I was really excited to see Up this summer season. I haven’t seen all the Pixar movies, but I have yet to be done wrong by one. None of the remaining dumbed down action movies sound exciting to me, so I thought it’d be a nice change of pace for the summer too. I made [ Read More ]

I’ve been excited to see this movie since I saw Carlos Cauron interviewed at the 2008 NALIP conference last March. I’m a big fan of Carlos: he co-wrote Y tu mama tambien with his brother, Alfonso. He’s written a few scripts but this was his feature debut in directing. The film also had two of [ Read More ]
I realized (okay, I was told) that I hadn’t made a single mention of the first Doctor Who special of the year. This is very poor on my part, considering how many times I watched the one minute trailer and how excited I was in general. It came out on Easter weekend and I watched [ Read More ]
I made it back from a fun filled weekend in San Diego alive and with all my limbs still attached on Sunday so I was happy. After 3 days filled with entertainment, I was exhausted.

But I really was excited for Star Trek. I grew up on Star Trek: The Next Generation. After watching Reading Rainbow when I [ Read More ]
I wanted to write a post about this right after I got back from Phoenix in March, but it was way too busy at the time and things haven’t settled down until now. I went to see the show, Rent, with my mom, brother, and sister on my last night in town before heading back [ Read More ]
We woke up early on day 5 since we had crashed before 9pm the night before. It was nice to take in the view from the back porch and front porch of our little bungalo before leaving. We didn’t have much free time since it was a travel day back to San Jose, but we [ Read More ]
Day 4 in Costa Rica felt almost like 2 days because of how it was broken up. We woke up, packed up our things, went and had breakfast, and said goodbyes to people who were leaving. A large group of us planned to drive up to La Fortuna, next to the Arenal Volcano. Janiva didn’t [ Read More ]
