Not too much to report for as of late. Seen plenty of my laura since last update, and that's good. My cousin, Sebastian, visted last week, so I spent some time with him, seeing as he's going to be sent to Iraq soon. On monday I ventured with him and my sisters to Universal Studios, and did all the new craip they have put in since I went for the Rose Parade. I don't feel like writing full reviews now so here's my opinions of them in a nutshell: Van Helsing:Fortress Dracula- a walkthrough haunted attraction that's mildly scary and will only be appreciated by people who liked the movie; The Revenge of the Mummy- An indoor rollercoaster that could've rivaled Space Mountain had it been at least a minute longer (far too short); Shrek 4D - Suprisingly very, very entertaining, with both the full length films' amount of obscene humor and stabs at disney crammed into 15 minutes (a must see); Spiderman Rocks! - A strange version of Spiderman presented in a rock opera type fashion, with very little actual rock music. You almost feel embarrassed being in the theater, especially during parts like when the green goblin sings "She Bangs" to Mary Jane while flying on his glider. Skip this show.
The day went by pretty well, with less tension between Seb and I as there usually is. Jamba Juice happened there also. Tuesday night I went to the DCI show at qualcomm stadium. I drove Lona, John, and Tye up there, and then split from them at the show to meet up with Laura. The night could/should have been a lot better, but it was still entertaining to watch the shows (first time I had seen any of this season's shows), and I'm glad I got to see Laura. I drove back with the same people I drove up with, and ate at ihop before going home. Wednesday, thursday, and today were mainly uneventful. I bought stuff for school, including my books, and yesterday I saw collateral. Tom Cruise makes an amazing villain type character. Go see the movie, even if only just to see Tom Cruise as a hitman.
I got about a week left before I start classes. I start earlier than most of my friends who are going away because I have a month off school in the winter, so I'm probably going to try to see them more in the coming weeks. And uhh. I'm out of stuff say. Here's a quote from the Shrek 4d show.

"Welcome to Duloc, The Happiest Totalitarian Dictatorship on Earth
(Well... second happiest)
Be sure to visit Duloc's Fairy Tale Adventure! 74 gift shops, and one ride."
Bye.
