flyakateWheeeeeee in California am I! The house in Newport Beach which is not new except to me, so it's like those NBC commericals for Friends, is great though lacking in lots of furniture. But there is a bed! For me! Which got here only hours ago, but I can sleep somewhere that is not the floor or a folding chair. Ooooooh, and this room has a little cutesy loft-thing that I would have spent all my time in as a small child. Honestly, if I could get a bed up there, I would stay there forever. Yet, it's a little small for that. Boo.
Tomorrow is my mom's birthday, which is exciting. All I know of our plans involve going to Balboa Island and getting a famed Balboa bar. And, y'know, getting me a matress pad and sheets that fit. Yay.
Oh, saw Lady in the Water and cheered for the glimpse of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kumquat_queen's name in the credits. It was a little over wrought with mood and mythology, but I like a great deal of the pieces. I wish we could have gotten more about the silent dude in his apartment and Mrs. Bell, 'cause they were cool. And it was surreal that M. Night Shamalan (I can't take the time to spell his name correctly, sorry) has bigger and bigger roles in his movies, but I really enjoyed his piece, and the "message" about the power of writing and stories. Even though it is bittersweet, which probably says something profound about the cost of art.
I wonder if the bedtime story in the movie exists somewhere to read. It'd be really interesting looking as it as less of a visual medium. Anyone know where that might be found?
On that same subject, there were some AWESOME trailers in front of it, and fortunately several to balance out the heart-rending World Trade Center (if you cry at the drop of a hat, be warned before clicking. It looks inspirational and uplifting and all that, but if the TRAILER makes me cry, don't even think about getting me to see the movie) and some new Will Smith movie that would ALSO make me cry. Go see the trailers for Children of Men and The Fountain, and, if I could find it, One Good Year (which looks like it might be bad, but perhaps also uplifting, see previous category). Also, go see stuff about The Prestige, which wasn't in front of Lady but doesn't it look cool? OMG Christian Bale+Hugh Jackman+magic+tension+HOTNESS = !!!!!! God, there are so many lush and vivid new movies coming out. *bounces with excitement*
If I get my act in order, I'll put up a post for postcards (either California or Hawaii, which is the next station stop) if people want. My ability to have internet will be pretty consistent but off a couple hours until Wednesday, when The Reunion commences. Oh lord, how much family will there be? And yet, I was thinking about how hard it is that some key members.... aren't there anymore. Honestly, if someone sings "Scotch and Soda" at the party, I'll lose it. And I know I won't be the only one.
Hope everyone's end of July is shaping up nicely!
