Seasons of Love, Measured in Cake, with Eliza

she's got a look that books take pages to tell.

There is a Wild Thing within us all.

                We have all heard the classic story. We have all fallen in loved with the characters, the art, the plot, and the wonders of it. But now there is more to enjoy. I absolutely loved the new movie "Where the Wild Things Are."

My favorite part was the cute kid who played Max. He had a sweet face and an even sweeter personality that was displayed largely through he character in the film. You just fell in love with him from the moment he appeared on the screen.

The music was so fun and delightful throughout the film. I liked it so much I am going to make an effort to purchase all of the songs.

Costumes for this film were exquisite. Even the extra unique details to Max's pajamas were perfect. The Wild Things looked amazingly real.

I would high;y recommend this movie to anyone. Absolutely Anyone. 

Celebrate with me People!

I am one of your new Take Five Directors!!

Picture of the Post:

Have you ever noticed, while you are sitting in class, boredom pouring into your brains while you work on a problem, that when the bell goes off to go exit- everyone (or nearly everyone) looks up? Why is this? It bugs me, its like an instant que. Bell. Head Up. Bell Head Up. Its like we are all waiting for some message to come from the ceiling or that the roof above us with simultaneously collapse on our heads.

Shakespeare. He wrote in a whole different language. He was brilliant. He was insane. And He hated women. And I spent a whole weekend with him. For the dramatics department of East High School we went down to Cedar City to the Shakespearian Competition. Now I have never been to a camp or school trip that entitled me to sleep elsewhere then my own home. This trip was exhilarating, educational, and so much fun! We left Thursday at 12:00 p.m., promptly after failing a chemistry test, on a large school bus with East High School labeled across the side of the giant yellow canvas.

• I sat with miss Eliza (Leeeeza) on the bus- which was quite an adventure on its own.
• We stayed at the Best Western right on the campus.
• Our room was 251 : )
• My roomates where: Amy, Eliza, and Laura (best group ever)

That night we went to see an amazing edition of MacBeth. I have never seen Shakespeare performed like this before. The costumes and make up resembled that of of a punk rock goth theme that I personally thought added to the scene. Although it was freezing in the outside theater- the play was a delight to watch.

• The hot tub had too much chlorine in it and made your eyes hurt and your throat choke just being down in the basement next to it.

If you ever get the chance to see a play while down in Cedar City I would suggest The Complete Works of Shakespeare. This had to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Three (cute) men doing all of Shakespeare's work in 97 minutes!

East did a good job over all, walking away with three tech awards, and the feeling of relief. I can't wait to go back next year.

But I do think that all of us are suffering from a Shakespearian Hangover. : )

Hey Baby, How you doin?

Have you ever tried sleeping on a train? It is not as easy as one may think. First, you have to realize that there is someone next to you, so lounging all over is a little out of the question. You have to position your pillow correctly, if your lucky the person next to you will let you use them or maybe you have a window to lean up against. A helper in a good sleep on a train would be discovering the foot rest. It is usually located underneath your seat. This gives you extra leg support so you dont get sore feet. And finally you need to choose the right sleeping music. For me this was the new Mika album or my new found favorite Kate Nash. After all this preparation you are allowed to put your head down and try to catch some zzz's.

I had to learn this process the hard way this weekend when my family decided to take a surprise trip to Glenwood Springs Colorado. Traveling there by train was a new, exciting experience. I had never been in a train, let alone a moving train. It was quite relaxing and filled with beautiful views.

On the train it amazes me how all these different people can come together and the conversations shared at joined tables for dinner. I know my sister is laughing at me saying this because she just does not understand how interesting people are. We all have our stories, our back grounds, our lives that make us, us, and how we can all come together with a common purpose- the fact that we are all stuck on a train that if we tried to get off... we would die.

Glenwood Springs does not have 'springs' in the title because it sounds good or because it was discovered in the spring time, it is named this for the warming natural hot pools of sulfur filled water that they have made into nice swimming environments for me when I visit. It was absolutely relaxing and amazingly amazing! I had such a blast. The town its self is like a hippy party with medical marijuana every few blocks, super sandwiches, good coffee shops, scary old women selling their dead husbands old stuff including dolls with wicked eyes, shops that smell like dead people (not that I have actually smelt a dead person but that is what I imagine it to be,) secret stairs that lead to amazing views, and a 7-11 clear up the street.

I had a wonderful vacation and would recommend it to anyone.
