Up Up and away

So today I went to see the new Disney Pixar movie UP, as movies go it was pretty good the 3D made my eyes hurt, but what I found interesting about the movie was in the beginning there's a montage of the main character's (Carl) life with his wife Ellie and at one point their sittining on this hill when they deciced they want a baby, they get the nursery all set up but in the next scene of the montage their in a doctors office and the doctor is telling them that that they can't have a baby and Ellie is crying but everything gets a little better until the end of the montage when Ellie dies and Carl is left by himself and now I have to stop writing otherwise I'll spoil the whole movie but it points to an interesting and increasing trend in disney movies, the use of real life situations instead of "look how happy and perfect and shiny we all are" movies, a couple of good examples of this trend are shown in movies such as finding nemo where the marlins wife and and most of his children (still in eggs at the time) get eaten by a baracuda and he has problems letting is son only grow up and live his life, or in Lilo and Stitch where the parents are dead and it's just Lilo and her older sister Lani whose trying to juggle a full time job as well as raising her little sister and then has an alien thrown into the mix and stitch's line at the end "this is my family it's little, and broken but still good, yeah still good", these are good examples of the less happy shiny version of disney that is starting to emerge and all I can say is I like this disney better. that's all for now more later

Early Morning adventures I take with my mother

It was two in the morning on a saturday and I couldn't sleep and I had D&D at 2:00 that afternoon so I had to get some sleep or I was gonna be in trouble. Then just as I had given up hope of ever getting any sleep, I heard my mother get up and walk downstairs, as she walked down the stairs she told me to go to sleep ( my bed is a loft that was built over our stairwell by my stepdad) I told her that I couldn't sleep and she said that if when she got back upstairs if I was still awake we could try to figure something out, when she came upstairs I was still awake so she said we could go downstairs and sit on the couch, as we walked down the stairs my mom said "I wish there was some ice cream in the house...I wonder if fred's is still open" I said it might be but that we could go somewhere else to get ice cream though I couldn't think of any place except for McDonalds then my pointed out that dennys was still open so we got on real clothes ( we were both still in our pjs) and headed to dennys at two in the morning. when we got there we figured that it be smart to order actual food instead of just ice cream so we both ordered breakfast( i got the french toast platter my mom got biscuts and eggs we both had coffee even though we were plannig on trying to get some sleep when we got home) we talked for awhile until our food got there then after we'd eaten a little we continued talking, not really about anything in particular but it was nice to able to spend time with my mom without my little sister around. anyways, we had our desert and left by then it was four in the morning when we got my mom sat on the couch to work alittle and I went upstairs and flopped onto my bed completly dressed and passed out, I woke up at about 10:00 having rested enough that I was able to make it through an entire D&D session (if you wat read about the session i'm sure there's a post about by now on Kvaps artist blog)and that was my saturday more later.

a fairly uneventful day

so today I woke up at 11 something in the morning after dreams about computers with key boards made up of only the keys you never use. after i woke up there was some basic house cleaning, my uncle dan and aunt maggie got into town and my uncle dan started helping my step dad with the edition while my aunt maggie helped my mom organize her art stuff. then after i had holed myself up in my room with my computer. my friend andrew, who hadn't been informed that there would be no D&D this saturday, showed up and ended up staying until seven so we worked on his nightlife character, were gangpressed into washing dishes, and ran around outside in the rain like we were 5 years old. after he left my grand parents and my aunt sunnie came over for dinner after which my grandpa helped my uncle and stepdad finish wiring the edition. after dinner my evening was spent on the internet and that's pretty much it for today more later

biking day 2

so today(meaning the 20th for some reason it's taken me three days to write this) I woke up at about eight fifteen so I could go to an orthadontics appointment at 9, I got there and sat for what felt like years but in reality was about an hour and a half maybe less i'm not really sure, then I got to listen to a whole lot of orthodontics jargon that did't mean anything to me, finally I got home I then called Ivan and we met at Gullivers(we both biked) then after a couple hours at Gullivers and then hot licks ice cream Ivan had to head to football camp so we said goodbye and he left for west valley where they were holding the camp I ended up hanging around the general area for about an hour and then in an attempt to find a flatter way home (please remember I was on a bike and for me going uphill hill sucks(sorry mom)) so I started heading down the same road I would take to get to school when as I'm passing mikes Chevron I hear something clatter to the pavment thinking something might have fallen out of my pocket I stoped and discovered that one of the washers that holds on the front wheel had fallen off and since it couldn't have fallen off if the nut had been in place which unlike the washer I couldn't find, so wary to ride my bike with a half attached wheel I walked it to the nearest buildinng which turned out to be a radioshack and called the person who I knew would be able to get to me the fastest, which was my boyfriends mom because my boyfriends house is less than a mile from where I was, so Racheal came and picked me up and we wrestled my bike into the trunk/back of her car (i say this becuase she had to put down the seats in the back so we could fit my bike) then we went back to her house where we rumaged through Phil's(Phil is my boyfriend's dad as well as a techno wizard and Mr. fix-it) toolshed(more like garage but you get the idea) anyways Racheal and I had only a vague idea of what we were looking for so after tryig every nut we could find, all of which were to big or to small, we just called phil who once he got back took off the other washer and nut and told us to go down to the bike shop and pick up the piece we needed so after walkig down to the bike shop with Racheal and getting the new piece Phil fixed up my bike after which Racheal took me home where she eneded up talking with my mother for a couple hours after which they left toghether to go get coffee they then ended up at racheals house where they ended up talking until three in the morning (much to my younger sisters dismay as she was only able to keep herself awake until two waiting up for my mother) and that was my wednesday more later

last day of school blues?

okay so today was the last day of school which means we had 25 minute classes then a big BBQ for the whole school but instead of the expected "HOORAY FREEDOM" reaction, I just felt sorta down and tired I couldn't even eat my hot dog, Ivan was surprised that I wasn't hungry, but stopped being so concerned after I told him he could eat the hot dog, go figure. After that we didn't really see each other, I ended going on the homemade slip n' slide and getting completely soaked while he ended up wathching national treasure 2, then once the end of school function(I guess it was a party but somehow those two words just don't work in the same sentence)was over he met me over at the slip n' slide walked me to my locker and then to my bus neither of us being entirely certrtain how soon we would be able to spend time with each other, but of course this didn't change anything ( Ivan has a reputation to uphold even when it's the last day of school and the first day of football camp or whatever) so we simply said "see you round" no hugs or anything like that but that's how Ivan is ,very anti PDA, so it's not like it was any kind surprise (no offense Ivan), anyways I got home and since my sister was having her B-day party at Zip-Zaps laser tag I had the house all to myself (if he hadn't had football camp or whatever it is I probably would have ended up at Ivan's house) that was however kind of boring so after a qiuck call (ok a couple of calls)to my parents I took bike and road the 6 (well if you want get technical it was 5.9,David) miles to barnes and noble stopping along the way at sports authority to pick up a new bike chain. i then spent about 3 hours at barnes and noble in the comic section then mom and david came to pick me up which means we spent another 20 minutes at b&n I got a new book and we all left when we got home I didn't stick around very long and went for a walk in the woods near my house I had left at about nine ten and got back at about three minutes after ten and so today I avoided a good chunk of basic interaction with other people and failed to figure out why I was in such a weird mood if I had asked my mom she would have said it was just me missing Ivan which maybe true but I'm not sure it's the whole reason. who knows maybe I'll figure it out tommorow. that's all more later

Find A new Quirk Kirk

so it's been Four days since my last entry and in that space of time my old D&D character Gwendolyn( a.k.a Gwendy see Kvap's artist blog for more details) has returned from the dead via what appears to be divine intervention, meaning that she woke up in the room her embalmed body had been left in (Jonce!) after having reverse seizured back to life and the first thing she See's is an orc cleric of kord (her patron god) who says something in orc ( well technically it's in giant but either way she doesn't speak it so she she doesn't understand) hands her a torch and leaves her to find her own way out of the labyrinth (ahh! David Bowie) she succeeds in getting back to the seven pillared hall and she is pissed and ready to kill Jonce when she learns that not only are two of her friends dead but their mission is still unfulfilled, so killing Jonce has been put on the back burner until all 23 haflings are recovered ( for more info see Kvap's artist blog) and so she set out with two new additions to the party a happy go lucky bard who could bluff his way out of a black hole and a rouge so sneaky she could steal the pants off a ninja, they succeeded in getting back 21 of the halflings 2 had already been sold which means we have to go back into the labryinth (ahhhhrrrgg!!!) but that will smply have to wait until next saturday. on a different note I just went and saw the star trek movie and I am of two opinions one is my fan girl opinion or as it would be more commonly known "ohmigod ohmigod Spock is so hot and so is kirk ohmigod Spock is played by sylar ohmigod ohmigod" you get the idea and my nerdy trekkie opinion "great storline....like the way that was done.......ooohhh EXPLOSIONS!!!!" well you get the idea simply put it was a good movie and thus requires at least in my mind a sequel my only request for it if there has to be a cameo let it be Leonard Nimoy and not Wil....lia...m Sha...t..ner because you know what his dramatic pauses were annoying then there anoying now and besides Spock is way cooler than Kirk in the old series anyways. Cause I mean really if Kirk wasn't saying
" we come in peace, shoot to kill shoot to kill" he was with some alien chick it gets old people find a new quirk Kirk, at least they didn't overdo That particular aspect of Kirk in the new movie that and along with no "dramatic pauses" never once did i hear him utter the words " we come in peace, shoot to kill shoot to kill" so it was a good movie all in all thats all for now more later

a rose by any other name would still have thorns

it's 2:44 in the morning and i'm sitting next to rachael writing this new entry after her and my mom came across a palette on some website called roses and of course they both went off on the classic "a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet" my reply was "a rose by any other name would still have thorns". they both made fun of me but i thought it would be a great entry for my blog probably becuase it's 2 in the morning. anyways it struck me as funny more later maybe
