Had a nice day today! Tried to sleep in, didn't really work what with the fam being up at the crack of dawn cooking and making noise and the wild roosters outside crowing like there's no tomorrow. BUT. We checked out a big waterfall and went to a beach on the South shore, and then had lunch at a very slow but delicious restaurant. I had a drink called a Volcano, which is apparently a virgin Lava Flow, but it's like a pina colada with strawberry (and whipped cream). Yum! I think because our food was so slow we were being so weird, plus we were separated from all the other patrons at a table (versus the bar) so we really had nothing inhibiting our strangeness. Savannah took my fork and wore it "as a dinglehopper" in her hair, and all the servers actually guessed it without any of us saying anything. Lol. But we did tip well so I didn't feel as bad.

Then we came back and my mom and dad and I went to a music festival sort of thing, where they invited people to play and people in the audience took mini courses (sort of) and played along for the concert portion. It was really nice, I picked up a strumming technique (because my real teacher is clueless), and this kid was only 17 but a slack key genius, so that was pretty neat.

59 days! and my internet is dropping off like crazy. dangit. So, I can't really check my other entries, and I can't recall if I've said this one before, but I'm not sure I have so I'm going to anyway. The Indiana Jones franchise is the reason there is a PG-13 rating and not just PG. For Raiders they had to add the flame in front of Belloq's face exploding, and when Temple rolled around they felt it was too dark and the other rating came through.

Augh, I hope I'm recalling that all correctly, stupid lack of internet access.

Band gets down to Disney tomorrow... I'm so jealous... =P

Hi, I thought you might be interested in this link. I'm not sure what to make of it myself...

Yeah, he's been saying that repeatedly, I remember something similar in the Vanity Fair article. Basically saying that they made the movie to have fun, not to make what the fans wanted because you can't please everyone. It's both reassuring and making me nervous at the same time, soooo... only time will tell!
