Toy Story Tuesday: Toy Story 2

Alright! Hope you guys are liking Toy Story Tuesday so far! This is the movie I feel like I watch the least out of all 3 movies... but it's still pretty important to shaping what Pixar is known for and it's just a great movie that I feel like I overlook too often.

Okay so Toy Story 2... I'd say the funniest of the 3 Toy Story movies... this also seemed like the most adventurous of all the Toy Story Movies. I think the funny thing about these movies is that the Toys are on this HUGE adventure and in reality they are usually only a few minutes away from their home. I don't think Sunnyside was that far, Sid was just RIGHT next door to Andy and Al's Toy Barn isn't too far either... but with this one they also go to the airport and the stakes are pretty high because they're going to Japan.

So... the most memorable part of Toy Story 2... the part that will kind of stick with you no matter what is the part where you learn Jessie was abandoned by her kid "Emily"... and they play that sad song that Sarah McLaughlin sings... it's just such a sad scene that I think is the first time Pixar really "went there" with these incredibly emotional scenes. I think Finding Nemo was kind of the first full movie that really went there and had it as a super emotional movie... but this was definitely the first scene that could just ruin you.

So that's kind of funny that it's both the funniest movie and the movie that I think would make me the saddest out of the first 4 Pixar movies. I guess Monster's Inc is a little bit funnier... but this is still really funny and just a great movie in general.

This movie really kind of shows the "childhood innocence" of the whole series... which I'm going to kind of explain here... a lot of times something isn't the same in Andy's room. Woody won't be in the same place where Andy left him- but Andy won't notice. Andy has 2 new toys in his room that he just assumes are from his mom... but they aren't. Even Al has no idea what exactly happened to the toys that were supposed to be sent from Japan. It's all kind of innocent and obviously they aren't thinking "Ohhh the toys come to life and that's obviously why all these things are different." They just think "hey this wasn't here before and now it is... cool!" And that's kind of a beautiful way to show childhood innocence in my opinion.

So that's about everything! Hope you guys like this! Next week will be Toy Story 3... and then I don't know what I'm going to post! Lol. Maybe I'll do a round up saying some more about all 3... maybe I won't!

Bye!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
