Pirates is the it thing right now. I'm not surprised. I hardly ever go over there anyway. I didn't get the reference to Super Mario. Are they going to install video game consoles? Will it be Innoventions West?

This would just suck.

Yesterday, on KROQ morning radio's Kevin & Bean Show they started off the Ralph's Showbiz Report with "Sad news for diehard Disneyland fans". He told about the planned changes to TSA and then went on to quote an article from a popular Disney fan website.

I don't blame them for following the money. I'll be sad to see TSI go, but I understand why. I'm most disappointed in the underlying condition: people (in general) don't read American classics any more. Parents have griped and complained about musty ol' tomes they consider inappropriate and gosh, we have to always give kids flash and whizz-bang every single time or we'll crush their precious widdle spiwits and we've lost our history. Heck, some kids don't even know how to play in an area like the current TSI. They're so used to interactive displays and touch screens that caves are just dirty and maybe a little smelly. And I can see this is turning into a "kids these days" on my part, so I'm going to go somewhere else and feel old.

The last time we were there it was closed, but I will miss it if it goes. I always liked it when I was a teenager even if it wasn't as high tech as Pong.

I don't think it's "Kids these days," so much as "Parents these days." So far, our house is GameBoy, X-Box, and Pokemon card free. It's not hard. If they ever come in, they'll be tightly controlled.

I admit to certain prejudices. When my young nephews come over, it's like pulling teeth to get a word out of them. Usually they're buried in their GameBoys. I don't know that it would be meaningfully different if they kept their nose in a book or spent the entire visit playing chess, but somehow I feel that it would.

Hello, Kitty! gives me seizures.

(Salon Kitty is another matter.)
