Mindless Drivel at Its Worst

Ah, the life of an islander.  Our fair city has another Ernest Hemingway look-a-like winner, the weather is hot hot hot, and the time for school starts to hurtle towards us.  With just over a month left until school begins again, Iris and Samantha begin to start doing all things fun before the tidal wave of essays and studying sweep away all of our free time.  *Sigh*  Iris is spending her time enjoying the rest and relaxation that summer vacation brings, while Samantha spends her time cleaning for the ridiculous amount of guests she is to expect in the coming weeks.  Personally, I envy Iris.  Lucky Duck.  Ah, well, nothing can be done for that.  All I can do is look forward to seeing Toy Story with the madre and Iris.  Iris and I have always been avid kid movie fans, and this summer has provided us with a plethora of new movies to enjoy.
Just recently, she and I went to see the wonderful, fantabulous, hilarious "Despicable Me" which may be one of my new all-time favorite children movies.  The characters are great, the effects are great, and Iris and I were laughing so hard, I nearly sprayed the toddler in front of me with Coca-Cola through the nose. Nearly.  In between the "IT'S SO FLUFFY"ness and the toilet-brush unicorn, Iris and I had enough material for about 80 inside jokes that left the parental units with a vast amount of questions about our sanity.
If you have not seen "Despicable Me", both of us highly recommend it, whether you are 4, 40, or 94.  Tis a fabulous bit of comedy, and well worth the exorbitant prices they charge us nowadays to see films in the theatre.
Well, yet again I have put off my assignment until the night before class, so I must go write for the professor, instead of regaling you, our small following, with tales of scary man-voiced women and turning Sense & Sensibility into something senseless.  Until next time, dear readers.
Ciao.
