Happy Fourth of July (a little late)

So my town has the biggest firework display on the 3rd instead of the 4th. I went to that, and got to see a bunch of people that I didn't really want to see from high school and avoid eye contact so I didn't have to have awkward small talk with them.

Here are some fireworks:


Yeah pretty explosions in the sky. Oh I have some video too.



On the actual fourth of July I just watched movies with my friend. I'll review those tomorrow, I don't feel like making a long post right now.

It's super duper hot here today. I spent all day laying next to the window reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I literally almost read the whole book in one sitting.

Last comic standing was very disappointing today. Nobody was very funny and my favorite girl, Carmen Lynch didn't make it to the finals.

I think the judges are really stupid. I just think they all have terrible taste in comics, but everyone has different taste I guess. Plus they wouldn't be hosting the show if their careers were super successful, I'm just sayin'. They can just be very pretentious and act like they're the comic gods of the world. Today's episode pissed me off.

Tomorrow Pretty Little Liars is on, SO PUMPED. Now I'm kinda just rambling because I'm waiting for the fireworks video to upload. I need to get a new fish, my fish died and my tank is so lonely now. Trip to Walmart coming up, CYEAH.

Video is done, yay!

Berry Picking!

I went Berry Picking today. I can never seem to remember when strawberries are out of season. FYI they are.

So I've never had/don't like other berries so I mostly just took pictures.






I got my e.l.f. make up today and will probably post about it tomorrow because I'm feeling sick now (I think it's because of the raspberries.)

Oh and.....I'm very very very happy Melinda got voted off So You Think You Can Dance. Now I'm really worried about who is going to go home next week because everyone else left is amazing. And I'm happy they are changing it around and talking about the All Stars more because I was really disappointed in the way that they did that.

Alice In Wonderland

FINALLY saw it. I actually had no real interest in seeing this film. I don't usually like Tim Burton films (with the exception of Beetlejuice and Big Fish). I've also never read the book, seen the Disney film, or know anything about any of the characters/plot/history of Alice in Wonderland.

But obviously this film was quite popular and my friend just brought it over so YEAH I watched it. Firstly I just want to say I think it's really annoying how no wonder what role Johnny Depp has in a movie he always has to be the main focus of the advertisements. Like I know that it sells films and stuff but I just feel bad for Mia Wasikowska, who was very good in this and just got tossed aside in the ads even though she IS Alice. I love that Alan Rickman and Helena Bonham Carter are in this because any time a Harry Potter cast member is there, I'm excited.

So the film. I thought it was okay? I think sometimes it was hard to understand the story since I actually had no idea what Alice In Wonderland was about. I hate when the characters talk to fast and then just start laughing and I'm like "UH WHAT JUST HAPPENED?" I don't really know if I can review this properly since I was kinda lost a lot of the time. Although the story kinda reminded me of an evil(er) Chronicles of Narnia on crack.

As for cinematography and all that fancy stuff, I was not thrown off by anything. There weren't any shots where I was like WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? The whole mixture of animation and live action was pretty nice. When she first fell down the rabbit hole I was a little skeptical of it because everything looked so fake, but throughout the whole film everything was pretty realistic. It must have been an interesting film to shoot, especially with all the height changes, which was pretty cool.

So yeah, I'm not sure how to judge this so just see it and decide for yourself. Actually you've probably already seen it, I think I'm the last one.
