Shazam was amazing???!!! I wasn’t expecting that at all. I believed in Zachary Levi, but I didn’t expect the entire movie to be as great as it was!! The child actors had such good chemistry. The villain was cool. The jokes were hilarious. So. Good. Go see it!

How my bf and I spent $100+ seeing Captain Marvel.

I bought tickets to see Captain Marvel last night at a dine-in theater. Cost: $27

We arrived at the parking lot where my boyfriend pays for a parking pass, only to find out that there was a P!nk concert going on, so the lot was being used as event parking. We didn’t have time to drive home and get an Uber, so we ate the parking fee. Cost: $20

Since the movie was at 6:00, we got dinner. (It was refrigerator-cold mac & cheese, and I never got my drink. They made us pay in advance.)  Cost: $32

20 or so minutes into the movie, the fire alarm starts going off. The staff keeps serving people like it’s nothing, give us no information for 10 minutes, until a manager finally came in, paused the movie, and told is it was just kids playing with the fire extinguishers, and they’d rewind the movie.

We waited 10-15 minutes and then decided to get a refund, and go see the movie at another theater. New ticket cost: $27

We stood in line with a dozen other people to get refunds, and RIGHT AS we get to the front of the line, the fire department arrives and kicks everyone out of the building. Since we had to get to the other theater, we couldn’t stick around for a refund. (Though we’re going back today to get one, so help me God.)

We arrive at the other theater for an 8:30 showing. I’m half asleep because I’ve been getting up at 5 for work all week, so we get a small soda and some chocolate for a bit of caffeine and sugar (paragons of healthy living). Cost: $10

Total cost to see Captain Marvel: $116 (and several hours of aggravation)

But you know what? Worth it.

Just got back from HTTYD 3, and I am in PIECES!!! It was so pretty and colorful, and just a great ending to the trilogy, but now I don’t want it to end and just lakdfja dfdfa. I have no one here to talk to about it because my boyfriend doesn’t like the series and so I’m just like “yeah, it was really good”, but on the inside I am DY-ING

My therapist and I got on the topic of how I used to do parody songs, and long story short, she wrote down in her notebook that my goal for the next 2 weeks is to write/record one. So, guess what I’m doing...

I started teaching English to kids in China part-time while I search for a full-time gig, and it’s fun. But due to the fact that I misread the daylight savings schedule, I have to wake up every day this week at 5 AM instead of 6AM. I have discovered a new level of exhausted that I never before thought imaginable.

ok, girl, i feel you about httyd 3!!! it was so beautiful and a bittersweet but perfectly beautiful ending but it's like, so sad that it's /over/. so if you want to rant about things *finger guns* hit me up!

OK. But FOR. REAL. It was so great. (although, I could’ve done with more depth from the side characters and Eret feeling more like part of the gang. But that’s what fanart is for amirite???)

It honestly didn’t hit me that it was over until the credits started, and they started showing scenes from the first movie during the credits. Aesthetically though, this movie was AMAZING. It makes the first one look soo dated by comparison. But anyway I am overflowing with like 100000 different emotions about this movie and this franchise!!! It made me realize (along with the frozen trailer) how dispassionate I’ve been about animation in the last year or two, and that I’ve just been like ~existing~ and casually watching animation. But I could feel my passion returning sitting in that theater, and I don’t know where I’m going with this. It’s just a rant now, okay goodbye. Talk to me about dragons. (I so need to catch up on/finish the netflix stuff too. and tangled BEA. This is how much I’ve been in a rut. Holy smokes, Giselle, stop typing.)

I’m going through my rotbtd tag and remembering all the good times, and 99% of the URLs I click on either lead to a held url with no forwarding address or a dead blog. It’s super bumming me out. Where did everyone go???

I have finished the lyrics for the parody song I’m working on, but who knows if I’ll ever be able to actually sing it.
