time college student, recently those books have been more in the realm of Shakespeare plays I'm reading for my independent study rather than something for fun (not that Shakespeare isn't fun). It's still reading, yes, and I can definitely still curl up with a blanket and some tea, but there's still a difference between reading for enjoyment and reading about the typical range of your average Bb Trumpet. 

It is important to note, however, that I typically bring books with me when I'm traveling. I almost always buy a new one before I leave, because there's always ample time for me to do nothing but read while sitting at an airport or on a plane. It's like time automatically set aside for reading. Unless, of course, I manage to finish my book before I even get on the plane. Then we have a problem. Coincidentally, I've also been known to do some of my best writing on planes, so perhaps I should be reconsidering my life choices and spending more time at airports and less time on the couch in my living room. The goods news here is that I'll be traveling within the next 48 hours (I'll actually be in Florida 48 hours from now), so perhaps I might actually get some reading and writing done then. 

None of this has been a description of a book that's influenced me though, mostly because I still can't recall most of what I've read in the past couple of years. It's amazing how your memory will fail you like that. So I'll just go with a blanket answer - it's not as much about what I've read recently or in my life as much as it's about why I've read. Reading (and writing) have been important parts of my life for almost as long as I can remember, reaching all the way back to reading a children's book called The Ghost Family Meets Its Match in my parents' closet every other week (the library wouldn't let me check it out more frequently than that), and all the reading that has shaped me into the book-loving English major I am today. Plus, there's definitely something to be said about all the wonderful books that inspired Disney movies over the years, because yes, this is still a Disney blog and I have to relate it somehow. Just think, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Sleeping Beauty, Tangled, or Cinderella wouldn't exist if not for the fairy tales they're based on. Even films such as 101 Dalmatians and Mary Poppins are derived from the pages of a book, and those films have definitely inspired me throughout my life, so there you go. 

Which means that the answer to the initial question, about what I've read that has impacted me in some way, lies somewhere in between The Ghost Family Meets Its Match and Mary Poppins, although to be fair, I've never actually read Mary Poppins. 

I should probably get on that. 

Have a magical day! 

Day 1257: The Martian

One of my goals this summer was to read more. After all, for an English major, I really don't do much reading at all, and that's probably not beneficial to my overall education here at St. Norbert. I suppose some of it has to do with the fact that what I read in class is more than enough for my attention span per day, but as I've picked up a couple of books already, I've remember just how much I really miss reading. Just the simple act of sitting down on the balcony outside and reading is really calming, and drastically different from all the binge watching of The Office I've been doing recently.

After getting back from Florida and finishing the last book I read, an easy read about a road trip, I knew exactly what I wanted to read next. The last time I happened to be looking around Barnes and Noble I spotted a copy of The Martian, the film that everyone loved so much a few months ago. I intended to see the film, but since I didn't actually get around to it yet, I figured that reading the book first was probably a fair plan, and I'm happy to say that after three days of reading here and there I'm almost finished...and I bought the movie today so I can watch it when I do finish.

If you're not familiar with The Martian, it's basically the story of a man stranded accidentally on Mars after a failed mission, and about his struggle to both survive and get home to Earth. It's a great read for sure, definitely witty and suspenseful all at once, but it's also made me think of a particular Disney attraction, which I've never actually been on.

To be fair, I've been in the after show area of Mission SPACE, but my motion sickness paired with an intense simulator sounds like a prime recipe for disaster. So instead of risking it, I've just avoided it, and now it's actually the only attraction at Walt Disney World I've never been on. I do know what it's about though, and the fact that it's a mission to Mars offers more than enough of a connection to The Martian itself, but it's actually the game in the exit area that really reminded me of this book.

If you're unfamiliar with the area, like if you just walk by it after the ride every time, there's numerous games and a play area for the kids, and actually it's often not all that busy, making it a great place to cool off or take a break. Inside, you can play this video game, which I'm playing in the picture above, that sends you on a mission to rescue fellow astronauts on Mars. Now, if that's not like The Martian, I don't know what is (although in the book/movie, he's the only one there...no one to save him but himself). Either way, sometimes while I'm reading the book I just sort of picture the video game, although the game has a lot more sunlight than the picture in my head does.

I highly recommend The Martian, at least the book. I'll let you know about the movie once I watch it. And if you haven't stopped to play the games at the end of Mission SPACE, check them out sometime! They're pretty entertaining and a lot of fun!

Have a magical day!

Day 748: Disney Desk Flair

It seems that with being back at school, I suddenly have found a wealth of new blog post topics, even if this one is more inspired by the Disney Style blog than my own dorm room.

Today, while in search of the last few blog posts to make up for the last week of nothingness since, really, all I did was edit video and that can only fit into one topic, I found one about Disney Desk Flair, showcasing some of the interesting desks at the Disney offices.

It's always been a dream for me to have a Disney office, and someday hopefully I'll get to that point. I can't even begin to express how many times I've seen something at Disney World and turned to my dad and said "For my office" as if I have one and know exactly where it's going to go.

Of course, not all of it is going to end up in the office in the end, as you really do have to keep things clean, but I loved this article, which you can read HERE, and couldn't help but think of my own desk here at school.

My desk has changed a little bit from last semester, largely due to the fact that I have almost twice the number of books now as I did then, and I still have bookshelves filled at home. Overflowing in fact. But overall, there's a lot of Disney influence in my desk without it constantly screaming Disney!

I think one of the things that really helps tie it all together is the nautical sort of theme I have going on. I found the jar at Hobby Lobby in the fall and instantly loved it, a plan forming in my mind. I picked up the sand that currently resides in it this past trip in January, right from the little beach on the walkway near the Magic Kingdom monorail station where my brick is! The little boat also came from Hobby Lobby and the Seagull (from Finding Nemo) is another of the things I picked up on my trip.

But that doesn't mean there's not a fair share of real Disney stuff. I may have a lot of books, but I feel like if there's two stereotypes of English majors, it's lots of books and lots of mugs. I definitely have both and ran into the issue of "where do I put all these mugs?" I solved my issue by working them into my desk decor. Here you can see my Fairy Tale collection next to my Mickey's Diner travel mug and my "I'm Inspired to have dreams as big as Walt Disney" quote frame!

Remember when I said there was a nautical theme? Yeah, more like Captain Hook. Somewhere along the line I got really into the whole pirate and Irish thing, and maybe, just maybe, it's got something to do with the guy in the middle in the frame here. 

And of course, I've got my Vinylmation. I've had numerous people compliment me on these little guys, and I really am in love with the custom designed shelf my Dad and Brother made me to help hold them. There's more at home, but these are my five favorites, and they look rather good together, don't you think?

But no post about my Disney Desk Flair could be complete without this little beauty. I've talked about it numerous times, but my Mickey Mouse wreath that Megan made me for our high school graduation is one of my absolute favorite things. It'll definitely be coming with me if I do get a Disney desk someday. 

This is just the beginning though. There's plenty of other little Disney hints on my desk, and it would probably take me a while to could them all up. Plus, I'll soon have a new desk to add just a little bit of flair to, even if I'll be the only one who ever really sees it down in the deep, dark, music library. 

Have a magical day!

Day 253: #SaveTheBooks

Today has been an interesting day, and that's a lot to say considering it's barely into the afternoon and I have no clue what the rest of the day will hold. But still, it has been, well, interesting, obviously. This morning was my weekly 8 A.M. class, so I went to that, and then my class at 9, and then my class at 10. But in the middle of my class at 10 this morning, the fire alarm went off. We figured it was a drill or something, so we headed out of the library, where the class is held, and waited.

Then the firetrucks came...and the ambulances, and the police cars, and they blocked off the road, and we were all just standing there for a good twenty minutes while they apparently checked the sprinkler system because it was being weird. That's fine with me, because time out of class is time out of class, even if it is one of my favorite classes. Still, that's how things worked.

And of course, I had to Instagram about the moment too, because, well, of course I had to! It would just be wrong not to Instagram about the fact that I was missing class because the library had something going on and there were firetrucks everywhere! But I think my favorite part about the entire thing was the hashtag I used, #savethebooks. I mean, that makes sense, right? If the library is on fire, one wants to obviously save the books!

But this brought another thought into my mind, a while after the library had reopened and we finished class and I headed to lunch. You see, #savethebooks brought a certain Disney reference into my mind, and if you know me, or Disney really well, you may know where I'm going with this.

Spaceship Earth.

Yes, again. It seems I can relate just about everything in my life to something that happens in that attraction (and honestly I don't post half of it here on my blog). This time though, the particular line from after the burning of Rome came to mind, the one where she specifically says "The books are saved, and with them our dreams of the future." Yeah, it's the world's first backup system. Too bad our library probably doesn't have one of those. Then again, our library isn't the home of some of the only copies of books for the world, but still!

Plus, I'm pretty sure our school doesn't have any Arab and Jewish scholars either.

"Artistic" is the prompt for today's Frumpstagram post, and so I went back and looked through my pictures until I found this, a drawing of Pluto I did at Disney Quest back in 2011 when I was there for FBLA. Great memories right there!

And here's today's Disney History: 1999: The Tatooine Traders merchandise shop (attached to the Star Tours attraction) opens at the Disney-MGM Studios. Previously called the Endor Vendors shop, Tatooine Traders features a wide variety of Star Wars Merchandise.



Have a magical day!

Day 129: My Disney Collection V2

Last time I talked about my Disney collection, I gave a basic tour of my room and then showcased the things that line my walls. But what about my bookshelves? There's plenty of Disney there too of course, and it makes perfect sense that they get an entire blog post just about them!

I have two bookshelves, although one is certainly more Disney themed than the other. Here's my first one, the non-Disney one, but it still has a few Disney parts to it, and especially around it. On top sits those Star Wars posters I talked about in the last volume of my Disney Collection.

And off to either side I've got things too. On the right sit some of my shoes, most noticeably my yellow converse, which I love to use for Disneybounding. But I have the grey shoes too, and use them as a Disney bound piece all the time as well. And on the left side, sitting on my bedside table, I've got my Han Solo M&M dispenser, which I got over a year ago. Obviously I keep it for the Han Solo-ness and not the chocolate. 

But as I said before, my other bookshelf is really where the Disney stuff sits. There's a whole bunch of it!

It all starts on the top of the bookshelf, where I have my Mickey Mouse lamp. It's pretty cool if you ask me. 

And the first shelf? It's all Disney! I have my copies of the Kingdom Keepers (not book 6 since that wans't out when I took these pictures, plus I don't know where I'll fit it yet!), as well as Peter and the Starcatchers. And then my Once book, my Disney dogs book, DisneyWar and the Quoteable Walt Disney. I have plenty of other books though...but that's for another volume.

But my next shelf is probably my favorite! It's filled with randomness, namely my CD's and such, but also has one of these little guys: 

If you visited Epcot several years ago you might have seen the Robots exhibit, and you could have gotten one of these for free. You'll see another one up on my shelf in one of the upcoming posts, but I'm sure I have at least four or five...just that I made. There are tons of other ones that people in my family have made too. 

But by far one of my most prized non-Disney (well...up until recently) possessions is the following: My Indiana Jones hat. Yes. It's official. I got it from Disney and everything. It's an Indy hat, through and through. Occasionally I'll wear it, but most of the time it sits proudly...right on top of two of my favorite books...my "The Making of Indiana Jones" and "The Making of The Empire Strikes Back" books! I got them both for Christmas, and don't think I could ever look through them enough. I tend to mark my favorite Harrison Ford stories too, but, as always, that's for another post.

And I guess you could say my last bookshelf is under my TV...where I keep all of my movies. I have them organized of course, and there's plenty of Disney movies down there! You can't really see it that well, but the taller stack in the back in my Disney movies...aside from those my family owns. The front stack is my general movies, and to the left I have my small selection of Blu-Ray's and Harrison Ford movies (yes, they're separate), and behind are Indy, Star Wars (Blu-Ray and VHS!), my Seasons of the Muppet show and I love Lucy. Hours and hours of stuff for me to watch when I get bored!

So that's the end of Volume 2 of my Disney collection. Of course, there's plenty more to see. In the next post we'll take a trip outside of my bedroom to see my Disney mug collection, and after that there's still the rest of my shelves and a very special Spaceship Earth collection!

Here's today's Disney History: 1954: Walt Disney's daughter Diane marries USC football player Ron Miller at the All Saints by the Sea Episcopal Church in Montecito, California. The "Football" ceremony features a minister who was a former player & coach, and a five-tier cake topped with female and male football players. Diane and Ron will have seven children and in 1983, Ron will become CEO of Walt Disney Productions. 

Have a magical day!

Day 77: Jeopardy

As I continue to submit applications for things involving college, I have written quite a few essays. But here is my most recent, which obviously and easily relates to Disney. The question was "If you could create your ideal Jeopardy board, what six categories would you choose? Give an example question in each category."

As long as I can remember, I’ve had a love-hate relationship with the popular quiz show, Jeopardy. Each week millions of people tune into the show, and while I am generally not one of them, the show still holds quite a bit of sentimental value. It is no question to any of my friends that I love Disney, considering I have traveled to the Walt Disney World Resort 23 times and I write a daily blog called Everyday Disney. But there is one attraction at Walt Disney World that is largely centered around the quiz show, meaning that I will forever think of Ellen Degeneres learning about energy with Bill Nye the Science Guy when someone begins to hum the theme song. But with categories ranging from “The Final Frontier,” “That Old Time Television,” “Mind Your Manners,” and “Yeah, I play the oboe,” it’s hard to imagine knowing any of the answers to just one game, much less those for many games in a row. Personally, if I do watch, I feel much like Ellen in the Disney attraction, having no idea how to respond to any clue the show gives out. I celebrate if I know just one answer each show, unlike the contestants who come back day after day with one correct response after the other. But if I were to create my own Jeopardy board, what would happen, and more importantly, what would the questions be?

Since Jeopardy always reminds me of Disney, it should be no surprise that my first category is located there. Titled “It’s a Small World,” after the popular attraction, this group would focus on everything that includes the Disney Parks. I took my first trip to Walt Disney World at only 15 months old, and I’ve gone back as often as possible, meaning that I know the parks like the back of my hand. I often get the question if I ever find it boring to return year after year, but the truth is, I never do. There’s always something new to explore, such as the newest addition to the Magic Kingdom, New Fantasyland. But it’s also the reason that this category really has endless questions, ranging from simple ones that I could answer in a heartbeat to ones that would take some time for me to figure out. For instance, for $200 the clue might be “This 18 story geodesic sphere is the symbol of Epcot.” The correct response? “What is Spaceship Earth,” my all time favorite attraction and the symbol of my second home. But for Final Jeopardy, Alex Trebek might say, “This fictional character is the creator of the Main Street U.S.A. Emporium at the Walt Disney World Resort.” After wagering some of my winnings and quite a bit of thought I would eventually come up with the answer, “Who is Osh Popham.” I knew the answers to both of these questions, but there are many others that even I wouldn’t be able to answer. Still, having a category such as “It’s a Small World” on my Jeopardy board would definitely set me ahead of my competition.

The second category focuses around one of my favorite things, especially in the “small world.” The Disney Parks are no stranger to good food, and so it’s no surprise that my board continues to focus around what I know best. In honor of one of my favorite Disney movies, “Beauty and the Beast,” as well as one of the newest Disney restaurants, “Be Our Guest,” this category is titled “Try the Grey Stuff, It’s Delicious.” As a child I often helped my mom in the kitchen, using my own little knife made specifically for kids, and for the past 10 years I have been a member of my local 4-H club, where I have entered in the Foods & Nutrition category for many years. While I don’t spend all of my time in the kitchen, I do enjoy recreating recipes from Disney restaurants as well as coming up with creations of my own. Of course, I own every Disney cookbook that has ever been in existence, and thanks to one of them I know the correct response to “Walt Disney usually offered lunch guests a glass of this vegetable juice or something similar before going to the studio commissary” would be “What is V8.”

For most of my life, and next to Disney, music has been one of the most important things to me. Named “Give a Little Whistle” after the song from the animated feature, Pinocchio, this category would focus around all things having to do with the melodies that I’ve grown to love. Eight years ago now I began playing oboe and only four years ago I started playing saxophone. Music in general, although specifically jazz, has defined who I am, and has provided me with leadership roles to help me grow and learn. For $600 a question here might be “This composer has been nominated for an Oscar more often than anyone else in any other category.” The answer is “Who is John Williams,” composer to popular films such as Star Wars, and one of my personal role models in the world of music. Although I am only a recent fan of much of his work, he has really inspired me to always give my best performance, and his music itself has helped me work on the expression needed to play my instruments. Aside from this he has also been part of my inspiration in my decision to pursue music as I advance in my education.

A fourth group on my Jeopardy board would easily focus around books, and would be titled “They’ve Got Character.” Reading has always been an interest of mine, and has taken me to far off lands many times over. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to choose just one favorite book, since there are so many to choose from, but I am fond of a series called The Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson. It is a multi-book series that features a group of teenagers who fight to save the Magic Kingdom. I’ve loved the series since the start, and am always waiting for the next book in the series to appear. But The Kingdom Keepers isn’t the only series I enjoy, as there are many other books on my long list of favorites. A few honorable mentions? The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Marley and Me by John Grogan and Peter and the Starcatchers, also by Ridley Pearson. I always love reading new books, often times in completely different genres, because if I don’t I’ll never discover some of the treasures that are out there. That’s why a great clue here would be “A historic novel that tells the story of W. P. Inman, a deserter of the Confederate Army during the Civil War,” in which the correct response would be “What is Cold Mountain?” What is now one of my favorite books started as one I had to read for class, and something that if I saw it at the library, I’d never pull it off the shelf. It just goes to prove you should never judge a book by it’s cover.

Speaking of the American Civil War, my next category would be “This Day in History.” I’ve always been interested in history, mostly due to an attraction at, you guessed it, Walt Disney World. The American Adventure at Epcot tells the thrilling tale of our country, and it features a song called Two Brothers, which tells the story of a family before, during and after the Civil War. As you can imagine, when I started Advanced American History in High School, I was quite excited, and throughout the course I really learned something about almost every piece of American History. At the beginning of each class period, our teacher would read us a list of what happened that particular day in history, and I’ve continued the tradition each and every day on my daily blog, Everyday Disney. It’s amazing to see what has happened to get us where we are today, and I find it all quite exciting. “It was on this day in history that the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio was created” would be a great clue to ask me, because I’d know the answer right away to be “What is October 16, 1923.” Knowing about our past enables each of us to push on into the future, and for me, knowing my Disney history will certainly help on my path towards working at Walt Disney Imagineering. Using lessons learned from the past, I will be able to create new and exciting experiences for guests visiting the Disney Parks in the future, and then someday maybe I’ll be in the history books!

It seems like common conversation to ask what one’s favorite movie is. I, on the other hand, am not exactly fond of this question, because I truly have no simple answer. The name of this final group is “The Great Movie Ride,” titled after the attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The ride features some of Hollywood’s greatest films, and the number of movies included in it showcases just how hard it really is to pick just one favorite movie. I personally have to separate my favorites list into categories, ranging from “Favorite Animated Disney Film” to “Favorite Live-Action Non-Disney Film.” It gets a bit complicated the further in depth I go, but the point still stands - I do not have just one favorite movie. But this isn’t a problem, not for me at least, since just as I love reading new books, I love watching new movies. If there is a movie I haven’t seen, you can bet I’ll probably want to watch it. That is, if it’s not a horror movie. Either way, a daily double clue might be “A dog was the inspiration for this adventure film hero’s nickname.” The correct response, “Who is Indiana Jones,” the star of some of my favorite films of all time.

With a Jeopardy board like this, there is no way I would feel like Ellen in her attraction at Walt Disney World any longer. If it wasn’t obvious before, my ideal board would focus around Disney, because as cheesy as it sounds, a board all about Disney would be my perfect round of Jeopardy. There are endless questions you could ask me, and I assure you there would be some I don’t know, but Disney has provided me with a lifetime of entertainment, experiences and lessons that have shaped who I am and will benefit me in the future. When it comes to Jeopardy, I can’t say I’ll always watch, but I do know the response to one final answer that I’m sure Alex Trebek, Ellen Degeneres and Walt Disney would all approve of. “This is the one source of power that will never run out.” The correct response - “Brain power.”

If you've ever been in the Universe of Energy, you'd know just as well as I do where the end of my essay comes from...and that it's the truth. The one source of power will never run out is Brain Power (although now that I look back I probably should have put "What is Brain power," but oh well!)

Here's today's Disney History: 1967: The Pirates of the Caribbean attraction opens in New Orleans Square at Disneyland, California. The debut kicks off with great excitement, as a group of marauding sea-dogs, led by Wally Boag, first sail on the sailing ship Columbia before bursting through the new attractions' doors with a battering ram. Also opening at Disneyland is the Blue Bayou Restaurant in New Orleans Square.

Have a magical day!
