revenge
Two nights ago was the Universal Studios employee summer party. I didn't get off work until 9:00 but the party started at 7:00 so my parents took the metro to Universal to meet me. Only one guest was allowed into the park, so my dad and I rushed in to get in line for the ride-- the revenge of the mummy. It has been advertised as a psychological thrill ride so I was a little scared about getting on. It turned out that I had plenty of time to ease my fears. We stood in line for 2.5 hours because the ride broke down when we were near the front of the line. Except for my feet being tired from standing during work and in line, I didn't mind so much. We unfortunately missed out on the rest of the party, specifically the free food.
Instead, I got to evesdrop on the people around me. The two guys, probably early twenties, in front of me were wearing all abercrombie, including their sandals. They were loud and annoying and played games on their full color cell phone screens as they waited. The two guys behind me looked like 20-30 year old brothers. The one that worked at Universal reminded me of Chris Martin and Michael Vartan combined. They were talking about tv shows and some list of 25 movies. They were angry that "Finding Forrester" and "Searching for Bobby Fisher" were included and not some of their favorites. I thought it was funny because, although I liked "Finding Forrester," I consider "Searcing for Bobby Fisher" to be the most dull movie that I have ever watched.
I don't really want to criticize the ride too heavily. I'll just say that it was way too short. Just when you think it is beginning, it is over. Other than that, it was fun and met my expectations. It was also less scarying than I feared. It reminded me of a combination of Indiana Jones and Space Mountain, but not quite as wonderful or involving as either.

Yesterday, I convinced my parents to go to Hollywood (wo!) for the Los Angeles Film Festival. We ended up watching this documentary type film called "Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus." It was enjoyable and renewed my interest in music with southern influences. Afterwards, we went to eat at Mel's Diner on Sunset. I went there to eat, what I consider to be, the best tuna melt that I have ever had. My memory had not failed me. I couldn't figure out what they mixed in the tuna to make it so moist and tasty, as it was not mayonnaise.

Lyndsay's keys to a great tuna melt:
1. Moist, quality tuna
2. Something green (at Mel's it's onions and celery)
3. Not too much celery
4. Cheddar cheese
5. Buttered rye bread

I was supposed to go clubbing with Xi at Tigerheat when I got home, but he wasn't feeling well. Too bad, as I haven't been in a long time, and it was free.

Earlier today, I found the this game while searching for graphics for trio tees. It's fun and includes plenty of hip Shag graphic.
