trains, pineapple express and the olympics
so for this week im in LA with my aunt.
i love my aunt, but there really isnt much to do around here, its WAY TOO HOT, and my best friend is actually in town this week, but my mom decided to send me off to southern cali for a week and a half
so my grandma took me down here on a train.
WHICH IS NOW MY FAVORITE WAY OF TRAVELING, DANKS VAIR MUCH
and the ride down here was pretty uneventful. we had this little compartment in the sleeper car and the seats folded out into a bunk and there was another bunk on top. for most of the ride i was up on the top bunk writing on my laptop, since wifi wont be available on trains until next year. grrrrr.... and for both meals we had on the train (lunch and dinner) we sat with the same two people, a war vet and his son. they were both very nice people. the son was a year younger than i am, so hes just going into high school. and his dad had been injured in whatever war he was in, OH IT WAS DESERT STORM, and his back was all screwy so he walked with a cane. they were really cool.
but the other night when my aunt uncle and i went to see pineapple express (reveiw later) my grandma called me. we had dropped her off at the train station earlier in the day, and she was on her way home. so she leaves me a message, and when i get out of the movie i check my messages. she thanks us for helping her onto the train, tells me to tell kali (my aunt) thats he had a great time, and oh, her train HIT and KILLED someone.
i just stopped walking and nearly dropped my phone.
Kali and Dan (uncle) turn around and ask em what happened, and when i tell them, kali starts flipping out. she was very entertaining.
so we make some calls to the family back home and make sure they all know what happened, and then we go home and watch the olympics.
SPEAKING OF OLYMPICS
holy crud, the opening ceremonies were amazing!omfg!
who else thought that the little blue boxes were being run on hydraulics or something?
i totally didnt see the people coming! my uncle and i were trying to see what was on the bottom when they all stood up, but from what i could see it looked like a piston or something!
and i heard that the drummers were told to smile more because they looked too intimidating.
and omg, the opening ceremonies outfits...AGH!!!
GO DIE INNA HOLE, RALPH LAUREN!
ewewewew!
they were just walking spokespeople for the polo brand. yuck.
ok, pineapple express was frikkin hilarious. so many quotable lines, OMG! i laughed so hard i almost fell off my seat.
THE SEATS!
the seats were these big plushy leather things!
AND THE THEATRE HAD RESERVED SEATING!
what theatres have reserved seating for movies nowadays?!?
funniest movie ive seen all summer. that thing better get an award. i love seth rogen.
well my children, this is me signing out.
ill keep you updated on the LA escapdes as they happen!
