To Disarm The Stars Within Us

I'm tired, sleepy and just out of it tonight so I can do nothing but his the haystacks early haha. Yesterday was a stupendous day, to say the least. America and I were pretty much passed out in laziness for a few hours before we walked over to the library so I could renew my books. In the process of looking for a bathroom, we ran into Clara, Gaby and Kim. We sat with them and had this hilarious conversation about how Tyler Perry movies essentially appeal to the black demographic and I couldn't help myself but push Kim's buttons in the conversation. I really missed that feeling of hanging out on campus and laughing like in past semesters. Upon finishing our mission on campus, we went back to being lazy and watched The Nightmare Before Christmas (just like last year). What was cool was that on the bonus features, we discovered that it also includes the Frankenweenie short. Following that we finally got around to trying Tom N Toms coffee in Koreatown. I still find it so strange that there are so many in such a small proximity. What was funny though, is that at the first one we went to, the expresso machine wasn't working. This resulted in fleeing to the other Tom N Toms coffee shop...across the street. Their frapps taste like every other one out there...like sugar haha. It was still good though, so no real worry there. The highlight was still easily celebrating America's birthday early by going to the midnight screening of Frankenweenie. We both acted like little kids going around and taking pictures here and there. The movie itself was spectacular and is way better than I would have thought. Tim Burton topped himself and created some of the most hilarious movie moments ever captured. To say the least, I really fell in love with the movie. The dark humor was too good, plus add in your signature awkward characters. Everything just fell in place. After the film, there was an exhibit with all these models used in the film plus a machine where you could build static electricity and make your hair raise like a mad scientist. Well, America got the GREAT idea of passing on the electricity to me while still using the machine. What made things worse is that I actually was up for it. When our fingers touched, this blue lightening bolt thingy came out between and besides the shock of the electricity passing from her to me, the bolt gave me a good scare. All in all, yesterday was definitely a good day.
