Something About Nothing ... #12

Anyone watched the new JK Rowling offering Fantastic Beasts??

Can't get past the first 20/30 minutes........awfully boring........does it get better?

Hate to invest time in something I won't enjoy............

It gets better...I really enjoyed it but I'm a big potterhead and would probably like anything new in the wizarding world.

Yes, we saw it in our theater. I thought parts dragged a bit, but like Tink, I'm a potterhead, and enjoyed it for what it was. Light, fun, and potter tie ins that I remembered seeing/reading about in the original series. We actually liked the beasts they created. Though I think you'd take home the one that liked sparkly things. LOL

Looks nice to me, did I miss a sofa bed? Would u say the layout is good? Like it better than RP?



Lol you can skip the pics of the party, but enjoy.

Sofa bed was being sat on, lol. Yes, the layout is very nice and kind of like it better than RPR. But the EP is a big deal breaker.

Carole - hang in there, the 2nd half is very good. I'd like to see it again as I was getting distracted while watching it, being upset it was lagging so much

If they don't have that cute little guy available for purchase they are missing out. It reminds me of the toys I buy for my pooch. You hide babies in platypus belly or squirrels in log, all plush. Occupies for hours, akin to the Kong type where u hide treats

We really liked the vibe and new hotel smell lol. For us it's perfect for a two night HHN visit as we don't bother going into the parks much before HHN starts. Unfortunately, others must have the same idea as the suite has been sold out since October for our dates.

Are you talking about Forbidden Journey or something else?

FJ is going down for maintenance dec 1st
Reopens December 18

UO released the info November 12 I believe

 

[schumigirl]

Thank you ladies.......will persevere again at some point......I do like the Potter movies and liked the Philosphers Stone straight away, and is kinda much still my favourite one actually........but, this I just couldn't get to grips with........even DH said he wasn't sure. Maybe try tomorrow night again.......


Up and out early this morning.......wanted to visit a few grocery stores, and wanted to beat the Friday rush.......and managed it.....back in the house for just after 9.30 after visiting 3 stores. Probably a load of stuff we don't need, but least it`s there..........

And it`s Friday.......yay

 

[macraven]

Have some wine tonight schumi and maybe the movie will be more exciting for youse tonight

Happy Friday homies!

Wonder how our boys at the darkside are doing today


And where is tinyD?

 

[schumigirl]

Yep.......wine usually helps a bad movie........

Will be busy tomorrow doing the trees and decorations, so need to chill out tonight........

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, I am so ready for the week-end. It's cold, but the sky is mostly blue, and the sun is so bright, yay! I get to actually wear sunglasses after days of having them sit.

So ready for our trip to come. Can't believe it's December already. Start that advent calendar, if y'all haven't already. DD still likes doing it, DS not, but got him a Lego SW one, so he's kinda now interested. He's on another expensive Lego kits faze. Neither kid is getting much though, the trip and extras are mostly their present.

Get those wine glasses out, and chug some more coffee, it is Friday! and that deserves a:

That's why I asked. FJ closing is old news and I've come to terms with it. I was afraid something else might be closing to affect our trip!

 

[schumigirl]

Doncha just love a snooze along the comfiest sofa in the world on a dark winters afternoon.........

Didn't plan to fall asleep, but heating was lovely and toasty and I was so comfy............woke up and made a chicken curry for us and pizza for DS.........it was delicious.......hot and spicy but sweet too........lush!!

Not sure if we are going to watch the beasts movie tonight or something else.........but definitely a night in front of the TV.........

Christmas Trees and decorations up tomorrow.......yay!!

 

[schumigirl]

Fantastic Beasts did get better ........it was actually really good.....eventually.........very slow start to the movie.

But next one isn't coming out till 2018/19!!! That's a long time to wait. I'll watch it again when it's on normal movie channels, watching it on the android box was a bit patchy, but totally watchable.

Nearly bedtime here........

Oh Mac......

The Bluers and the Pctang families are soaking up the sun at universal. Say hi to the Minions for me.

Bagolaughs and her honey are going to Hawaii for their honeymoon.

Lynne is holding police cat line ups for anyone with bad tree destroying kitties.

Schumigirl drinking wine, napping and decorating for Christmas.

Squirlz had Turducken and is going to Chicago and Florida.

Keisha is buying toys for her pooch.

Tink is a Potterhead and she is decorating her Christmas tree.

Macs rain dance finally produced results

Kohlby and family are settling in Orlando.

I'am being lazy this morning and looking forward to upcoming shopping trip with sister this coming week. Have a great Saturday all.

Good Saturday morning homies!

It is cold here brrrr. Time to whip out the new winter coat. Got one of those lightweight packable down-looking type. Can shove it into a gallon size bag, will work well for travel in the winter months. Love it, so warm but no bulk when driving.

Yep.......wine usually helps a bad movie........

Will be busy tomorrow doing the trees and decorations, so need to chill out tonight........

Toss in some cheese & crackers, even popcorn to up the ante & I'm there

Ok, here it comes..

I told you so

One of my sadly missed tags

Have a good weekend all. Hoping to finally get 'round to watching the Independence Day sequel.

 

[tink1957]

It's cold here in the garden center today...good thing they built me a hut with a heater in it.

I had some extra vacation time to burn so I asked off Jan 1-6 ...hey mac....are you up for a road trip? I'll probably just stay home and get some much delayed tasks done....but it's tempting to make a visit to the darkside.

Stay warm everyone and have a wonderful weekend

And where is tinyD?

 

[Squirlz]

Getting ready to drive to the airport hotel. We fly to MCO tomorrow!

 

[Lynne G]

Robo has me in a Christmas mood.

Made the mistake to go the mall. Packed and warm. Going to wear my winter coat, then leave in car the next time. Heat and crowds do not mix well. Ahhh, the Christmas shopping joy.

Hope TinyD is doing well.

Have a great Saturday all.
