Transforming like Optimus


From this poster alone you can tell what the best part of the movie was. The fact that Megan Fox is bigger than two of the most important characters in the movie is hilarious. She is definitely hot but when she used her girly voice that just got annoying. I enjoyed this movie so much that I saw it twice. Well actually after the first time seeing it I kind of had a headache from squinting so much to figure out which bot was fighting which. Plus all the complicated talk about bot history went right over my head. The second time around I was able to understand a bit more what they were talking about and enjoy Megan & Shia's physical greatness.

For those who didn't like Transformers 2 you probably had to0 high of expectations. This is a movie based on a cartoon, what can you really expect. Yes the first one was amazing but that's because they hadn't done anything like it yet. With movies like this it's important to go in with the mindset that all you expect is explosions and hot actors. If you expect anything more you're bound to be disappointed. There's rumor of a third movie, can't wait!

AK is my new home


So I made it to Sitka. The trip was very long to get here. First I had to drive more than 900 miles, which took about 16 hrs. Was going to sleep in my car but after 16hrs that was the last place I wanted to be. Spent 113 Canadian dollars to be able to sleep in a bed and take a shower. Next morning I got some food then headed to the ferry.


Got on the ferry and made sure to have plenty of entertainment. They played a movie and the cafeteria was as expensive as getting food on the moon. Set up camp on a lawn chair on the top deck. It was actually pretty warm and comfy for the circumstances. So a day and 6hrs (just on the ferry alone) later I finally make it to Sitka. Of course it was raining... Dad was awake and just talked to him for a bit before crashing.

Right now I've been visiting with the grandparents and Eli. It'll probably be the last week for a very long time that I won't be doing something. I have an interview with SEARHC on monday for the counselor job. I hope I get it!

Talk about a break

Wow so it's been forever since I've posted. Not like anyone's reading this anyways haha. Lots has been happening which I can't even begin to describe on here. I know what's happened and that's all that matters. There's going to be a long break again since I'll be moving to AK!

Movie updates:
Angels & Demons- Pretty good, glad I read the book. Learn alot in a short period of time about history with religion and science. Not as good as Da Vinci Code.

Terminator Salvation- So amazing I saw it twice! I love the old Terminator movies so it wasn't hard for me to get into this movie. Loved the nonstop action and destruction. There was just enough of a plot/story for it to keep your attention in that category.

Star Trek- Not my favorite. I don't really know anything about the past Star Trek movies or shows so it was difficult for me to follow. I felt the dialogue was too much for my brain to handle haha. I liked the visuals and the action scenes, but there were not enough of them from what the commercial showed. Everything that was in the commercials was the best parts of the movie, sooo basically 30 seconds of it? Everyone else liked it so I guess I'll have to see it again.

The Hangover- Exactly what I expected and then some. Tons of ridiculous, unlikely occurences. It reminded me of my Vegas trips only 100x more crazy, I guess I've been going with the wrong people. There were plenty of one liners to keep me laughing and I didn't feel disappointed. Made me pumped to go again.
