Here’s a quick blurb. Tonight, well yesterday now that it’s almost 2 am, I was out and about while a few of my friends went to Disneyland. I finished up with what I was doing and decided to meet them there. On the way, it started raining. It wasn’t bad at first and I love the rain, so what did I care.

Within minutes, my shoes were filling with water and the park was clearing out because all the smart people were heading home to their cozy homes. While we romped around the park, we went on a few rides, but each one felt like we were on Splash Mountain.

My friends thought I looked funny when I was eating, so they took some pictures of me and as soon as I get them, I’ll post them up here. As for right now, I’m going to sleep.

I just found an awesome site that has a bunch of paper models you can build spanning some cool parts of Disneyland, past and present. If you head over to DisneyExperience.com, you’ll find what I’m talking about.

As for this page, I’m going to show you what I’m working on right now:

Once I get a camera in here, I’m going to show you the pics of me actually building it and the slight modifications I made. In the meantime, here’s the mods:

1. Changed the font from the common StartedByAMouse to a commercial font called Kingdom — This cleaned up the overall look since the ‘free’ font is very jagged and is also out of proportion in some areas.
2. Used wood sticks painted yellow to represent the flag poles — Obviously this upped the ante on realism by replacing the paper cutout ones. I used the standard yellow Testors model paint.
3. Used a fine-tipped Sharpie to redraw the dotted fold lines to better hide them — There were a few areas where you could see the fold lines, so using a marker cleared this up and also added a little more definition to these areas.
