Please note this review may contain spoilers!


I saw Toy Story 3 tonight and it was AMAZING. I was a huge fan of the first film when I was little (to be honest I don’t remember too much about the second :P) so I was so excited to hear about a third! Toy Story 3 definitely has a lot to offer to the older fans who have grown up a little as well as to newer fans.

The basic premise of the movie is that Andy is going off to college and doesn’t need his toys anymore. Through some misfortune and a misunderstanding the toys end up at Sunnyside Day Care. Woody tries to escape to go back to Andy, only to find out that Sunnyside isn’t so sunny. So Woody makes his way back to bust them out. More things happen involving an Buzz speaking Spanish, the little aliens finding the ‘ultimate’ claw, and the toys always being burned :D

There’s a mean bear that’s huggable, purple, and smells like strawberries. A creepy baby, and many other new toys. I won’t spoil the ending at all, but of course there’s a happy ending :) I greatly enjoyed this movie! The action in the movie was amazing, the toys were all designed well, and it really reawakens your own imagination. Pixar also is famous for the short films at the beginning, and “Night & Day” is also a great addition to the film!

I definitely recommend for anyone and everyone to see this film! I can not wait for it to com out on dvd :) I give Toy Story 3 5/5 stars, for the action, adventure, dialogue, making me laugh way too much sometimes, and the overall plot. The movie was highly enjoyable. So go see it now, what are you waiting for ;)?

Irony of this post is yesterday I talked about the power going out at work, well when I got home from the movie the power was out! Was out for maybe 20 mins until it came back on but when I got settled on the computer with my laptop it went out again, oh joy. So I typed this up in the dark, yay.


Nothing But Darkness

I worked today, and it decided to storm. There’s nothing like sitting in the break room watching Transformers on tv only to have the power randomly cut off. Twice. Because the lights coming back on is a way for the power and weather to tease you. Thankfully it wasn’t off long. But spending the rest of my break staring at a blue screen saying “can not find signal” was not very exciting :P

The weather also decided to knock out the power later on, but this time I was actually on the sales floor. I left the flashlight I had in the cart (I was zoning at the time) and was in another section to grab something and of course the power went out. I just stood there, as still as possible, waiting for it to come back on. Once it did I sprinted to my cart and grabbed the flash light and carried it with me for about an hour until the storm passed :P ‘Cos you know, the power doesn’t go out when you have a flash light near you it’s only when you don’t.

Now the power going off at work I don’t mind, hey I’m getting paid to fiddle with a flash light and run around in the dark until the back up generators kick on. Works for me! But when I’m at home I get soooo bored. Especially if it’s pitch black and I have to use my flashlight like it’s part of me. What do you do when you’re home and the power goes out? I usually watch a movie on my portable dvd player or laptop if they have enough power in them, if not I draw, clean, organize random things, or read. Tomorrow I am seeing Toy Story 3, expect a review of it tomorrow :)


Om Nom Nom

Tonight for dinner Patrick (boyfriend) came over and we made taco salad. It was soooo good. I love making things I haven’t personally made before or had in a while, and that was one of them. It was so good, left overs tomorrow ftw!

This week also mixed rice with tomato soup and it was tasty too :D Make anything this week you just loved or did you eat something that was extra tasty?
