The Countdown Begins!

Hook: A brilliant movie and I love watching it. but I recently found two awesome quotes to add to awesome quotes. so, minnasan, enjoy these two quotes because they are brilliant!

Hook to the crew: Good morning my stupid sorrid sacks of entrails!

Smee to Hook: But Captain, you have the sleasiest sleeves of the seven seas!

brilliant right? AAAAAND Chris comes home in 18 days!! Yes, I am so excited! It's going to be talking in japanese all day, craving sushi and ramen, and learning to use chopsticks all over again. I am sooo excited.

And I recently did the Zion Narrows in one day, which my family always refers to The Blitz, and I was amazed that after two years of not hiking it my legs still remembered how to navigate the greased bowling balls, and I wasn't as sore as I expected. but it was lovely and fun and I so want to go do it again, and I brought back some water from the Big Springs and I had to chase my family away from it. Big Springs to my family is like--as my Dad so amazingly put it-- sweet Bella-blood to a newborn vampire. yeah, I had to carry that bottle everywhere with me to make sure my family didn't drink too much. Alas, it is now gone.

So, that is my latest happiness. I'm off now to brainstorm and jot down the dream I had during my nap with Peej. Toodles!

What was that, Francis? You want a pony? First prove to me that you can take care of Rupert and then I will get you a pony. . . .yes, that's right, Rupert. . . .Good luck, little goatie

Empty Recycle Bins

So, I must have a really small recycle bin on my laptop because i delete one tiny little item (a one-page document) and it fills it up instantly. If I delete a whole folder chock full of reports, music, movies, and stories, would it explode? would my computer have a circuit breakdown? It's very tempting to try in my opinion. . . .

so, nothing new to report except that I went straight from Memphis to Omaha in the same week. Not only is flying all day on an airplane very tiring but so is driving across two states in one day. And not little states either. We're talking Wyoming and Nebraska. Omaha happens to be on the far side of the state.

BUT my aunt took us all to this awesome bookstore. It's called Half-Price Bookstore, everything is half off or less! yeah, I was in heaven. I bought the most books out of everyone because I found a ton written by Lloyd Alexander in the Clearance section. I was happy. They had a few books by Diana Wynne Jones, but not a lot. I would have bought the Dalemark Quartet but they only had the second and fourth book. :P I'll keep looking for that series though. . . .

So, that's been happy. And since being here we saw Avatar (the REAL one), Eclipse, and Toy Story 3. Here's the breakdown:

Avatar: A bit of a bummer. Sokka wasn't funny. but the bending was cool.
Eclipse: I was rooting for the newborn army
Toy Story 3: definitely the best original trilogy someone thought up. Just as good as the first two. Kudos to Pixar

I did see How to Train Your Dragon again (yes, for the fourth time) and as always I loved it. It was Mom's first time seeing it and she got into it. She kept grabbing my arm and asking if Toothless was going to be okay. It was very funny.

So, yeah. . . .that's about it. . .*poof*
