Disney Reviews: Show Edition #3 - Off Kilter

Rarely ever does Disney disappoint me. Today, I was disappointed. News came out that Off-Kilter (as well as Mo'Rockin' and several other long term Epcot street acts) are going buh-bye. So, I'm interrupting my pre-scheduled posts to do an Off-Kilter dedication post (and just typing those words pisses me off and makes me want to cry in sadness at the same time). If the band made the decision to quit performing at Epcot then I have to respect it, but if some tight-fisted Disney exec made the decision, you sir or madam, SUCK and we HATE you! The web is going CRAZY today with the news, so I'm not the only nutcase upset. There WILL be a complaint card filled out when we get there, but as a passholder, a stockholder, a D23 member and a Disney Visa member, my opinion does matter and I'm NOT happy (and I may write them a letter as well). To make matters worse, their last day is my friggin Birthday!!! What a crappy present! But, for today at least, I'll just rant it out here and try my damnedest to give them a good send off!!

Off-Kilter, located just on the outskirts of the Canada Pavilion in Epcot's World Showcase, is basically a Celtic rock band with a decidedly Scottish flair. They have been there for so long, they even have their own stage!

the old stage:

Luckily, I have most all of their CD's, so it's not like I'll be doing without completely, but it still sucks. How about a video? I haven't done this yet with these reviews because I didn't want to clog things up with them, but this is a special occasion:

Off-Kilter, you will be sorely missed! Disney, you got some 'splainin to do!!

Happy 13th Blogoversary to the worst blogger ever!

Yep, I'm still here. This is the first time I've touched any blog in months. My focus has been in the "me" world. I have a new therapist and it's still early days, but I'm doing much better both mentally and physically. Work always sucks, so that's already a dead horse. And both pups are still hangin in there. My last post was probably the last time I stitched or at least my last Instragram post was. Maleficent still isn't framed, she's still in her ziploc baggie on the kitchen table. Bad me all around. I'm getting worse at this whole social media thing, what little I do. My job is tech burnout, so by the time I get home, the only tech I touch is my TV. The thought of creating a blog post or human communication in any way is just too much. I do have two vacations coming up, so that's exciting, right? I haven't felt like sharing, so very few people around me know about these. The first is a birthday trip to Boulder, j...

PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BRANDON A much better hero than Edward Ferrars in my opinion PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-BOOKS Obviously the age limit on books means very little to me: Do magazines count as books? Well, they are on the book row and they are Disney related, so there you go! There are several more shelves of these and they get more movement than anything else because their weight tends to kill bookshelves rather quickly. It helps to shuffle them around upon occasion to give the poor shelves a breather.

A to Z Reflections Post

I'm going to try not to be as wordy as previous years (but no promises). I did two challenges this year, my Jane Austen Alphabet Cross Stitch project, which is now complete: I haven't gotten it framed yet...heck, I still haven't gotten last year's framed either, so there is no telling when it will get done. Thanks to my friend Tiff for her suggestion of the blue fabric over the brown...she made the right choice I think! There is really nothing more to add on my second challenge, My Disney Collection, other than I have realized that my OCD apparently isn't strong enough to focus me in one particular direction. I like to think I have a Duck Room and a Princess/Villains room, but it's more like a Duck/Stitch/Parks room, a Mickey Bathroom, a Disney-themed kitchen, a living room filled with various objects, and a Princess and Villains bedroom. I don't think as a whole, they look so bad, it just looked a bit hoarderish when I divided them up into categori...
