Tim and I watched Beauty and the Beast last night. It was fun because it was the first time I have seen the movie on "the big screen." It was nice that it was only us two watching it so we had the opportunity to sing a long (cuz it's a sing-a-long) without feeling self conscious. What I liked about it was that since it was on the big screen I could see all the detail in the backgrounds and the animation itself. It was really cool to be able to notice all the characters facial expressions, a lot of which were HILARIOUS. It really felt like I was watching the movie for the first time. The only thing I didn't like was that reading the words to sing a long was a bit distracting from the animation itself. I don't think it will bug most people the way it bugged me though. GO WATCH IT if you can. I really hope that they do this sing a long thing with all the other Disney movies that have yet to be released on Blu Ray cuz that would be so amazing. If I ever get the chance to see Aladdin on the big screen... I don't even know what I'd do!
In other news, I just watched the second trailer to Harry Potter. I am so unbelievably excited that it tickles... I mean Im tingling. The movie will be epic Im sure, but as most of you know, I'm more excited for the score which is being composed by my most favorite composer EVER (next to Michael Giacchino) Alexandre Desplat!!! I was reading some articles about which direction he's taking for the score and he says that he is going to bring back a lot of the original music (Headwigs Theme I think is the name of that little tune I dunno) because he felt that it wasn't used a lot in recent films, and I AGREE 100%! AAHHH I wish I could listen to it right NAO! But the internets is telling me it wont be out until NOVEMBER :( I'm listening to music from HP3 which is my favorite book AND movie. My favorite song is called Window to the Past which plays when Lupin and Harry on on the bridge at Hogwarts and Lupin is telling Harry about his parents. Here have a listen. Best song ever.
It's almost October and I have yet to purchase a pumpkin or anything black or orange!! What it wrong with me??!?!? AAAHHHH HALLOWEEN IM SOOO EXCITED!! AAAHHH!!!!
Any-who... that is all.

Strip Me
WELL, what happened to this month?? It seems like only yesterday it was September 1st now it's almost October! Time seems to be slipping by me when I wish it would stand still. I've been feeling out of touch lately it's hard to explain. But enough about that.
Nothing new is happening over here in Margaritaville. Vince and I went to the Angels game yesterday (Wednesday) it was fun. Vince is sick (probably with cat AIDS) but he somehow crawled out of bed long enough to sit through 7 innings. I would draw a comic about the cool things that happened at the game but Im not in the mood right now. I think I want a tablet.
The only cool things im looking forward to right now is Halloween and our Halloween party!! It's all I've been thinking about since the beginning of September. It's going to be SUPER epic. More epic than Scott Pilgrim. Damn straight.
And finally, this song

Sun Burn
Summer is over. This summer was lacking in a lot of things like the beach, being outside during the day, the beach, and hanging out with friends. I didn't really realize until this very second how much I miss last years summer time... Long nights under the stars, crazy conversations, parties, sleep overs... all fond memories filed away in my mind. I think that if there was one summer I could re-live it would be that one (or the crazy summer of 1999).
This year has been all over the place so far so it's not surprising there hasn't been much time for fun to be had. Vince and I moved up to Orange county not 5 months ago! It seems like a life time ago though. All the two of us have been doing is going to work and coming home and Vince started going to school (which I think he's done with for now) so we've both been pretty busy. Im sure that things will start to settle soon though. The two best seasons of the year are coming up and with it comes Halloween (and a tubular Halloween party!), Thanksgiving (and a radical Thanksgiving dinner cooked by yours truly!) and Christmas (with gnarly presents-o-plenty)! I'm really excited for this years Holidays. It gives me a chance to decorate my home with pretty things and I sure love me some decoratin'!
Yesterday I went to Disneyland with Tim and it was so much fun! We were there the entire day. Highlights include going to Glowfest which would cause many people to tilt theirs heads in puzzlement. They basically turn California Adventure into a rainbow themed nigh club, they play the latest jams (and Michael Jackson!) and serve drinks. Yeah I had me some drinks, which came with glow themed cups or martini glasses or stirrers. Tim and I danced awkwardly amongst the crowd composed mainly of children, teenagers and their parents. After dancing we went over to watch World of Color but honestly I didnt enjoy it much. Everyone was taller than me so I could only see the tip top of the characters heads. It was annoying but hopefully I can go back soon and watch it from a better area (HINT HINT NUDGE NUDGE VINCE LETS GO TO DISNEYLAND!).
Nimbus is so FREAKING CUTE!!
I woke up this morning feeling rather melancholy (residue emotion from last night I suppose) and I've been listening to some of my favorite tunes. This is probably one of my favorite songs OF ALL TIME. I heard it for the first time when my sister and I played Final Fantasy IV way back in the day. I think we were... in 3rd and 2nd grade? The entire soundtrack to that game has always stood out from the rest for me, but this song in particular plucks at my heart strings and tear ducts every time I listen to it. If I ever get the privilege of getting married (to Edward!!), my only wish is that this song be played at my wedding.
Speaking of hot guys named Edward, there is a song from the same game called Melody of Lute and it's the theme of a character named Edward! He plays it for his girlfriend who happens to die in the first 20 minutes of the game and he spends the rest of the time trying to avenge her death :(
And just because this came on my iTunes right now. This movie... oh man this movie. I cried like a baby, I walked out sobbing. It wasn't until recently that I realized the true reason it made me cry though. The mind works in mysterious ways sometimes.
This was the theme song to last years summer. SO, I will end this entry on a high note and leave you with the end credits to UP. Here's to next years summer, let it be filled with laughter, smiles, sideways glances, summer romances and plenty of (reluctant) hugs.
FUN FACT: This blog is titled Spirit of Adventure because of this movie :)
