One of the advantages of taking residence in southern California, aside from the weather, is being in close proximity to any number of cultural hotspots. The new location I have added to my list is a place called Disneyland.
The subject came up when April told me fond stories of her childhood, and she expressed how growing up in the region she always cherished the times her family would go to this amusement park in Anaheim. When I admitted that I had yet to go to Disneyland, she was so shocked, she forced me to plan a day trip down there. An interesting place, considering it is a replication of various cultural eras and touchstones of this world. The most intriguing to me was the land of tomorrow, as it was not at all what my perception of human space travel and future science has come to be. Much of it was quite ludicrous, like the rotating building that showed off much useless or outdated technology, at least as far as I could tell. The most surprising to me was a 3-D musical film about a man called Captain EO.
You may recognize this as a character famously portrayed by the late pop star Michael Jackson, who I am not particularly familiar with, but I feel that I must. I know I have come across this Captain EO in the past. He and his crew are all to familiar. I served with a captain in the mercenary legion that had such a reputation and crew of misfits as well as a very peculiar, very powerful weapon against adversaries made up of music and sound. It was a secret weapon used successfully in our defense of the colony on Sirius Major. What I wonder is how anyone on this planet could know about that, and who this Michael Jackson really was?
