GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Monday, Jul 7, 2008

I guess it's been a while since I've typed anything on here, so I suppose it's time for an update. My partner Matthew's family came to visit this past weekend for the 4th of July, and I must say that it was a great time overall. Matthew's brother Jason is hilarious (just like Matthew - it must run in the family), so there were a lot of jokes being told. lol Their daughter Kristen is just adorable too. Matthew's mom and I met for the first time as well, which was kind of a big deal since last year she didn't really approve of Matthew's relationship with me. But I guess she's come around since then because she and I had some fabulous talks this weekend. So, all is well in that area. lol Although I knew it wouldn't be a problem anyway.

Friday afternoon we all went to see the movie Wall-E (the new one from Pixar). I must say it was very entertaining and rather funny in parts - not quite what I expected from what I saw in the previews, which is a good thing I suppose. Matthew's daughter Abby wanted to see it badly, so we all thought it would be a good idea. Needless to say, we all enjoyed it. If you haven't seen the movie, I won't give away what it's about, but all I'll say is that the message clearly criticizes "human overdependency on technology."

Next Wednesday the 16th comes season 5 of Project Runway, yay! I am very excited, as I really got into the show after season 3 ended (thank you for the reruns, Bravo!). Season 4 had a high level of talent, even too much considering the pre-established careers of some of the contestants, so I'm sure season 5 will be the same. Yes, I am glad that Christian won, although I still think Jillian should have been second instead of Rami. But Chris? Please..... Even though he's lovable and talented, his final collection reeked of creepy gothica. As for PR's move to Lifetime and the change in production, who knows? I guess I'll just wait and see. lol Although they'd better not change a damn thing!

Anyway, just wanted to write a quick update for everybody. Take it as you will.

Have a great day!

- Troy

Glad everything went well with meeting Matthew's mother. I hope she accepting. I'm skeptical about Wall-E. Although I won't go see it in theaters, I usually catch those movies when I go to babysit and love Finding Nemo and other cute tales. Wall-E just appears to lack the "Pixar" magic I've seen in the past. Love the icon! 'Tis the season! I CAN'T WAIT until the 16th! I liked Jillian last season...I also liked Allison from I think the season before that I believe got jipped when she was voted out. Hopefully the show won't take a turn for the worse when it goes to Lifetime...

Glad to hear that your weekend went well. Wall-E looks okay, but I might wait to rent it since no one else will go see it with me. Thanks for reminding me about PR. Last year I missed like half the season because i didn't know when it started, so I would like to watch the season in order this time

Thanks for the supportive comments you guys! I checked your blogs too so it was good to catch up on how things are. Megan - you're right about Wall-E being a little different type of Pixar this time around. Not as much action or fast motion maybe. I also hope PR doesn't go down the tubes after Lifetime - hopefully the new producers won't reinvent the wheel. lol And luckily I found the Heidi Klum icon here! Madison1314 - it'll be fun to catch PR from the beginning when everyone is new. Who did you like from last season? Grace87 and Ashley - glad things are well!
