X-mas!

So yesterday was quite the day. We went to Disneyland which was a dumb idea. I had no idea that was their busiest day of the year. I was told this when I was told that the park had sold out. That's a scary thing to know, if you've ever been to Disneyland. So Wes, Charlie's son, wanted to go to the Haunted Mansion. Being X-mas, they did it up like the "Nightmare Before Christmas." It was so dumb. They had all these X-mas carols that were changed to "scary" things. Like "Silent Night" was changed to "Silent Fright." It was way dumb. The ride was no different. I felt really ripped off. Even the end where they have the, "And finally as you enter the hall of mirrors, you may realize that you are not riding alone. For you see, I am riding with you," and there's a ghost next to you. They had this stupid floating gift with a bat on it, or something very stupid.

We should've went to "Pirates of the Caribbean" next, but we opted to go all the way across the park, through fucking tourists with digital cameras, stopping right in the middle of traffic to take a picture. And they all take like five minutes to set it up to take the shot. It's fucking digital. You have like eight million shots available. Also, step off to the fucking side.

We stayed in line at Space Mountain for nearly two hours. My back was killing me. Jeanne had to leave because she couldn't take it, especially since Wes was being whiney and irritating, so she took Wes and went back to the hotel. Then Jeanne called to say she wanted to leave early to go home before work. In all, Joe and I went on four rides. Good thing I didn't pay for my pass. Even if I did, I wanted to leave. I can't handle being around that many people. I wanted to kill everyone.

So after I dropped Jeanne at work, I met up with my brother and sister-in-law and their friends Cathy and Kevin. They were watching "Memoirs of a Geisha." Apparently Kevin's cousin does make-up and did it for that movie. So they give you a copy of the movie and every once in a while, the bottom says, "For Your Consideration." They give these to the people who vote for the Academy Awards. I would like to think that if you're watching a movie to judge, you would watch it in the theater. Great sound, picture, and no distractions like the phone, street noises, or whatever else. I don't think that they'll win for make-up. All they did was make their face white and put on lipstick. Aside from that, Chad, Joe, and I were just making jokes throughout the movie. It was non-stop. This movie is ridiculous. It was awesome watching Chinese people play Japanese people living in Japan and speaking English. It should probably go up for "Best Comedy." Or "Worst Attempt at Trying to Be an Independent Film."
