Week 2 at Grandma’s

Yeah, no sleepin’ in today. Once again I found myself in Provo in the morning to help get Grandma’s old condo cleaned out. Brought my camera this time, got some decent pictures of creek and of the swimming pool for old times’ sake. There’s no longer a diving board there, but I used to love swimming here all the time when I was little. I may not ever swim there again… I suppose it’s not a huge deal since I’ve kinda grown out of it, but I’ll still miss it.

After that I met up with 행 and grabbed lunch at Sam Hawk (mmm.. 된장 찌개), then later in the day I managed to hook up with Schmidy to hang out for a bit, we ended up going to see Pirates of the Caribbean– great fun summertime flick, loved the music (I’ll be picking up the soundtrack on Tuesday when it comes out), Jonny Depp had the coolest character, Jack Sparrow. If you haven’t seen it it’s worth a watch– I’ll probably go see it again. I also enjoyed the movie because Pirates of the Caribbean was one of my favorite rides, if not my most favorite ride at Disney Land when I was little (it was my mom’s, too– we loved riding that one, it was so fun). So that just enhanced the movie a bit for me– there were a couple of references to the ride.

Geoffrey Rush played the main villain in Pirates and I couldn’t place where I had seen him before… Finally I got on IMDB and looked him up, he played Casanova Frankenstein on “Mystery Men”, hehehe… another great flick.

Perhaps since Disney’s cartoons are not faring so well they are resorting to making films of their amusement park rides… Marianne pointed out that they already did Country Bears, and one of the previews in Pirates was for “Haunted Mansion”. I guess we’ll see, huh.
