Just came back from "Super 8".

I might get some flak for this but here it goes; It's a great summer flick. I know there are some complaints about it and yes there are flaws, but it has some really great characters and a solid storyline. There are lots of fantastic moments with these kids and the movie showcases their personalities and how they handle a terrible situation beautifully and in a way that is both humorous and exciting. The alien in this movie is given the Cloverfield treatment, meaning you only see bits and pieces of it until the end, but I'm glad it was more about the kids than the alien. Part of me wishes they would either cut the whole alien out (but then there would be no plot), or speed up the action just a tad(also the military is unnecessarily evil), but I digress. It's not meant to be deep, just fun. Super 8 was made to look and feel like an 80s classic sci-fi adventure, and I enjoyed that aspect of it as well. "The Case" at the end of the film was endearing and I really don't have many qualms about this film, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I guess I'm just a sucker for coming-of-age stories.

Stay Tuned for Part 3!

Stay tuned for Part 2!

First of all I admit it, I jumped on the Tumblr bandwagon! If it makes you feel any better Livejournal, none of my posts on Jennisloth are personal, they are 99% animated gifs that I find amusing. Onward!

I am working on a comic strip of my trip but those take time so for now I would like to put up my husband's Flickr with the best of both of our pictures and his trip report!

Some of the major highlights:

-The Epcot Tour! I learned so much about the park's history and got to see VIP Lounges and old relics of attractions that don't exist anymore! Also preferred seating for Illuminations Fireworks~

-Meeting wonderful people. We befriended many fellow tourists and my husband got to geek out about Disney with them. It's always fun to meet people with similar interests~

-The food! I can't begin to tell you about the food. Sweet Jesus.

...and finally, my husband Guy got to achieve one of his life goals!

WE WERE IN DISNEYLAND AND DISNEYWORLD ON THE SAME DAY

...and it was exhausting!!

Here is my husband's recap of the trip!

And here is the Flickr with both of our best pictures!

My comics will highlight some other things and explain in more detail, but for now GOODNIGHT

I swear, I am ALIVE

I'm sitting here at home with Guy and some of my closest friends, watching South Park and eating Pizza Loca. There's a lot for me to look back on this year - we purchased a house, went to Disneyworld for a week, and have been pretty much living it up for the whole year. I even got a second job (which has been a blessing and a curse).

I guess my resolution is to just take it easier this year. The second job has taken its toll on me so I need to learn to relax and make 2010 as stress-free as possible.

See ya!

This movie was everything a Disney-princess movie should be.

~It was pretty
~It was charming
~It was super fun!

Is it the deepest movie I have ever seen? No, not really, but IT'S A DISNEY PRINCESS MOVIE. So for all you haters out there, it's time to chill and have some fun. And if you can't have fun, go watch Precious instead.

I LOVED this movie. Honestly, I felt like a kid again, and it really felt more like a Don Bluth cartoon than Disney to me. The Tiana's Place sequence s pure eye-candy. If I was a kid I would be exploding all over this movie, buying all sorts of knick-knacks and remembering the soundtrack and drawing little Tianas everywhere. Hell I may even draw a Tiana this week, given the time.

Anywayssssssssss, go see it! It's wonderful!!

...what would you buy yourself this Christmas?

( I definitely buy these things. )

ANYWAYS WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!

So many events have been robbing me of time and internet!

~Disneyland is/has been our home away from home almost every weekend for about a year now. This was taken last weekend in Downtown Disney. You'd think we'd get bored but nope. Not us.

~Job #1 is soul crushing and evil, makes me feel like Peter from Office Space. Its only saving grace is that I can listen to my music, but that cubicle is suffocating me. Oh and I have 3 bosses (still less than Office Space's 8 bosses). This is essentially, me.


~Job #2 is wonderful and perfect. They have been sending me to publicity events. I will be in an upcoming Press Telegram, public speaking. EXCITED.

~We are redesigning one of the rooms of the house into an exercise/display room.

~We are painting our living room COOKIE MONSTER blue. It will be awesome.

~Ray threw his birthday party at our house, and it was a pajama party. Needless to say, it was AMAZING. I think everyone had fun. Here are Ray's pictures! http://www.flickr.com/photos/skupen/tags/november21/

~Ray and I are in the process of making a picture book and possibly a graphic novel. I'm excited to get my creative juices flowin'. Any excuse to get my mind off Job #1 is welcome.

~Next weekend is The Princess and the Frog and the Nutcracker Ballet I believe!

Hasta Luego!

There's still roughly 30 minutes until my birthday is over.

Guy was nice enough to take me to Disneyland and treat me to Goofy's Kitchen today!
We rode Indiana Jones and the Monorail before gettin' our grub on. For anyone who doesn't know about Goofy's Kitchen, it's a gourmet buffet with various Disney characters walking around so you can take pictures with them, and it's super expensive so we only go when it's someone's birthday~

I ate about two plates of food and finished a half plate of dessert before calling it quits, Guy had a whopping 3 food plates and 1 1/2 dessert plates before being in physical pain!

We did manage to take some pictures...


Minnie Mouse is a very tiny lady in person, she and I were almost the same size!

( The rest... )

Afterwards, I went to visit my parents ^_^ My mother made me the dress I wore to Goofy's Kitchen but she surprised me with another one today! She is so sweet and a self-made present is so thoughful <3 My dad gave me some Ferrero Rocher chocolates and a little cat that grows when you pour water on it hehe. Tomorrow night we are all going to La Huasteca, a fancy Mexican restaurant in Plaza Mexico (in Los Angeles). I plan on wearing my other new dress and buying a wrestling mask for Guy ^.~
My own present to myself was to take a few days off from both jobs so I can sleep in and be with family and friends. It's probably the best gift I could ever give myself. Oh and a new necklace...that's coming in the mail~


More pictures to come TOMORROW~~~
