It's Clobber Time!!

My sister is fragrant. Here is a picture of her baby What a little angel.

On a side note, yesterday on harvest moon, it's a wonderful life,
I almost killed all my cows, my goat, and my sheep. Lovecow, mad, studick, and pretty were all sick and needed the animal medicine. Goatdog, my goat, stopped giving milk he was so sick, and sheepy's eyes were no longer shiney as they normally are. Only my horse, hound, was still okay. All this because I forgot to pause it when jack came over and so 7 days passed without my sleeping, eating or feeding my animals or watering any of my crops. I'm sure my relationships suffered as well. Luckily, I hadn't saved my game so I was able to go right back to where I started. But damn that little bastard. Kids! Kids today. And goats. Can't live with em', can't starve em to death.

disney report

I went to disney world on 9/7, that's the day we flew in , that is. On 9/8 my mother, aunty, cousin, and myself went to the magic kingdom. Did you know that in Disney World the castle is Cinderella's? In disney land it is Sleeping Beauty's. That is the only difference between the magic kingdom and disneyland. First of all, the disneyland park at disneyworld is called the magic kingdom. I didn't know this until I went there. The whole place, epcot, mgm studios, animal kingdom, blizzard island, typhoon lagoon, pleasure island, and downtown disney are all part of disneyworld.
The 2nd day we went to animal kingdom. This is sort of a new park. It has the tree of life from a bug's life which is cool because it has all these animals carved in it and inside is a 3d movie with a bugs life characters. The have a nepalese river raft ride, an african safari ride (with real animals), and a bunch of other animal related crap that I didn't really care for. But the rides were neat and the africa/asia replications were neat.
The 3rd day we went to mgm in the morning and epcot in the evening. MGM has the tower of terror, a ride that takes you up 13 stories and then drops you down and then brings you up and again and then drops you back down over and over again until you barf. It also has aerosmith's rock n' roll roller coaster which is pretty neat. It's like driving in L.A. All the road signs are from southern california and it goes really fast and upsidedown and stuff. Mgm has a whole bunch of other move related stuff that is pretty cool. My favorite thing there was probably the muppet 3d show. Muppets! In 3D! We went to epcot that night and briefly went through all the countries and then watched the big fireworks show. I got a guinness at the rose&crown pub in merry old england and an eggroll in china. There is a lot of alchohol at disneyworld. And smoking. You can smoke in the park. Isn't that weird.
I'll finish the next three days another time. I'm tired of writing

no pictures yet

I still don't have any pictures from my trip and I was sort of waiting until I did before I posted a big long blog about the good fun times I had. I think it is funny that justin thinks I wouldn't like disney world. It makes me think that he doesn't know me at all. You don't know me! I'm outta heeeeare. I love disney world. I don't especially like disney as a corporation or corporations in general but in terms of having a good fun time disneyworld/land is tops. Rolly coasters and characters and stuff. Plus I love most of the movies. Obviously not all of them but I have seen the little mermaid about a hundred thousand times and I love beauty and the beast and the lion king and lots of the old ones too.

One funny thing about disney that I realized on this trip was how strange it is that they have Splash Mountain. Disney has decided to withhold the movie Song of the South because it is sort of racially charged I guess. I've never actually seen it but apparently it sort of paints an idyllic picture of what the master/slave/former slave relationship was like after the civil war and also portrays characters in a fairly questionable stereotypical way. Anyway, they won't release the movie but they built a whole ride based on the movie and it's characters. It is my favorite ride. I went on it like 5 times. It is one of their most, if not the most popular rides at the park. Though I like space mountain best.

Isn't that sort of odd?

Have a magical day

That's what they say at disney all the time. Have a magical day. Although, since most of them have to go home every day to trees in their living rooms and no power, I did sense a touch of insincerity in their delivery which is not what I paid for. Actually, I got exactly what I paid for. I had the funnest time ever and everyone who reads this should be jealous including myself since now I am back in cold cold oregon. When I left it was summer, it was summer yesterday in florida, and now it is like 50 degrees in medford. Stupid Oregon. I am not going to spend a lot of time on details in this post since I don't have a lot of time right now but I will post some pictures and write some more about the trip as a whole either tomorrow or monday. To tide you over, here is a picture of my cousin maggie who I had fun with. She took this at a kodak digital picture thing at epcot.

P.S. I watched Raising Helen on the plane ride to florida, Garden State at the ginormous egantic AMC movie theater on pleasure island, The Day After Tommorrow and Something's Gotta Give on the plane ride back from florida, and then Napolean Dynomite yesterday when I got home. Each one was special in their own way but Garden State was great.

kolchak; the night stalker

This is a story my brother wrote with a picture of Kolchak Russel Murphy, aka Jack, aka cutest nephew ever. He calls himself Baby. No one knows why but now we've started calling him that too. He calls me mandy, my mom dam ma, and my dad murph.
He walks and talks now. Crazy. He is my brother's kid, the brother I live with. My only brother actually. The picture in the corner of the picture is my brother but all that is explained in the story.
