The lovers, the dreamers, and me...

California was wonderful. The flights to and from were... interesting. Traveling with a neurotic/psychotic grandmother, a mother stressing herself to the point of a coronary, and an 11 month old baby made for a blissful flight. I only could have hoped for a woman singing showtunes off key and a kid scraping his fingernails across a chalkboard for a "complete" flying experience.
Universal studios was a lot of fun. 3 slices of pizza and 3 cokes was $30. When we got back to the hotel I told my mom we had a 3 way with my sister and Van Helsing, we got on our knees for Fivel, and got hit on by Spiderman. If you've never been, I suggest Shrek 4-D and the Mummy ride. If you're sick of walking, hop on the back lot tour- its 45 minutes and you get to see a shredded Boeing 747 scene from War of the Worlds.
My brothers wedding was absolutely beautiful. My sisters were joking that the last 2 still unwed had a lot of work to do to one-up this wedding. All the groomsmen were in kilts, and the wedding party walked down to Cannon in D. The bride was led down by a bagpiper- and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Even the best man (NRA-deer huntin-BFE livin eldest brother) welled up, which just makes it harder for the rest of us to hold back the tears.

I saw Fantasic 4 last night. Joe, be glad you missed it. Besides the acting that licks balls, there was a guy a few seats down from us that was talking to his invisible friend the entire movie, and laughing really loud at parts that were only supposed to be mild sarcastic humor. Or even better, when Johnny realizes he has fire power, the guy said "and they were all like "woah! hahaha!" or "FLAME ON!" about an hour before the character says it. Or, "Dr. DOOM!" 4 or 5 times before he turns into Dr. Doom. The character just had to be onscreen... nothing more. I still enjoyed it. I like most of the comic book movies. I just wish I hadn't paid $15.

Maybe he was on a date with the Invisible Chick.
