My Last Week in the Valley

As you can see from the title, this is my last week in the Imperial Valley before I move back up to Northridge to go back to school (Cal State Northridge). Many things have happened, I've started to pack, spent some time with the family. I've tried to enjoy my last few days of "freedom" before I am sucked back into college life and studying.

Friday was the "get-together" with the Triple C Threat at Fernando's house. My Friends Henry, Omar, Chris, Carrie, myself, and very soon Fernando will be leaving to college. Hot Dogs, Video Games, Looking at the stars and Singing Disney Songs, that sums up the night pretty much!

Playing Rock Band!

This past weekend I went to Mexicali, Mexico to visit family. It was my cousin Andres' birthday celebration. We had cake, it was fun. Happy Birthday Andres!

Saturday The Chargers lost, BUMMER! But it is the pre-season and I know we will win! GO CHARGERS!

Yesterday I went to the movies and saw "District 9." I can honestly say it was a different film, nothing I was expecting. It is also the kind of film you have to see twice, not because you don't get it the first time, but to really appreciate every aspect of the film. I recommend it.

Anyway, continuing with my last week here, things are getting a little "weird" at home. The parents know that the day is almost near. I thought that by now things would have sinked in but, I will always be their baby!

The highlight of the week, so far, has been that I finally got my little nephew Diego on video. That little three year old devil sings, you can barely understand him but he is ADORABLE. I feel accomplished because I finally caught him. I edited the video, added captions and here's Diego's debut on the world wide web!

I hope you enjoyed reading and watching as much as I enjoyed writing.

P.S. I want to dedicate this blog post to my doggie! "Morena." She was a 13 year old German Shepherd whom was loved and will be greatly missed. She left us on Sunday, August 1st, 2009.

Until next time,

Adieu.

Happy Birthday!

A day like today, but in 1969, The Haunted Mansion opened to public at the Disneyland Resort in New Orleans Square. To this day, this spooky place is the home of 999 ghosts, but there's room for a thousand. Any volunteers?
Phineas, Ezra, and Gus are still the hitchhiking ghosts waiting for a ride and the Grim Grinning Ghosts still come out to socialize!
As part of the Disney Magic and having scared me so much when I was 5, I want to wish the Haunted Mansion and its 999 residents a very Haunted and Spooky Birthday!

Any Volunteers?

Adaptation

It has been a month since I last wrote on this blog. I've had quite a month. I went to Comic-Con 2009 and had the opportunity to see Tim Burton, Robert Zemeckis and Johnny Depp. It was quite an exciting stay at San Diego.
In three weeks I shall be back at Northridge to continue school. I will be audition for a play this semester (wish me luck) entitled "Six Characters in Search of an Author." In the mean time, I am continuing on my reading. Just finished Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" to begin reading "Playwriting: How to Write for the Theater" by Bernard Grebanier. My plan is to write an adaptation of Carroll's work, not because a Burton's film is underway, but because from all adaptations for the stage of "Alice" most, if not all, lack much of Carroll's essence. I am still debating whether the play should be comedy, a bit more dramatic, or a Musical, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
In short, I am quite busy at the moment, trying to keep up with the reading and all the work I give myself. In three more weeks my summer is over and I start a new semester.

Until the next time,

adieu.
