Planet 51 review~ (Some spoilers)

=Icy-Flame — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:15:57 PST

I saw Planet 51 last weekend and AWWW it was so cuute! especially the little robot. I love how they gave it a personality and a hobby. We all have some kind of object we're obsessed with, for some, stamp collection, phone cards, etc. Though the ending was pretty predictable, because you know it wouldn't have ended any other way. A lot of funny moments. I really liked how they showed cultural difference through humorous scenes. It's kinda like wall-e, a must see that will leave you going awww afterward :yay:

=Icy-Flame — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 11:25:54 PDT

Well, since I probably forgot to put this on my "new year's resolutions" list, and it's too late to do so anyway. I'm putting this on my new season's resolutions, for summer, even though it's not summer yet.

Nubbing it up at Atlantic City

=Icy-Flame — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 08:40:44 PST

So me and a few friends went to spend last Sunday and Monday Atlantic City. Casinos are definitely not how I expected them to be. Perhaps from the influence of movies and such, we all thought it was gonna be a happy fun filled place. Turns out majority of the people looked so gloomy haha, for a good reason I guess. It appears that over 90% of slot machine players are people aged 50 and up. Yes, there are more grannies in casinos than you'd expect, I donno why...

My friends were completely oblivious to some of the intricate little rules to certain games and kind of got some "what nubs" looks from the older regular players. well, when that happened that was when I first saw some smiles at the table haha.

Other than that, there were a LOT of strip clubs. We ended up going to none of them and surprisingly, we barely drank last weekend either. It was a little chilly and we kind of went there just for the experience, that and to get out of our own city for a weekend. I don't know when the next time will be when we all get a 3 day weekend together.

Well, that wraps it up
You don't have to go out to have fun, I personal would have loved staying home gaming just as much haha.

Hope you all had a fun weekend!

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Have you ever been to a Casino and did you gamble?

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

=Icy-Flame — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 09:26:48 PST

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Hope your valentine's day is happy and fun~ I'm sure it would be well spent with a model!

Thank you Konnie for the wonderful present. I LOVE IT~~
AND XOXO To everyone. If you are not spending it with a loved one, go out and buy yourself tons of chocolate and icecream and indulge yourself~ Who said you can't find an excuse to enjoy yourself anyway! XD

I'm wondering, has anyone encountered an instance where during the first valentine your bf is spending with you, he forgot or didn't think of buying you flowers?

That is all~~ Otherwise I'm probably PMSing over the rest of the things that happened
Always, hoping tomorrow is a better day haha.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: How are you spending your Valentine's day and what presents did you get?

Valentine's Day Plans: Weekend at Atlantic City

=Icy-Flame — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 18:59:36 PST

I'm thinking about spending valentine's day weekend at Atlantic City since I have a 3 day weekend. People call it the las vegas of the east coast, but I've never been there before~! I have so much clothes shopping to do too, and what sucks is it's by a beach and I'm going during a cold season.

Must gamble away my life savings~! jk XD

So has anyone been there before? Or if anyone knows any useful information or any suggestions on things to do there and places I should definitely go that'd be great too~~.

I know march 1-7th is restaurant week at atlantic city, so i'll deeefinitely be going then again, cause I LOVE good food

QUESTION OF THE DAY: What are you doing this valentine's day?

***No portions of my art may be used without explicit, written permission.***
If you see my art anywhere else aside from DA or my website, that's not under my name or credited to me as the artist, they are most likely stolen. Please let me know. I appreciate it, Thank you!

Happy holidays & wishes for a wonderful New Ye

=Icy-Flame — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 21:46:18 PST

Happy holidays everyone~! How was your Christmas? And Chanuka for those who are Jewish and other holidays that may have happened during this time that I may have missed XD

I'm taking a few days off from work so I can relax a bit at home and have some time for family and friends. Once you are out of school you realize how hard it is to have that little bit of free time to spend with friends. College is probably where you will have the most amount of free time to just enjoy life with, so those of you who are still in school? ENJOY IT~! Your best asset is your youth, and once you are older you can never have that one thing back.

Hope you are all having a blast with family and friends during this joyful season, and getting lots of delicious food and wonderful gifts~!
