Tuesday 4th May 2004
Lovely day at Universal studios. Weather so much cooler than yesterday so not walking around with slimy smooth sweat skin and tshirt stuck to my back. Mmmm, raunchy!There are some really great things at Universal Studios. A live action show of Waterworld is great (and with an audience capacity of 1000 means that already more people today have seen it than saw the movie )The cast are introduced as 'as seen in Law and Order' or 'as seen in Pirates of the Caribbean'. You do get the feeling that if you go up to them and asked who they were, they may say 'Pirate number 11'and out of politeness you go 'ooo you were great, so much better than pirate number ten' and they are standing there nodding, lapping up every word, thinking 'hey thats what my mom says too...'
Jurassic Park the water ride is also great - huge drop at the end. Darren and I were in front of this game old bird, Betty, whose last words as she went over the drop were 'I should have bought a maaaaaccccc'. her perm didn't move a millimetre.
Find of the day was the special effects show - the hosts Paul and Martin were so camp they made me look butch. paul blatently ignored my little Darren when asking if anyone was from abroad. I like to think it was because Paul saw him and fell deeply in love and was afraid that if he spoke to him it would betray his true feelings.
Spiderman rock and roll musical was dreadful. Sure, holding out for a hero worked sort of as an anthem for peter parker (stunning pecs on the guy who played him!!) but having the potential rapists of Mary Jane sing She Bangs wass just wrong. Wronger than William Hung singing it. And that is some serious wrong.
Ended off the day watching 13 going on 30. how incandescent was jennifer garner - and her best friend matty turned out to be her best hottie when he grew up. Mark something or other is the foxy beast actor. read is a magazine he survived a brain tumor - hot and a survivor :)
