Today

Today I saw Inception with Caroline and Hannah. I really liked it. It made me actually have to think, which I really appreciated. I think Joseph Gordon Levitt is probably the best/ most under-rated actor of my generation...and he's a dreamboat. Leonardo DiCaprio looks so much more manly than he did in Titanic. His babyface is all but gone. I think he's still really good looking (I actually prefer him now) just a lot more rugged. It's like the Matt Damon syndrome.

I really enjoy spending time with my friends. I am going to be really sad when Caroline goes to Germany. I won't get to see her for an entire year which is really going to suck. But at least I'll have Hannah and Katrina and everyone else to drive insane.

Oh, Comic-con was lots of fun. The time just flies by when I'm there. The Mythbusters panel is always amazing and I saw the best Jamie cosplayer of all time. I almost thought it was him.

I've been sleeping a lot recently. Mainly because i'm trying to catch up on my missed sleep from Comic-con. I watched all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies with my mom which was really nice. I had forgotten most everything that had happened in the last two. I thoroughly enjoy the last one even though it has its flaws.

So, that's all for now. I really can't think of anything else. I'm discussing Inception with Hannah and Darrell now. It's fun. Talk at ya later.

Hello Friends

So, i've decided to start blogging. It just seems like a fun thing to do and a nice way to help remember things.

Today was the first day of Comic-Con. I went with my friends Hannah and Kaitlin and it was absolutely amazing. We left for San Diego at 4:29 am and got there at 6:52 which according to Hannah was really fast. We waited in line for Hall H and actually got pretty good seats. The first panel of the day was Megamind, which was a lot more enjoyable then I thought it would be. Will Ferrell was funny as always and Jonah Hill and Tina Fey were cool too. I was really pleasantly surprised by that panel which was a nice way to start the day, even though this is the 3rd Comic-con I have been sick for (i'm 3 for 3). After that was the main reason we went, the Tron Legacy Panel.

Tron Legacy is going to be so freaking epic. The footage is amazing, the cast is amazing, and I am just super stoked. Garrett Hedlund was there and was a total dreamboat. Michael Sheen was his delightfully funny self, and my hero, Jeff Bridges, just stole the entire freaking panel. That man is just amazing. He seems so genuinely nice and I really want to be friends with him. He always just has such a positive attitude about things. The new trailer for it was mindblowing. Seeing 35 year old Jeff Bridges acting against 62 year old Jeff Bridges is one of the trippiest things i've ever seen.. Plus Olivia Wilde looks awesome as Quorra and Garrett Hedlund us just amazing as always (i'm a little biased).

After that we saw Angelina Jolie for Salt, who is just too stunning for words and so smart and eloquent and genuinely nice. She somehow managed to make me love her more and Liev Schreiber was just really charismatic and funny. Besides that we saw Bruce Willis (another personal hero) and Helen Mirren and so many more. Guillermo Del Toro announced he was doing the Haunted Mansion movie which is crazy awesome and Joss Whedon officially announced that he is doing the Avengers movie!!!!

Joss+the Avengers=crazy awesome. Joss did a panel with J.J. Abrams which was just so funny and totally nerdtastic. They played off each other so well and were just up to talking about anything. I never realized how funny J.J. Abrams was but it made me appreciate him even more. Joss was just Joss which is always great thing.

Overall it was a really great day, even though it took 5+ hours to get home and we got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic and got a flat. Plus we didn't finish our costumes yet, which I really don't mind because they are going to be beautiful (thanks so much Bonnie!!!) I'm really looking forward to the Big Bang panel tomorrow and a whole bunch of other stuff. I'm sad we're missing Super but sacrifices had to be made.

I'll update on tomorrows adventures later, even though this is pretty much just for me.
