I'm going to camp...

Every year around this time, I go to my local camp for a week from sunday afternoon to friday evening. Well, the time has come for my 5th year of going to said camp. It is a sleep-away camp, which means no internet access, (um....*gulp* help?) so I find it only natural to warn my internet friends that I will be gone, so they don't think something bad happened to me...XD.

So, let's just cut to the chase...

I'm not going to be online from August 1st to August 6th. I will most likely be back online on August 7th.

Let's hope I have a good time, and I'll see you all next weekend! (maybe I'll write about my camp experience when I get back...)

EDIT: I'm back! It was quite awesome :) I'm just glad I have internet again. XD
BTW sorry about the lack of posts, I'm kind of out of inspiration...I need ideas!!! But don't worry, I'll think of something in the coming weeks...

Free Family Film Festival :)

I love seeing favorite movies on the big screen, even if i've seen them before (who dosen't?) But once it comes out on DVD, the thrill of seeing it in the theater has kinda worn off.

Well, if said favorite movie is NOT made by Disney, and you live near a little paradise that I like to call a Regal Entertainment Theater, you might know about something called the Free Family Film Festival. (or the FFFF as I like to call it) Where 2 movies are played at 10 AM every Tuesday and Wendsday during the summer :)

Last week at this time I saw Surf's Up at the FFFF. It was awesome seeing it again, because anyone who knows me for any amount of time knows that I LOVE Surf's Up. But aside from seeing it in the theater again, the best part is all the little kids and families seeing it with you. There's a daycare right next to my theater, and their kids went to Surf's Up with me, along with a bunch of other people I don't know...

Hearing the remarks of the little kids is the BEST part! If you're watching the movie for the first time it's just annoying, but if you've seen it already...it's downright hillarious!!!

Now, I just got back from seeing Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (CWACOM) at the FFFF, and I LOVED it! It wasn't in 3D of course, but just seeing the film grain on the movie itself makes me feel all nostalgistic :D And there were a ton, A TON, of people at my viewing. And going back to my point about the little kids' remarks, they were AWESOME during this viewing.

The best one I heard during CWACOM was this:
Cal: (on screen) "Hey Flint! Wanna be in a snowball fight with us?"
Little kid: "Don't you mean ice cream ball fight?"

Not many good ones during Surf's Up, but I remember one little kid going "PENGUIN!" at the start.

I have a name for little kids like this: "What's Chum's." Now how they got that name is an inside joke between me and my buddy Lem. It's a long story.

Also, it's official: I have fallen in love with Despicable Me :D Saw it about 2 weeks ago, LOVED IT. After CWACOM was over I wanted to sneak into DM, but I knew I didn't have time XD I heard it playing in another room, and I started to listen, but I didn't want to be caught so I quickly left. :D I REALLY want to see DM again....but that's another post for another time. ;)
