Facebook isn't as effective or personal as I would like it to be. It makes my myriad thoughts and ideas too. . .mashed potatoes. And by mashed potatoes I mean. . .non-original and whatever. And even if what I write here isn't quite as quirky and full of hilarity as I would like it, it is dedicated to things that I freakin love and thus:
1. http://www.weddingchicks.com/wedding-chicks/engagement-sessions/37401/disney-pixars-up-engagement-shoot/ You guys. I seriously love Up. Okay, no, actually that's sort of a lie, as I only watch the first 15 minutes of it--up until Carl wakes up an old man and alone. Words cannot even describe how amazing those first 15 minutes are. Imagine a tiny little colorful bakery hidden in a corner of the most picturesque city block. Now take that feeling you feel and bottle it up and shake some romance into it. And then release it. And now you have the first 15 minutes of up. The wonderful cotton candy and springtime coloring. The waltzy, theme-and-variation, old time-y music. The lack of words. The prominence of feeling, the times of emotional sadness and hope. It's how I would love for my life to even begin to resemble. It's beautiful. And these people took wedding pictures based off of it. Props. Mass props. Mass mass mass props. In other news, I kind of hate the rest of the movie--it's so simple and meaning-less, just a few dumb jokes here and there to entice the youngins. I understand it's a kids' movie, get off my butt, stfu.
In other weird news, the balloons in Up really get to me--I think that they are so incredibly amazing (if you have the movie, watch how the animators show the light shining through the balloons onto the walls of apartment buildings--incredible). They've made it in a few of my dreams. And I just wish it was true.
Bunches of balloons just embody the spirit of carefree frolicking, something I think I'm becoming more drawn to as my kid years come to an end.
