Duuuuuuude, this is late coming, but The Dark Knight is so frickin awesome! We got to the midnight showing about 2 hours til and we were still waiting in line across the street from Target, it was nuts. Not as many people dressed up as I thought, I wished for a cape. You can never go wrong with a cape. There's just so many occassions for such an article! I saw it again a few days later, still just as great. If I wasn't so broke right now I'd see it AGAIN! Any who, a week or so later was Marc's birthday which meant Scandia, this mini golf/carnival ride/go kart/bumper boats with water guns/arcade place. As my description entails, it was pretty coooool. The spaceship that turns round and round until you're glued to the wall played a bunch of smash mouth videos, it was random. Jon and Marc claimed they were brainwashed into loving smash mouth. On the second course there was a bunch of people behind us, so we started winning a lot easier and quicker, if you catch my drift. We got lost in that town's mall after lunch then went on all the rides again in the dark. I almost died on Thor's Hammer, which basically spun you around in both directions upside-down. I haaaaated it, like a lot. Universal Studios a few days after THAT was pretty cool too. Me and Tommy didn't get there til around 1, but we still went on all of their rides at least twice. That place is in desperate need of a rollercoaster or two more. The Simpsons ride is just like Back to the Future was (a motion simulator), but cooler graphics.....and you get wet a couple of times.....and you get a puff of baby powder smell in your face at one point. The Mummy and Jurassic Park freaked me out both times we went one them. The ride broke down at the end with the giant t-rex the second time we went on it, it was freaky. It like popped out and roared then went back into it's little hole and we were still sitting at the top on the huge drop. And on the Mummy I totally forgot about the scarabs that try to eat you from the feet up and the dead soldier dudes that jump down and attempt to behead you. I'm such a fraidy cat when it comes to anything jumping out at you, no matter how obvious it is. Last night ends this month of spendatures with the midnight train to murder mystery. It's basically this little train ride that goes from fillmore to santa paula and back while you eat and watch some actors in the who-done-it play down the aisles. It was kinda cheesy and the food wasn't that amazing (considering the price) but it was fun. At least now I can say I've been on a train now. At the end of their act everyone writes down who they think was the murderer. I was the only person in our car that got it right, I won a wooden train whistle! Woowoooo! That's what is sounds like, but with a slightly higher pitch. And that, my friends, is why I have zero dollars until I get paid on Tuesday! Yay!
