And I got to ride Rise of the Resistance,

ooh, what was that like, Dana? Was it fun?

That's a lot of Disneyland Dana!!

I do not understand why lifting weights at my coach's place and lifting weights at the gym are so so different. Like, I lifted more weight on Monday at her place and felt fine, but today lifted less at the gym and felt like my muscles were going to seize up and revolt on me! Why?

Also I am not ready to be gone all weekend and then go on a work trip for two days. I haven't packed. I mean, I'm driving tomorrow but I don't want to wait too long and get stuck in rush hour traffic.

ooh, what was that like, Dana? Was it fun?

I got into the park at 8:10, later than I wanted to. They only guarantee getting to group 79, but through they day they were going at a decent pace. Then it broke down at group 140. It was maybe an hour before they got it going again? I finally got called at 8:30, and then I stood in line for another 30 minutes, at least.

It was totally worth all of that. Anyone who's planning to try and ride it at some point, my advice is to avoid spoilers if you can. I did no research and was literally running away from people talking about the ride with their friends. So I'm going to put possibly the most spoilery thing in spoiler font.

They had FUCKING LIFE-SIZED AT-ATs. The door opened, and I literally said "OH MY GOD."

ok wow.

Debate comment: I was already all in for Warren, but after tonight, I would bleed for her. Performance ranking:

1. Warren

2. Sanders

3. Biden (but debates are not his strength & always make me feel bad for him)

4. Buttigieg

5. Klobuchar

6. NOPE

And I got to ride Rise of the Resistance, even though I was in group 157.

Probably not a political ride. What is it?

I do love Warren. If it comes down to Sanders v. Bloomberg I have a very, very obvious preference, but I will be annoyed.

I have a horror nightmare of Sanders getting a plurality but not a majority and the delegates giving it to Bloomberg because mayor Pete tells them to. Would the democratic party really do that, setting themselves up for a "you let a billionaire buy your election" narrative? I'm afraid they totally would.

Disneyland sounds like more fun than politics for sure. Been a while since I have been to my coast's version.

Debate: I stayed up well past my bedtime! It was a good debate. Once again they seem to ignore foreign or military issues. Focusing so much attention on differences in health care plans seems counter productive to me since all of them will have to compromise to get anything passed. Amy and Liz came fully ready for battle. I thought they both did very well. Bernie didn't annoy me as much as usual, but that is probably just me getting used to being yelled at. Joe did better than some previous debates, but just isn't that good in that format. Pete had his weakest night out, IMO. Mike, well, he was well prepped, but clearly got bruised. I don't think all the billionaire stuff hurts, because most voters feel it is okay to work hard and become rich and his history of philanthropy puts him in a different category than Trump. The NDA topic on the other hand will sting, and should. We'll see what Nevada thinks of it, although many of them already voted. My state is after Super Tuesday so I am still officially undecided.

Of course since I stayed up so late now I am struggling to keep awake at my desk. Need coffee now.

Dana, your whitefont made me gasp. That's so cool!

I don't think all the billionaire stuff hurts, because most voters feel it is okay to work hard and become rich and his history of philanthropy puts him in a different category than Trump.

It made me crazy when Bloomberg said he made all that money because he worked hard. You know who works hard? Hotel cleaning staff! Garbage truck drivers! Etc.

I would rather be at Disneyland.
