Andrew Speaks/Types

I saw Blue Man Group in concert off a limb (yesterday, check the time on this post) today. It was incredible. I’ll write a big long summary of it tomorrow or the next day, but for now I gotta get some Z’s. Night.

Last night I slept on a bus. That was interesting. Half the time I slept in a reclined chair, but when that got uncomfortable, (which was soon) I moved my slumber party to the floor of the bus. That was actually a lot more comfortable. Just stick a pillow under your head and dress warm and sleeping on the floor of a bus it pretty tops actually. I am officially recommending it.

Got off the bus at like 8 in the morning, ate a supreme omelette croissan’wich thing at Dunkin Doughnuts. That, I do not reccomend. That was a little less than satisfying. Next stop was Seaworld. Now, Seaworld was not at all what I expected it to be. The gist of Seaworld is this: 40% of Seaworld is shows that you have to get there early to see, 40% is gift shops (why so many, Seaworld, why?), and the other 10% is the two rides at Seaworld.

The shows are about 30 minutes long, and they all start at the same times of the day, so to see all of them, you’d pretty much have to stay at Seaworld all day. Also, you need to get in line for the shows about 45 minutes early, because they open the doors about 30 minutes before the show starts, then close the door about 20 minutes before the show starts, because now it’s full. Basically, waste of time.

SO MANY GIFT SHOPS. There is one gift shop for every single animal exhibit. Manatee exhibit? Gift shop. Penguins? Gift shop. Shamu? Gift shop. Otters? Gift shop. You get it. But the thing is, they have pretty different merchandise in every one. So Seaworld has way too many gifts for themselves to handle.

There are 2 rides at Seaworld. One is called the Journey To Atlantis. This is basically that ride that’s at every park there is where you’re in a big boat and you ride to the top of a big sloped tunnel then go down a flat slide. Like Escape From Pompeii at Bush Gardens or that log ride at Disney world. The thing about this one is that the tunnel to take you to the drop is like…Atlantis. Except it’s trying to, like, scare you. With eels and jellyfish. And mermaids. Eeeeee. The tunnel is really long, and takes up a really large majority of the ride. Pretty boring.

The other ride is actually a rollercoaster, and it’s pretty wicked. The Kraken. I’m a fan. Lots of loops and corkscrews, and it’s really smooth. Not much I can say about it other than it’s a kickin’ roller coaster. Enough said.

Tonight I got to go to the Virgin Megastore! WOO! I love that place. It’s probably one of the 10 greatest stores ever. Definitely. I bought some serious CDs, too.

Let Me Come Home by Limbeck
Roll On by The Living End
Emergency & I by The Dismemberment Plan
Renegades by Rage Against The Machine

Yeah, I know that the last one wasn’t a small label release, but I’m having a serious hard time finding it in my town and surrounding areas, plus it was just 10 dollars here. So I went for it. But I’m really excited for Limbeck and The D-Plan. I was really hoping to by Time To Echolocate by The Ebb And Flow, but they we’re all out. That really blows. I don’t know how I’m gonna get my hands on that album.

Tomorrow, I go to Universal Studios to ride more stuff. Right now, I’m gonna chat a bit and go to bed. Later.
