random things
Aug. 17th, 2008 04:55 pmIt's too hot still to do chores. I have so many many chores. But it's too hot to do any of them! *avoids*
Amy T came over and we grabbed a slice of pizza at Pizza Passion--which I rather liked. Nice thin crust, but not soggy Neapolitan. We came back here to hang out for a little bit and she's just left.
Jeff's at a 5-hour matinee of Aida. Which I sincerely hope he's enjoying. I think I'm going to sit with my laptop in front of the fan and read an awesome story. Yes, yes I am.
Also--Jeff and I finally bought our tickets for the Ashland trip! Wooo! We're going to drive down the Wednesday before Halloween and stay through that Sunday! I can't wait!! We still need to rent the car and book hotel rooms (we're going to be spending the night in Portland, too!!) but at least we have tickets to five different shows! Let the road trip mix tape assembly begin! (Or, you know, iPod playlist assembly.)
No chores! No chores! Lalalalalalala!
Sarah's coming over at 7. We haven't seen each other in approximately five-thousand years. Yay! Leftover grilled chicken and sautéed zucchini for dinner it is!
Also, I went to see Wall.E last night and I really didn't like it at all. My most overwhelming reaction to it was boredom. I'd gone for the theatre AC and kept wishing I'd just stayed home. I thought components of it were cute (like, Wall.E and Eve) but the whole fat boneless baby human thing left me cold. I hated that they used live action actors for any part of it, and I thought it was a little weirdly heavy handed. I'd rather watch Cars again than this. Wall.E was as cute as Number Five ever was, and of course the animation was great. But overall, I've been sadly disappointed now with the last three Pixar films. Even Ratatouille (which I liked much better than Wall.E or Cars) wasn't anywhere near as good as Monsters, Inc. or The Incredibles --which were cinematic perfection, I thought. I also agree with Leigh that Wall.E seemed to be two different movies spatched together, and I much preferred the first half.
That's all! Now to continue avoiding laundry by reading on the couch!
