Have finished beading the fringe on one half of the stole. Now I just need to put glue on the knots and then bury all the thread tails. There are rather a lot of them.

Wonderful Husband downloaded the first episode of Jinki:Extend in its raw form. hoshikage, red girl (whatever her name is) only shows up for about twenty seconds toward the end of episode one. And it's very definitely a mecha-and-schoolgirls show thus far. Wonderful Husband is betting the fansubbers will start in on it pretty quick.

Also skimmed through volume three of Rozen Maiden. The "fanservice" episode of the anime as well as the "battle of the stairs" episode are in fact from the manga. Scary. Character alliances seem to be lining up a bit differently, though, at least with one character. Oh, and the "trauma" event from episode eleven that made me state the show wasn't for kids? Also from the manga....

*rolls eyes*

I've mentioned that my family is attempting to purchase one of the paving stones between Disneyland and the Disney California Adventure theme parks in memory of my grandfather, who (1) worked on Disneyland for a year before it opened, and (2) was the chief engineer on the ABC broadcast for opening day. The Disneyland Walk of Magical Memories has called us back to say that the "Harold Huntsman / June 17, 1955 / Disneyland USA" wording is not acceptable to them because "Disneyland" is a corporate name.

Disneyland does not want "Disneyland" on a paving stone between the Disneyland parks.

WTF?!

I've turned it over to my uncle, who is going to try to talk some sense into them. My father (who is, like Grandpa, a television engineer for ABC, which is now owned by Disney) is going to write a letter to Michael Eisner, whom he met the other day, explaining the situation and history.
