Never written a flat out "vent" post but there is a first time for everything I suppose.Eleni and I just recently got back from a very fun trip to Los Angeles. The initial reason for going was a nostalgic one: giving my favorite theme park attraction, Star Tours, a proper sendoff before its upcoming update/renovation into a 3D pod-racing ride. Being a self-proclaimed Star Wars geek (and still reigning champion on Star Wars Trivial Pursuit) I think its safe to assume, dear reader, that I was quite fond of Star Tours. In a somewhat anti-climactic turn of events, Disneyland was saved for the very last full day of our trip. Furthermore, we saved this ride for last on our schedule. Well, why drag it out... this ride is total crap by today's standards and is in DIRE need of an overhaul. The real disappointment most obviously came from my high expectations. No worry, expectations adjusted. I'll always have The Mummy Returns: The Ride at Universal Studios (photo after the jump.)
The worst part, which dovetails nicely into the second part of this post, is that after exiting the lackluster Star Tours, Eleni turns to me and says "Well, at least we have The Last Airbender to look forward to when we get home." I think you can guess where this is going. I was so overwhelmingly upset with this movie that I won't even bother wasting screen space on it. In my humble opinion, it defies logic how this movie could be so damn bad. All I really want to say is "Please dont watch this, and please do watch the series." Ahhh what could have been. By the way, my favorite part of the trip (I think Eleni would concur) was the Getty Museum and the Getty Villa!

Dude, you should have seen it coming. Although nostalgia is a powerful thing. Remember how awesome the original Mario Kart was? It sucks. Sucks.
Either way, good to see you had a vacation. Today is my oficial start on Psych. Hopefully it won't be too rough.
Red Dead tonight? I have 99% btw, can't figure out what I have left.
