Evil box: scary movies, insects, calories, and LIFE
My Summer of Love is an effin AMAZING movie. Well, I guess it
depends on what you like. If you’re not into the whole artistic,
thought-provoking, beautiful in its own way, independent film kinda
thing, this movie isn’t for you. But since I AM into that kinda
stuff, I loved it. It was really amazing, I highly recommend
it. It is an independent, small-scale, British film, so it’s not
playing in major theaters. But it is definitely worth the small
drive to a lesser theater to see this film. It was truly
phenomenal.
Yesterday was Day 4 of true summer. Days 1,2, and 3 came from my Big Bear trip for the 4th of July weekend. Day 4 was spent in the company of the fantabulous Andrea Saulmon. It was kinda a last-minute thing, but it was so fantastically wonderful. We talked for like half an hour, then got the cutest little mini water bottles. We then walked down to Starbucks for Frappuccinos (and a toffee brownie thing), and Albertsons for CHEESECAKE! We got these amazing chocolate chip cookie samples, and gum. We had spaghetti and meatballs and bread for dinner, then went up and talked in her awesome room. Andrea is just so cool that she got me an extra playbill from Wicked. I LOVE HER! She told me as much as she could without ruining anything, and we talked some more. We watched some of Emperor’s New Groove, then went downstairs to cut our cheesecake. Let me just say, that was an amazing experience. Yes, cutting cheesecake is an amazing experience. Hehe. We had a makeshift birthday cake with our toffee brownie (fabulous pictures to come, once Andrea uploads the pics from her digital). Good times, good times... We then watched like 3/4 of Pretty in Pink, then my parentals came to pick me up. But we’re getting together Friday, so it’s all cool. And I’m GOING to see Wicked! I don’t care if I have to mug someone with tickets, I’m GOING! WE ARE SO COOL, ANDREA! I HEART YOU!
I finished my scuba training today. It was probably the best day because we got just over 4 ½ hours in the pool. We did have to wake up at 6, which wasn’t so fun, but I successfully set up all my scuba gear (which is surprisingly difficult, for those of you rolling your eyes). The first couple of hours were spent doing skills, but then the last part was really fun. We got to do a lot of skin diving, different kinds of boat entries, and at the end we fooled around on the bottom until our air ran out.
Notes:
- my birthday: 3 DAYS! (Coach Blondi’s birthday is the same as mine)
- Andrea and I hang again: 5 days!
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: 5 days!!! (Just in case I haven’t said this half a million times, I’ll be at the midnight extravaganza at Barnes and Noble!)
- End of summer school: 18 days
- Vacation at Club Med in Dominican Republic: 18 days!
Love,
Michelle/cheesecake cutting queen/scuba master/almost birthday girl!
WICKED!
HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE!
That's an actual picture of the Punta Cana Club Med in the Dominican Republic, aka, that's where I'll be for my vacation!
Okay, so maybe that's not me, but that's what I look like when I'm scuba diving!
FANTABULOUS MOVIE!
