this evening deirdre hooked randall and us up with tickets to up (the movie). originally she and melissa were supposed to come with us, but dk couldn't get out of a meeting, and melissa was feeling sick.
well folks, it was their loss. i LOVED this film. it is my new favorite pixar film, and so much fun. and i loved how they weren't your typical heroes -- crazy old man, fat asian boy scout, talking dog, and a giant bird -- quirky in a good way, and never annoyingly so. sure the plot was ridiculous and has a couple of random holes in it, but the house with all the balloons looked incredible, and it is a cartoon folks! also it might have made me wellington... okay i confess it totally made me wellington. i could not believe how sweet and sad the beginning was, but we'll just leave it at that so that I don't ruin it for you. just go see it. it was fun and adorable. if you have kids and they want to see it, take them, it'll be worth your while. i mean come on folks, talking dogs! and not in an oh the dogs are randomly talking cartoon way!
while out i was hoping to stick deirdre's face on a balloon and set it on "up" but sadly, they didn't have any balloons for us. because of that, we had to make due. here's us with her in the theatre.
ps. sorry melissa, i couldn't get the printer to work, so wasn't able to print out a picture of you. also, dk got the tickets so well, you know...
