On Sunday, I went to Disneyland with my mom, dad, and brother. I actually can’t remember the last time all four of us went together as a family. All I know if that many things have changed and yet somethings have remained the same. For example, my dad went home after lunch…that’s the same. My mom actually rode and survived Space Mountain…that’s different. We bought churros…same. Johnny and I have to look out for our parents now…different.

The brother and I spent much of our day taking random photos throughout the park. I’m sure we looked like silly Japanese tourists but that’s how you improve your photog skillz, right? I played with the exposure compensation button, my aperture priority, and even dabbled in some long exposure shots. It was extemely overcast that day so lighting was really tricky.

Oh yeah, Disneyland gipped us royally by cancelling the fireworks show that we waited around for. It was due to high wind conditions. Oh Pahleez! With the ridiculous ticket prices, they should have developed technology that would turn off the wind by now. Heck, Disneyland should be placed in a little bubble with a switch to turn the sunshine on during the day and turn it off at night for the stinkin’ fireworks. I just wanted to see the 50th anniversary fireworks show…*sniff*

A few months ago, my dad was raving about a Thai movie that came out on DVD. He gave it to Jes to make a copy for him and we now have it on our hard drive downstairs. Last night we were browsing through our collection and rediscovered it. It’s called “Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior”. Jes seemed pretty pumped about it so I thought I’d watch and translate a bit of it for him. It turned out to be a movie with lots of muay Thai that was brutally awesome. The fight scenes seemed straight out of Street Fighter with super high flying kicks and a crazy elbow-on-the-top-of-the-head move that made me cringe each time I saw it. Supposedly they didn’t use any wires or CGI to produce the movie…pretty amazing. Ah…Thai people rock. I don’t know if they have a version with sub-titles but you really don’t need to know what their saying to appreciate the movie. It’s your basic good vs. evil with some silly sidekicks and a hero to cheer for. By the way, this Tony Jaa guy (main character) is ripped!
