Even though it was a nice day out, we decided to go to the movies yesterday. The girls were not interested at all in going to the beach. The nice thing about going to a Pixar movie is that you know it will have heart. Even the worse ones are a whole lot better then any other cartoon out there.
One can not say that about Cars 2. It was not very good. I guess that is not fair, it was not very good for a Pixar movie. With out question, it was not worth going to it and I think that the other families there thought the same. The ONLY reason this movie was made is to sell more toys and direct to DVD movies. I am very disappointed.
Though it did have one MAJOR highlight (so much so that I think that I might need the toy of). Bruce Campbell was on of the voices. He was the one highlight in the whole film.

Toy Story 3 and Curious George
Every Friday night we have cozy night. We watch a movie, have popcorn and smoothie. Friday night we finally watched Toy Story 3. The movie was good. If my sister would not have told me what to expect, I totally would have been crying. So many things were wrong with the movie, though probably wrong in a right way. First of all, what parents makes their kids empty the kids bedroom before they leave for university. Nothing says come home for the holidays then a room that does not feel like home (my sister would argue that my room at the folks house has not changed since I was in high school).
When we were in Texas over the Christmas holidays, I finally found my Curious George stuffed animal from when I was 3. He was in a box in the back of a storage building. Of course he came home with me. The girls thought that it was pretty cool when they saw him. I was really happy about finding him. Friends and family from when I was younger will remember him, he went everywhere with me.
Yes, I had to give him a hug when the movie was done.

The Final Trip
Have you heard about this? Apparently it is now popular to dump your ashes (and I am not talking about cigarette ashes) on the different rides at the Disney Park. At first it was just the Haunted Mansion that it was done at, but now it is popular on the other rides as well. A couple of weeks ago Disneyland closed Pirates of the Caribbean ride due to the fact that they saw a women pour something into the water on the ride. Now she says that it was just baby powder, but who really believes that.
So which rides would be the best to have your ashes placed? Here are my three picks:
3) Haunted Mansion- OK, so it has been done before. I am sure all the rides have had ashes poured in them. Though if you believe in ghosts, then maybe your life ever after will be with all the ghosts there. Plus, your love ones can come back and at the very least say that they saw your ghost.
2) Space Mountain- Scotty in Star Trek had his ashes shot into space, but not everyone one can afford that. Space Mountain is a cheap alternative (well, given the prices of the Disney Parks these days, maybe not).
1) It's a Small World- For a traveler this would be the perfect spot. Think about it, you get all the countries at one time. OK, you would have to listen to that annoying song for all eternity, but for every country/continent it might be worth it!
Here is the story if you want to read it for yourself:
