My Kombucha tea was recently pulled from grocery store shelves due to questionable levels of alcohol content. This angers me.
I am somewhat of a Kombucha junkie and I am convinced that I will never be able to shake that "tired" feeling in the morning without it. I hope that it comes back very soon lest I be forced to start brewing my own. However, if I start brewing it myself, there will be no one around to keep me in check and I may end up creating some of the most dangerously potent brews in all of Kombucha creation. If superheroes (or villains) can be made in this fashion, I will be sure to find out.

Went to Disney World this month for the first time EVER. (We only went on "educational" vacations when we were kids.) It was hot and there was a lot of walking involved. Other than that, it was fun. Disney is clean and the workers are friendly and I enjoyed many of the restaurants.....oh, but did I mention there was a lot of walking??? hahaha...no seriously....you walk a lot. It is like being on the set of Lord of the Rings. Not fun.

Obligatory vacation shot:


Oh!! But I did get stuck on a ride!
Apparently some idiots thought they saw lightning and felt unsafe continuing to ride Splash Mountain. So of course, they did the safe thing and jumped out while the ride was still moving. (Note my sarcasm there?)
Well, Disney protocol for a situation like that is to stop the ride and evacuate EVERYONE currently en route throughout the ride. We sat there staring at the same silent animatronic figures for about 45 minutes before anyone came to get us. They then had to help everyone off the boats and walk them out through secret passageways.

Here are some people being evacuated:


And here I am next to some of the animatronics on the ledge:


I have to admit, it was kind of cool being able to get out of the boat and walk along the edge like that. I can check it off my list of "random things to do".

My newest set is still sitting pretty in Member Review:
Squeak - I Am

Sorry for the shameless promotion. But I am sitting on a new set that Bob shot for me and well, it is friggin awesome and Bob needs to have a certain number of accepted sets before she can be considered for Staff Photographer. I heard sets can sit in there for like 6 months or more. Soooo...if that happens...are you allowed to have two sets at a time in MR??? (It has been about 2 years since I had a set in MR and so I don't know how much has changed.)

Over the past few months I have been repeatedly questioned as to whether or not I have a Facebook account. This Facebook phenomena seems to be of great importance to so many people. I can't understand why.
The answer is NO. I do not do Facebook....I will never do Facebook. In fact, I believe I owe a great deal of my personal success to not having a Facebook. Why?...

The hours that many spend chatting, posting, and errrr....poking on Facebook, I spend working my butt off. While they cover people's walls with terrible grammar, net slang, and poorly constructed acronyms....I am prepping site updates, writing articles, scheduling modeling gigs, doing volunteer work, and learning new skills and hobbies.

But! My site does have a Facebook: SqueakMachine.com FB
I don't run it though...my second assistant and two of my friends keep an eye on it and post updates and pics.
The only online profiles that I run all by myself (sans assistants!) is my SG account and my Twitter. Anyways...SG is where it's at and has so far out-lasted Live Journal, Myspace, and yes, I'm sure even Facebook in the coming years.

Okay...I actually have a bunch of errands to run now and then I have to meet up with my Dad for Father's Day!
Hmmmm....I may also get some tacos. I've been hungry for tacos for like 4 days now. Luckily there is a California Tortilla right down the street.....errrr....okay, enough writing about what I'm going to do, time to actually do it. Time for tacos!!
