Just a Quick Little One

Okay, okay. Since I recieved 9 comments, I figured I should update before Disneyland. As most of you probably already know, we get to spend an extra day in Disneyland. Yeah!! I'm excited. I haven't gotten a clear cut answer about Star Tours yet. Is it fun? Will I get sick? Will I go on it anyway because it is about Star Wars?!?!? Okay, Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Carribean, Buzz Lightyear, sorry, no teacups for me, and I might go crazy and try space mountain. Apparently there is a raft ridish thing in California Adventure. Is that as fun as, say, the one in Six Flags Marine World? That's for those of you who been there obviously. For you others, (the majority), how is it anyway? For something not about Disneyland, we did Easter Eggs with the awesome Star Wars kit that was a Target exclusive. It had Star Wars stickers, those wrap around things that you submerge in hot water to make them go onto the egg, some of those same wrap around things with faces of Star Wars people on them and little stands that looked like the character's bodies. Anyway, I'd probably put some pictures on here if I weren't so lazy and church didn't start in fifteenish minutes. Well, technically, it doesn't start till 9:30 and we're going to brakefast anyway with a Sunday School teacher who is usually late. Oh well, I guess it wasn't so short.

Happy Easter!!!

I guess I just start without too much of an introduction. Today went well. We got up at five o'clock and went to the sunrise service. The sun rose while the service was going. Dad sang the Watch the Lamb song and everybody cried and it was good. Attendance was really low and besides us, there was only one other person in Sunday School! We've hung out this afternoon, had some folks over for Easter dinner, played Super Mario Sunshine and read. We technically don't get a Easter Vacation but we had a half day on Friday and we get tomorrow off. The reason that we don't get a technical Easter Break is because, in nine days, and you ready for this? Drumroll please, bum,budda,bum,budda, bum, bum,,, We're going to Disneyland!!!!! On Tuesday after next, we are going, with Grandmom and Grandad to spend Wednesday at either Disneyland proper or at California Adventure, and on Thursday it'll be the other one. Can you believe that Anaheim is only four and a-half hours from our house? Anyway, that's exciting. It's not spur of the moment, it's been around for a while, we just weren't sure till a couple of days or so ago. If nothing else, respond commentwise with recommendations about rides and especially a response to my traditional Easter greeting: He is Risen!!!!!!!!

The Saga is Complete. Well, not really.

Actually a new saga has pushed it's way (rather beginning) onto special edition dvd. The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe was released today making cinematic history. Or maybe making ye old BBC version mesh with history. We went to Wal-Mart with much anticipation. Usually there's a display of new movies at the front of the store. Sure enough. However, all that I saw was the regular dvd and some Wal-Mart special including a book or something. No special edition. I then went back to the electronics and found what I was looking for. It was a lot more expensive but it was like five times better than the pansy version. The pansy version had four special features: two commentaries and some bloopers and some trivia. The special edition dvd had a whole nother (like how I worked that in there) disc with special features. Not to even mention the fact that compared to the Special Edition, the pansy version just looked, physical appearance this time, like junk. Needless to say, I'm excited. If any of you have not yet seen The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, you should see it.
Besides that, the only really cool thing that has happened is the fact that Mom's home from Valwood's 50th anniversary shindig. Pretty much just school. To give you something to say on your comment, (for those of you who have seen it) who was your favorite character or what was your favorite part of the movie. For those of you who haven't seen it, why not?
