First movie review on this blog! Yaaaaaaay! Anyway.
Saw Hairspray last night and I LOVED it! I smiled the whole time. John Travolta was awesome and I want to hug him. Everyone else was amazing as well. I know alot of people my age hate Zac Efron because he's like the new "it" boy when it comes to tweens and teens, but I love him. There. I said it. He was great and has a future in musicals. It was funny seeing Brittany Snow in a mean girl role, she's usually the nice girl. Elija Kelly (sp?) Wow. I wanna go to the 60s where detention was sexy (jk, sorta). Anyway, Nikki Blonski, the lead was fabulous. I loved her. She has a great voice and is so funny! Michelle Phifer and Queen Latifa were great too! And Christopher Walking... He still creeps me out a little after watching the Headless Horsemen and the Rundown, but I'm warming up to him after this, Wedding Crashers and the cowbell skit on SNL (yes, I realize it is old). I still think he wears lipstick. Anyway, go see the movie, it was great, for lack of a better word.
Oh, speaking of reviews, Harry Potter and the Deathley Hallows was great. It gets mixed reviews with some of my friends, but I really liked it.

Writing, Neil, Harry, Wal-Mart, Batman, and My Little Pony: In one Action Packed Post!
It's around time for a new post. Let's see. I last wrote about my wisdom teeth, right? Yeah, that sucked, but it's over. The swelling has finally gone completely away (took long enough)and I don't have to use the syringe(sp?) to flush out the holes any more.
So I went to NC a few weeks ago. I went rafting and hiking. Rafting is fun, but no matter what season it is, the water is always colder than belief. I'm honestly suprised my foot didn't fall off. Once the numbness set in though, it wasn't so bad. Hiking was great. I had more stamina than I thought. Hiking gives you a sort of adventurey feel, even if you are on a trail.
Speaking of adventure, I started writing a new story up there. I'm not very far, but I'm actually kind of excited about it. I've had the general idea for awhile, but it never really fleshed out. And then a few days ago, I had this massive idea! I'm so happy with it! Maybe I'll post the intro to what I have here. Maybe I wont. I don't know.
On a dorky note, I'm so ready for the last Harry Potter book! Yay! You know, JKR has really opened a lot of doors. She's kind of expanded the market for Fantasy novel that can be enjoyed by anyone. I'm not saying that she's the first to have written something like that, but it's gotten more people interested in the genre. Lately I've been inding more books in my genre. They're not right out in the open, but once you know where to look, they're everywhere! I've just discovered another auther, Neil Gaimen(sp?). I haven't read him yet, but it's on the list after Harry Potter 7 and this Nora Roberts book that I'm reading right now. He does the different worlds type thing and seems to have a satiricle style, sort of like William Goldman's (Princess Bride: My favorite book).
Going in a completely random direction, up in NC, Super Wal-mart up is the closest store around. Just don't buy the meat. We were looking at it and there was a little notice on it. It said 8% solution. Sorry, but I'm not buying something that has any percentage of mystery solution. Who knows what it is? That and the meat just looked weird.
I saw a sign outside of a little NC shop that said "No photography please," Oops. I guess that is a real rule. Too bad I took a picture before I saw it. If I could figure out how to put pics from my cell phone on here I would do it, because it an awesome picture. The store had this section of 5 dollar ornaments. There was this really cool Batman one and this pink My Little Pony one. They were proportionate in size, so I found a little table and posed them. Batman was a warior wielding a mighty bowstaff atop his noble pink steed. It was glorious. I'm serious. That picture is now my wallpaper. Yes, I have an illegal picture as my cell phone wall paper. I ended up buying the batman figure, but I was too cheap to splurge for My Little Pony. Looking back, I greatly regret it. Next time I go up there I'm going to find that store and unite my little justice duo.
I got my oil changed for the firrst time today. It was fun. Yes, fun. I got a free car wash and they held the door open and closed it for me when I got in. And they waved at me as I drove off, like I was Dorothy leaving Oz. It was very nice. Grand Prix is a magical place.
If you read that entire post, congrats and thank you. I enjoyed it. Hopefuly I'll still have readers when I next update. ^_^
