If it didn't mean attempting to drive to UCLA from Orange starting at 6 on a Friday, we would have gone to tonight's installment of The UCLA Hammer Museum's Sundance Summer Shorts. We could go next week, the last of the series, when CP doesn't work. But this week's lineup of films are what I really wanted to see, the theme being non-traditional film making, and featuring an animation by Don Hertzfeldt (creator of Rejected). Next week's theme is documentaries. I'm sure it would still be entertaining, but I'm really going to regret missing tonight's.

This weekend I want to do nuthing but veg.


Of course, that's impossible. Because I've got a Luau and a Harry Potter costume party on Saturday, and a Texas Bar-B-Q on Sunday.




I'm really glad things have slowed down after Disneyland Birthday.

Oh, too bad you didn't go. They are featuring the academy-award-winning short for this year, called "Ryan." I can honestly say that it was my favorite film of the year. It was beautiful and brilliant. And I knew the academy would never support something as fragile and incredible as it was. Boy, was I surprised.

If any of you want to see it sometime, we're waiting for our DVD copy to arrive in the mail. It might befit a Ryan-watching party.

I'd be there for that. I've heard great things about that film.

How about DCA?

All right whiney butts. Here's you: I went to Disneyland and had a fantastic time and now I'm not having as much fun, poor me! :p I'm totally joking, of course, but you guys don't seem to realize how lucky you are that you got to be there at all. I guess that's one good thing about living far away. I can always manage to look forward to my next DL trip. ;)

nope...no blues here..:)...I went to DL for an hour got ears...went to dca...got ears ...left dca...they gave me more ears and went home. I LOVED dca that day...we spent most of our time there..:)

I have blues because I had to miss the whole darn thang, including an actual iSm party. Crud. Worked the San Diego Con all weekend, which was its own kinda horror/fun, but geez.......

We'll be celebrating later this summer, with all our kids.

And welcome Sameer! ;) Another SW geek here is soooo great!

I go to a theme park (non Disney) every day for work... it hasn't helped the post 50th blues much (except for the WONDERFUL appletinis after work today)

Heehee, :iSm: sucks at doing nothing. :p

We actually tried to see someone tonight but they were busy, so we're saving Choc. Factory for a matinee tomorrow. I'd like to go clothes shopping, which I really need to do. Sale at Kohls! :snap:

I can see myself staying up and finishing Half-Blood Prince tonight.

Sounds like a perfect weekend to me. :cheers:


I just know we'll end up calling someone Saturday night....must fight social urges...
