Epic Battle of Epicness: Round 1: Bayside: Liz Lemon v Captain Planet

Name: Liz Lemon A.K.A.: - Hometown: New York City Known For: Writing "The Girlie Show" Strength: Putting up with child-like adults Weakness: Food Wins: -

VS

Name: Captain Planet A.K.A.: - Hometown: Earth Known For: Being combined from "Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Heart" Strength: Saving the planet from pollution Weakness: Pollution Wins: -

When "your powers combine" he is Captain Planet. He helps protect the world from polluters and with his super strength is a formidable foe. But when you are as lazy as Liz Lemon, but have a heart of gold Captain Planet won't find it easy to fight against you. Sure, he might make her feel guilty for not taking better care of her body, and he would totally give her a talking to about being more active in stopping global warming, but considering the group of people she works with Liz Lemon knows how to ignore people talking to her (or she'd just learn more about that from Jenna).  This round goes to Liz Lemon being more epic!
Conclusion: Liz Lemon v Captain Planet

Trip Report: Las Vegas v. WDW

I deplaned and waited anxiously for my bus to pull away. If feels like I’ve been traveling for days but it was probably just the build up of coming here. Seeing my old friends, making new ones. As the bus winds its way to my hotel I see wonderful theming. Each hotel a world away from each other though being within a few miles of the next. The scaled down objects found across the world invite me in to shop and dine and enjoy all the entertainment attractions offered at each of these well themed areas.

            I finally arrive at my hotel, exhausted and ready to call it a night, so I can be up early to enjoy a grand buffet with my friends.

            I am not talking about Walt Disney World or Disneyland, but rather Las Vegas. I recently had a great trip there and couldn’t help notice the remarkably similar aspects between WDW and Vegas.

            I stayed at The Palms Casino Resort off of “The Strip.” This is a gorgeous hotel with all the amenities that one expects from a casino resort in Vegas, just a little further from other resorts.

            Although The Plams was not overly themed, they had so much going on at the resort, I never had to leave! Several sit down dinning restaurants, many quick service dinning options, two pools, MANY bars, a couple dance clubs, a movie theatre, and the casino floor itself. I only left the Palms three times. Once to look for a drug store, once to get Starbucks coffee, and once for the rehearsal dinner. Remind you of Eiser’s call to keep people on property by offering more and more things for them to do, and then providing bus services to even dissuade guests from renting cars.

            The strip itself had a lot of well themed hotels and areas with shows and attractions and shopping to appease the masses. Despite being hundreds of miles from WDW, I felt like I was home.

Epic Battle of Epicness: Round 1: Hogwarts: James Bond v. C-3PO

Name: James Bond A.K.A.: 007 Hometown: London Known For: Kick ass spying Strength: Weapons Weakness: Checkered past that keeps catching up with him. Wins: -

VS

Name: C-3PO A.K.A.: '3PO Hometown: Tatooine Known For: Being part of the team that took down the Empire Strength: Speaking thousands of languages Weakness: Can't bend arms Wins: -

Built by Darth Vader himself, C-3PO has a long history of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But without his counterpart R2D2 pushing him does C-3PO have what it takes to take out the world's best spy? James Bond has all the high tech toys that can keep him in a long battle with C-3PO as '3PO cowers in fear. With C-3PO being captured by Jawas in his first appearance, and Bond being much stronger and smarter than Jawas, Bond wins!

Conclusion: James Bond v C-3PO

D23 Costume

This year I'm starting my Halloween/Comic Con costume early so I can take it to D23, the Disney convention.

This year I'm going to be cosplaying as Mary Poppins:

So my friend Cee Cee is making a lot of the costume for me. Cee Cee is a professional costumer and is making the carpet bag and skirt; and is altering the coat, shirt and gloves for me. Plus she's doing something to make that hat look better. 

So that leaves the scarf, umbrella, shoes, and wig.

Well to do this I had to learn to crochet: 

My first row.

So I lost a stitch in the middle of the dark pink row. 

Laying flat. Can't notice the missing stitch anymore.

Selfie.

With a more Poppins nod.

This came in yesterday.

Scarf and umbrella.

The shoes also came in, but I had to return them, they were too small. :(

Epic Battle of Epicness: The Beginning

So way back in high school, my friends and I put together a list of our favorite fictional characters and then had them battle it out until there was just one winner.

Looks like I'm playing this game again. In this blog series I will look at 64 fictional characters as they battle, March Madness style to see who is the most Epic of all the Epics. Some battles might end in the death of the other character, some might not. Who knows. We'll just have to see.

Below you will find an empty bracket:
