KIng's X - Over My Head dt

I usually give Twister a "courtesy ride" every year. I'd much rather spend my time on Phoenix. And eating. dt

Got the dreaded time glitch last night. Boo. dt

There are five at the moment. There are supposed to be seven total. He occasionally posts chapters of book six on his website. dt

Wow, this ride looks amazing. Hopefully some day I can get back to this park. dt

Excellent report with really great photos. Very interested in riding Banshee this summer. dt

^This. The internet is probably the worst place to get any sort of medical advice. Continue to consult with your doctors. Hope your health continues to improve. dt

Fat Tire! dt

Savatage - Gutter Ballet dt

Rush - Limelight dt

Still the best ride on the planet. dt

It's back and it works! Nice to see bugs being taken care of quickly. dt

My luck must be improving because I got a box of 100 Gold Eggs with my first box. Now I suspect it will be nothing but shrubbery for the rest of the event... dt

I think they turned the social feature off because I actually got a clam from someone's town yesterday! Glad to see they're willing to shut it down to fix the crashing bug. Hopefully it won't be too long, as I liked the extra coins. dt

Andromeda - Extension Of The Wish dt

I saw The Raid 2 yesterday. I'm not sure if I liked it more than the first one or not, but it certainly has a much larger budget than the last one. It also has a more involved plot line (a combo of The Godfather and The Departed), which means there are occasional stretches where people are not punching each other in the skulls. But never fear, the action sequences are completely insane, and get better as the film goes on. If you like crazy over the top fight sequences and are not turned off by violence, this will entertain. Plus, it's totally worth seeing just for something I like to call One Girl, Two Hammers. dt

Pallas - Arrive Alive dt

Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up dt

That was the first Topple Tower I ever rode back in 2005. And in 3 visits to the park after that, I never saw it running. Replacing it with something more reliable is a good idea. dt

^That is awesome. So far, I haven't found any extra clams, so I think it's going to be like the stupid Mystery Box that hates me (look, another shrubbery!). dt

I screw up everything! Seriously, I think the 3 level difference might be it, as it crashed on me awhile ago when I accessed someone's town that was at least 3 levels above me (I can't remember who at this point). I'll check this again the next time I'm in the game. And try to level faster! dt

Our movie viewing this weekend: Captain America: The Winter Soldier - The best comic book movie since The Avengers. In fact, The Avengers is the only comic book movie I'd rank above this one. It's more of a spy movie than a superhero film, and there are a lot of cool action sequences. The plot is a bit predictable if you've read a lot of spy novels or seen a lot of spy films, but it's still fun, and there's one decent "surprise" in the film (and one thing that surprised me that didn't happen, so I suppose that's two). Highly recommended. American Hustle - Well acted, well written, and I enjoyed it, but I doubt I'd ever watch it again. It's very slow at the beginning, and if the performances were not as great as they were, I likely would have given up on it. The second half was much better, it just took way too long to get there. Whoever was the music editor for this is a genius, as the song selection for the scenes was PERFECT. Worth a rental, but not as great as the hype lead me to believe. dt

Balance Of Power - House Of Pain dt

I remain skeptical that this would ever happen. Interesting plans, though. dt

Thanks for the awesome photos. Looks like a great ride! dt
