Finding Gaby

Story Time- Back in 1994, I took a trip with my dad to Orlando. Through his job, he got tickets to a World Cup match. It was a match between the Netherlands and Ireland. I don't remember much of the match. It was hot, there were a lot of people, drums were being played, and at one point a giant banner was raised above our heads. I think it was Ireland's flag. But I know that my dad was having fun, and by proxy, I was too. Now the day before the match, we did something that I still remember today, and it is definitely in the top 5 favorite days of my life. My dad took me to MGM Studios (now Disney Hollywood Studios). And much like the soccer match, I don't have clear memories, but just snippets of feelings and images-  I remember seeing the Tower of Terror for the first time. It wasn't open yet, but they were running tests because I remember looking up and seeing the doors open and close on the 13th floor. I was one of those kids who LOVED the Twilight Zone, and t...

I clearly suck at this "posting once a day" deal, but I think I have an excuse? Summer classes started on Monday, and my life has been split between school and work. Seriously, my next day off isn't until the 24th. It's safe to say I'm busy. Busy working and busy studying, I'm determined to get the best grades possible, and with one week down and some grades already being recorded, I still have all A's. Other than that not much else has happened. OH, I KNOW! Here are some ramblings. So one of my biggest pet peeves is people thanking me for doing my job. I am a firm believer that a steady paycheck and a "Good job Gabs" is what anyone really needs in order to do their job, or at least that's what I like. I'm not one for constant "thank you's" like I'm doing you a favor for doing my job (that is unless you've asked me to do something outside of my responsibilities and then I do it and you say thanks, that is a dif...

Before I start, just want to make a quick note that I'm still listening to the Wonder Woman score on a loop. I have been since I got home to write yesterday's treatise, (seriously, I don't know whether to apologize or just laugh). So yeah, I'm liking the score, or maybe it's just the constant use of the theme. Anyways, tomorrow is the first day of school! YAY! I've lost count of how many of these "firsts" I've had, regardless, tomorrow is the first day of the last 8 weeks at my current school. Once that's done, it's on to who knows what. No seriously, I have no real idea what I'm doing after 8 weeks. Ok, well not really, or not entirely. I've got a few ideas, a couple things cooking, but nothing concrete. I'm just expecting myself to have to work harder and be stronger in order to survive whatever may come my way. So yeah, I have a biology class in the morning on campus, then about 5 mins to have lunch, then it's off to ...

First review and I'm not sure really where to start. Do I just completely fangirl out and just spend the next few paragraphs exclaiming how perfect this movie is, or do I take a more critical look at it and focus on the creation of the film as well as the social (and maybe political?) impact it is having? Or do I do some combination of both? Also how the heckles am I supposed to format this? Do I give you the readers a quick summary of the film, a list of the key players of who brought this film to life, and then delve into the good and bad of the film? I mean, that's how it's always been done, at least in every review I've ever read. Or do I just go where the words take me, and leave this as the incoherent ramblings of a fangirl who is trying to sound like she knows what's she's talking about in trying to sound overly critical? My style has always been a conversational one, albeit a one-sided conversation, so the latter choice it will be.  Good luck in f...
