down wysteria lane

thursday last.

i did universal studios and got the whole hollywood experience. well, actually, if you factor in the time spent in the queues i really wonder why i bother. the old guy had been there lots of times and so he decided to pass - and there i was all on my own in the worlds biggest theme park!

it was fun though. the kid in me was unleashed and i fell into the candy floss trap - i found myself tapping away to the blues brothers! anyhoo, van helsing (didn't even see the movie!) was a real let down. i dont find fake skeletons and people in weird costumes particularly scary. however i ha d the opportunity of getting my arm chopped off in the special effects studio. it was really cool - seeing the blood gush out. they also killed me... but my ghost still lives on!

Of note was the studio tour. that's a must see for anyone. actually got to see when they actually shoot some movies and tv shows. even went down wysteria lane! it seemed so real and yet so surreal.... much enjoyed
