We just got an email advertising the "live action" Lilo & Stitch movie that I guess is coming out in May. I think I've talked about some of the "live action" remakes here, like Emma and the Beast and The Little Manuel Miranda. Athena says, "I guess we could call it 'The Little Manuel Mermanda.'" But what we can't really call any of them is "live ( Read more... )

Athena and I are both still constantly fighting not to fall asleep, but we can't tell if that's from jet lag, or just our regular state of affairs. We have been expending a lot of energy. But anyway, it's time to continue the record of our trip!

Life can be so funny sometimes. A few days ago, Athena started getting phonecalls from a caller marked as "potential spam." She always hangs up on those immediately, but this one a little persistent...so it started calling me instead. I always answer those calls, because I'm a sap, I guess. Usually they turn out to be surveys, and when I ( Read more... )

Whew, it was like a million degrees outside today. And of course, by a million, I mean ninety-five. I know that's nothing for people in places like Fresno and Arizona, but for us it's pretty hot. We don't have central air-conditioning, either, it's rough. I think that's probably why I've been so prone to exhaustion and headaches--just like in ( Read more... )

We kept ourselves up late playing video games again. There was just this track on Melody of Memory that Athena was having a tough time getting the missions on, and it felt so close every time, but we ended up doing it like fifty times or something ( Read more... )

I remembered I did have something to talk about yesterday. Dad called, and he asked if we'd seen the Mulan remake. We said no, we don't watch any of the remakes (except for Emma and the Beast, but we were on a plane) and he didn't say anything else about it. We've had other people mention remakes like they wanted to talk about them, and we would ( Read more... )

Today we took advantage of our Disney+YourSoul account to watch some Silly Symphony cartoons. It's a little bit frustrating that we can't just type "Silly Symphonies" in the search bar and get all of them, and even more frustrating that when you find one, in the "similar videos" list, it only gives us eight more, usually with a Mickey cartoon ( Read more... )

We didn't have choir practice today, and it was Fast Sunday, so we didn't take time out to eat, so we ended up having way more time than we knew what to do with. That's not entirely true. We know what we're going to do with it: we're going to go to bed early! Tadah! Because we could use all the sleep we can get ( Read more... )

So when we went to Disneyland yesterday, there was a bit of an interesting experience in the security line. I saw a woman ahead of us wearing a dress made of fabric that had pictures of various Disney canine characters. I don't know if it had all of them, but it had a whole bunch, including some of the more obscure ones like Little Brother from ( Read more... )

The time has come! (I always go on in my head to, "The Walrus said," but that really just...it's only sort of appropriate here.) The time has come to finally get on with our Japan trip report! It was now Saturday and bad timing was such that we did not have plans to go on a road trip with Kyoya and friends, so we had to come up with our own plan ( Read more... )
