Laundry and movies.

I just put in a GIANT load of laundry and there's plenty more where that came from. I have a weird habit of waiting way too long to wash my clothes. It's not like I wear dirty clothes or anything, but I just let my hamper get fuller and fuller and then I finally have to carve some time out of doing nothing all day and get them downstairs to the laundry room. This is probably done out of pure laziness on my part, but when I don't do laundry for weeks at a time I get the chance to get a little more creative with my outfits. When my old standbys are out of commission, I get to dig around for things I haven't worn in ages and break them in all over again. Also, it's so much more satisfying to do more laundry than less laundry.

I'm kind of in freak-out mode now because I'm leaving in a few hours to go to the North Shore in Mass to visit some family, and I haven't packed yet. I can't pack until my laundry is done, really. So for now I'm eating and blogging and having this strange urge to go to the movies. I love seeing movies in the summer. It's always pleasantly freezing in movie theaters, I like having popcorn for dinner, and I just plain like watching movies.

The last movie I saw in theaters was "Toy Story 3" and everything people have said about it thus far is the truth: it's awesome, and it will make you cry. My entire face was wet by the end of it, and when I got home and talked about it with my sister who had already seen it, I started getting choked up all over again. But even though it made me really sad, it's a gem of a movie. I love that Pixar made it for the people that have grown up with "Toy Story." It's all about growing up and being torn between holding onto parts of your childhood and leaving them all in the dust. Fitting, considering this is the last "Toy Story" movie. Maybe someday the kid sitting behind me will understand why I was sniffling nonstop at the end.

Also, folks at Pixar, those were some seriously sneaky innuendos. Thanks for not following the typical Disney fashion of putting phallic things everywhere and calling it edgy.
