Welcome to another lovely day here in sunny california! So MANY things going on! WHEEEEEE!!!

ShadowCatt-X and I went to saw some movies this week. We went to DragonWars and Resident Evil: Apocalypse! I'll review the best of the two first!

Resident Evil: Apocalypse was a fun movie with lots of explosions, martial arts, and zombies... which are all good things.. however I never felt that Alice was in any real danger (unlike the first two movies.) Also, it sort of felt like a movie built to show how characters you liked would die if they had to die and most of the plot was to show why they died they way they did.

Still, lots of zombies! MMmmmmmm.. ZOOmmmmbbiieeess... *giggle*

Now, on to DragonWars! This is the worse of the two films. Visually, the movie is stunning! The dragons are BEAUTIFULL and the action is mixed with CGI with a masters touch! However, it is a movie better read than listenned to! *giggle* Of course, if you have a girlfriend on your arm whispering snarky comments in your ear about the acting and writing then it makes the movie MUCH better.. trust me! This is a movie best enjoyed at home with friends so everyone can pay as much (or as little) attention as they want while making silly comments. The whole movie became worth it when you get to see a full Eastern dragon! OOooo! It is SO pretty!!!

So, those were the fun things that we were up to this week.. or WAS it? MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

My Car got fixed on Friday, so on Sunday it was time for a ROAD TRIP!!! We drove over to Fresno, a nice little 2.5 hour drive, to test things out. There we visitted their underground gardens. It seems that, just after the depression, a man decided it was cooler under ground than above ground in Fresno... so he dug a cellar to stay cool in. Then he dug a second chamber. Then he made another chamber and tried growing a tree in it. Then if one tree would grow, maybe a dozen would grow. Eventually he had an underground garden! Admission is $12 for adults and they don't take plastic. For your money you get a nice tour of the remaining chambers. Sadly, much of the gardens were destroyed by developpers who wanted the land it was on. They had some ins with the city and managed to go to court and get much of the 70 acres of land.

The underground gardens website is at http://www.undergroundgardens.com/ , but is under construction.
