Last night, my dad treated me to a movie. We met at Flagship, which translates to: I sprinted into the lobby toting my puffy vest for added warmth and a purse chock-a-block full of discounted snacks purchased moments earlier at a nearby Cumbie's (rather than the exorbitantly priced theatre snacks that probably expired in 1999 but still have enough gumminess to rip out any decent tooth filling therefore causing an even more expensive dental repair the following day) where Dad was waiting with tickets and 3-D glasses in hand; he passed them off in as if handing me a baton while we quickly said hello, found our way to the appropriate theatre (or "port," as Flagship so cleverly calls it), quickly caught each other up on the various activities of our days while Johnny Depp's interpretation of the Mad Hatter filled the screen, then donned our stylish goggles and nestled in for three hours of Avatar. I'm not saying this because the critics are boasting it, but... go see it! It's definitely worth it. I completely forgot I was wearing those sexy glasses, that's how phenomenal it was. (Then again, I'm a nerd when it comes to CGI... Avatar, Pirates of the Caribbean, Toy Story... pff, any Pixar for that matter... the things you can do with computer graphics amaze me!) After seeing Avatar, I figured I should dedicate a post to Nature, specifically really big trees. Here are a few photos from my family's trip to California this past summer. We spent a majority of our time in Arnold, a remote town high in the Sierra Nevadas that happens to be a stone's throw from a redwood park. Some dedication to Avatar, huh?
If only 'the People' had a sign like this... could've helped their cause, just saying.
Truly breathtaking
The hopeless romantic side of me loves this carving, seems to have been done ages ago.

ReplyDeleteI know, I disgust myself. You should see Avatar, though. 3-D is always a blast!
