where would all the valley girls go to hang out?

i've had this Phantom Planet song stuck in my head since yesterday afternoon. The Galleria. i think i've only heard the song like, once or twice in my whole life. and then i randomly got it stuck in my head and i have no idea why. and then i downloaded it last night and can't stop listening to it. it's crazymaking.

anyways. everyone is my house right now is taking a nap. save for me. so, i figured i would talk to you.

i went out this afternoon with people i used to work with. meg. amy. kara g. jen. it was very fun to see them all. it had been like, a year since i hung out with them all. i remember because it was last thanksgiving. we went out for lunch. it was so nice to catch up.

and then tonight!!!! oh tonight. sweet tonight. me. andrew. kara. kara's boyfriend. are going to see Fantastic Mr. Fox. i'm pretty freaking excited if you can believe it. i'm meeting up with andrew beforehand to hang out. looking forward to that as well!!!!!! it's a day of people i haven't seen in forever. it's a nice day.

thanksgiving here was good. i did all the cooking the night before so all i had to do was put things in the oven. it is a lot less stressful. everybody seemed to really like the food. i didn't eat very much of it because i didn't really like it. i don't like big dinners like that.

i hope you all had a great thanksgiving!!

we watched Nancy Drew last night. the new one with Emma Roberts. it was eh, okay. not enough mystery. too much other stuff. BUT. they had an advertisment for the Nancy Drew soundtrack at the beginning of the dvd. and they named a couple bands, whatever. and then as soon as the credits start to roll, a ROONEY song starts to play!!! and we were all shocked! they didn't mention them in the beginning! like, what? it was When Did Your Heart Go Missing. um, hello, great song! so, this is an addendum to the soundtrack advertisment at the beginning of Nancy Drew - ROONEY. there's a Rooney song too.

the other night we watched Angels and Demons. the one where Tom Hanks has normal length hair. also with Ewan McGregor and Stellan Skarsgard. how could so many hotties be in one movie???? it was insane at parts.

but, i really liked the movie. i have not read any Dan Brown books. although i hear he is not a very good writer, i really appreciate his research. or, his research assisstants. but Dan Brown lives right near here. so, there's that.

anyways. i thought i was not going to understand anything about this movie. like my experience with the Bourne films and the Ocean's Eleven films. but, i thought it was super enjoyable. really interesting and action packed. it was like National Treasure, but in the Vatican.

and then last night i also watched this Japanese film on netflix. about a guy who moves into this apartment with a really thin wall, and he can hear everything going on next door. and he becomes obsessed with the woman living there and starts to super stalk her. some parts were creepy. but, he really seemed like a nice guy, so that balanced it out. and then in the end, they start dating. and it was really interesting because there were two different actresses who played the girl next door. and the first one was what he imagined her to look like, and then once he actually saw her, the actress changed. same with her apartment. at first it was all pink and fuzzy and super girly. but then he actually saw it, and it completely changed to what it actually was. at first i was confused. but then was totally amazed.

but, i think Fantastic Mr. Fox will take the cake. i'm hyping it up so much it's crazy. i'm really excited to hang out with Andrew.

hm. okay. i can't think of anything else right now. i might go downstairs and heat up some cider. it's so insanely cold in my house i can't believe it. my nose is constantly freezing and my hands are so cold it's hard to type. and i'm wearing a flannel shirt with a wool cardigan over it.

ok now. i hope you all are having a great saturday night. and a great thanksgiving weekend. i'll be back to work tomorrow night. i knew this week would fly. i'm sad about that.

alright! of course i'll let you know about Mr. Fox. and i'll talk to you later! take care, everybody!


i'm gonna miss the galleria
it was the only place to go this side of town
goodbye to the galleria
i just heard today they're gonna knock it down
