OMG, ya'all! I saw UP! And it made me cry!
So what if that makes me a sap? Do I care? No, I say! For the pride of saps everywhere, no!
Two major, major thumbs up for UP. While all Pixar movies are cute, they've always been a bit hit-and-miss for me. Some of them are wonderful and adorable, and some of them are ...meh. UP is definitely on the wonderful and adorable side of things. Also?
I SAW THE MOVIE POSTER FOR PONYO!
(For any of the sadly uninformed who do not hang, cling, and slobber on every sliver of news about what the Master does, and therefore has no idea what I'm talking about, go here: www.imdb.com/title/tt0876563/ and/or here: www.youtube.com/watch )
So, yeah. My sisters told everyone I was an escaped mental patient as I stood squealing over the poster in the middle of the movie theater. XD
So I went home this past weekend and had an absolute blast hanging out with my family. My sisters totally gobbled up my butter-icing chocolate cupcakes, but my mom got the last laugh by eating the last one when they weren't looking. ^^ Youngest brother taught me the card game Slaps--which, may I just say, can get extremely violent in our house of half-hispanics. I brought the rules back with me and taught my BFF Sylvia how to play. She's Cuban, so... Fun stuff. ^_^
Ah! And I finally bought Book Fire of ATLA. And then promptly allowed my sisters and my brother to puppy-face me into leaving it with them for a few weeks. *facepalm* I want my Avatar! *sniffcry*
I even had a really long, serious conversation with previously mentioned BFF about some things. That was a really interesting, revealing conversation. I'm stunned, and quite oddly kicked in the pants about school, so now I'm trying to figure out if I really can graduate this fall or not. Classes are the actual big problem. There aren't that many being offered. But, well, we'll try.
And, on a totally random note (and really, what fun would life be without random notes?), I had a really curious idea yesterday: how difficult would it be if I could only use one foot at a time? So I tried it. For about twenty minutes.
Two things:
1. Hopping with hot tea is very ill advised.
2. Surprisingly good workout. My butt and thigh muscles are killing me. *wobblewince*
So overall and in summary, I've been having a great couple of days. *sips tea*
Everyone must go see Ponyo!
