... to the park.

Fall is by far the prettiest season and is my absolute favorite. My mom and my sister and I went for a walk at the local Game Farm Park in Auburn to admire the beauty of the season. My sister and I had a blast playing in all the leaves. They had big ole piles of leaves everywhere! We couldn't help jumping around in them. We buried each other and played dead hoping to scare some walkers, but no one walked by. Here is our dead look, Kathryn looks more dead than me. Kind of looks like the Dead Marshes, but not... Here we are rising from the dead. And then we had to relive childhood memories and roll down the hill in the leaves. I have a video of that, but I have no idea how to get it off my mom's phone and onto my blog. I'll work on that. The leaves on the farm are just as pretty too. I took my cute little dog Fred out for a walk and wanted to capture a little of the foothills for ya. And yes, I am weaing boots. Hope your fall is as pretty as mine!

...to The Importance of Being Ernest.

Last friday night was a girls night out. The party consisted of eight girls: me, my two sisters Alison and Kathryn, friends; Alejandra, Nicole and her sister Janea, Kathleen, and Amy. We all went to see the play The Importance of Being Ernest. It was amazing! It was playing at the Taproot Theatre in Seattle, it's a small cute little theatre I have been to at least once before before. We had a blast on the way up and navigating through the U-district. (We picked up Kathleen and Amy at the U-village since they are both going to school at UW.) Afterwards, six of us went to one of the best bubble tea shops in the world, WOW Bubble Tea. MMMMM. It just makes me so happy thinking about it. I will have to write a whole blog dedicated to bubble tea. It really topped off the evening, although it was almost morning by then! If you have a chance you should see the play, if not rent the movie which is just as good!

Addition to Random Thing #1

So I have gotten a little feed back on stupid movies, mostly some more to add to the growing list. These are mostly from my sisters and I have not seen all of these.
Space Odyssey 2000. What in the world. This is one of the strangest movies I have ever seen. I don't even know where to begin. This guy even looks scared. Apparently there are sequels, which I'm sure should be on the list.
Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars. Never seen it but it just sounds bad. The original brave little toaster is a classic. This one however...
Any comic book series made into a movie is automatically stupid. I had the unfortunate event of having to see the Fantastic Four, Rise of the Silver Surfer, this summer. This would be another one that left my mouth open the enitre time. I could not find the picture I wanted from the movie but this gives you an idea of how freaky it is.
The Santa Claus and basically any other cheesy holiday movie. I really despise these. The classics are exempt of course from my hatred, but just about anything from 1960 to the present- stupid.
The Grinch. This should be number one (although there are several that should be #1.) I really do not like Jim Carrey. I also do not like Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. I have no desire to see movies they are in. Of course there are a few exceptions to some of the movies they are in, but overall... Stay Away!
Master of Disguise, never seen this either but from what my sister's tell me, I don't want to see it. ???????????????????????????????
Planet of the Apes, new and old versions. I can't believe anyone would come up with something like this. But they did... and now they are on my stupid movie list.
Anything with Mr. Bean is automatically on the stupid movie list. He is way too far out there. As you can tell there are even stuffed dolls you an get to look like him. This would be a good White Elephant gift.
Land Before Time 2 through infinity. Why did they have to keep making them? What possessed them, the world will never know.
Jessica Willey brought up a movie that I think deserves it's own category along with a few others. Raising Dawn, Snow Falling on Cedars and Pay It Forward all can go into a category that is just for plain ole waste of money, had potential but didn't make it. I don't know. Something was just missing from all these movies.
Thanks for all your input. Let me know of any more potential brain wasters because we all know there are more out there.

Random Thing #1

So I randomly want to rant about some stupid movies. Some of these I have to unfortunately admit to watching, but I am trying to spare the rest of you from loosing brain cells. I have wanted to write about this for some time, but had other pressing matters to attend to.
First of all on the top of my list of stupid movies, BABE. Yes, the cute little pig can not sway me with his so called cuteness. This has to be one of the worst movies ever conceived. Oh, my goodness I forgot there is one movie that actually surpasses Babe, it's Babe 2: Pig in the City! Wow, someone on drugs had to have been directing both these movies. Look! He is wearing a spiked collar! The dumb little mice, and the lame sheep password, the chapters... I can't handle garbage like that! The only reason I ever watched these movies was when I was in China working with kids who had a few too many brain cells and wanted to kill some off.
Number three on my list would have to be Spaceballs, the spoof on Star Wars. This is still way below The Babe movies because there are at least two lines in the movie that are actually funny. My favorite line from Barf: "I'm a mog!, half man, half dog; I'm my own best friend!" That one makes me laugh for some reason but anyways...
Another one stupid movie would be Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail. Yeah, you don't have to watch much of that movie to realize you wasted money renting it. Weird, just plain weird.
Recently I saw part of Wild Wild West and I think my mouth was open the whole time in disbelief. I am still stunned. Just look at this picture: Who has a villain that only has half a body? Ick.
Napoleon Dynamite, although is is a great quotable movie. It is still stupid! No plot, no climax, no nothing!
So this is the beginning of my stupid movie list. I know there are more out there, and it is our civic duty to make sure no more innocent civilians loose brain cells from watching these. If you know of any more potential stupid movies, let me know so we can be sure to warn others.

...to Lindsey's Wedding!

Ah, the day has come and gone. Lindsey Bates is now Lindsey Severyn. It was a beautiful wedding and Lindsey looked stunning as always. I helped set some stuff up Friday night, we were probably there until 12:30. It looked lovely though when we were finally done. My family put up a big fuss about making sure I would not put my hair in a pony tail, so this is what I did instead.
(They still were not that thrilled when the saw the pic.) It was great to see everyone that I did not get to see in Disneyland. And I got to spend time with the Willeys, yippee!

...to Disneyland!!!

Sorry for the delay in my blogs (I've started school and yes that is a very good excuse.)

So yes, I have finally been to Disneyland and I can honestly attest to the magic, it is real and everyone should experience it!
How cool is it to be able to go to the happiest place on earth with all of your close friends? Almost nothing can beat that! There are no words to describe how much fun I had! GTC alumni reunion in Disneyland was awesome! I wish we could do it every year!
It was a long drive, but definitely an experience! Friday night at Red Robin was a ton of fun with everyone there, I think there was somewhere around 38 of us. We went to a fun center later and played all sorts of games, mostly mini golf for me. I came in last. But Saturday moring was the Saturday of all Saturdays. The day I finally entered the land where all my dreams come true. Me and Kim came in a little after the first rush of people and honestly we had no idea where to go. So we just went on the first ride that we saw, which was the jungle safari. And wow was it a let down, I am pretty sure the guy wanted to get fired! But the next ride we went on was Indiana Jones!!! Wahoo! That was one of my top favorite rides. We sat right in the front, we were practically in each other's laps the whole time we were so scared! (Scared really isn't the right word, but I don't feel like thinking up another word.) After that thrill we met up with a bunch of other people and went on some ride, I don't remember which one. I basically went on all of them though. My absolute favorite was The Tower of Terror!!! (creepy music plays and if I could right that in a cool font I would.) Oh yeah, this ride, me and Kim really were in each other's laps... everytime. It was a rush!!
Every ride was cool in it's own way. The Aladdin show was really cool, and the 3-D Bug's Life show was amazing! The whole experience of each ride was unique and fun of course! My only complaint would be how rushed some of the characters were. Woody and Cinderella flat out ignored us, so I hung out with the villians. I would love to go back some time, maybe next week...
Yeah, I loved it! My family doesn't really want to go with me becasue they think that I will not have as much fun as when I was with all my buds. But hey, the magic doesn't go away!
