Hey there everyone. As can be seen, it's been almost 4 and a half months since I've last updated my journal. I figured that most of them wouldn't be read and/or responded to, and I still suffer from my bad habit of procrastination.

Anyway...where do I begin?

Well, in June, my folks and I went to France and stayed there for about 3 and a half weeks, mainly visiting relatives. We had some fun there, but there were family drama issues that bogged us down, even to the point where we couldn't go to some places, such as the Eiffel Tower for instance.

Yeah, I know...It's a real kick in the nuts to go to France but not go see the Eiffel Tower. *sighs* At least I enjoyed gyros and went to the beach. I was just really happy to come back home. We brought back so many gifts that it was quite frustrating to pack it all. I was able to get some Lion bars, which are these candy bars with chocolate, caramel, and a crisp waffer. I gave some to my friend, and he and his family gobbled them up like crazy, lol.

Before we left for France, we got to the theater to see Kung Fu Panda, which is a pretty nice movie. I like the animation touches and how the jokes stay within the world of the story as opposed to winking at the camera and making pop culture references. I can't wait to get it on DVD.

In July, I got two free tickets to the Dark Knight. My friend I went to see it on the 18th when it came out, and we loved it. He saw the movie 4 more times and I saw it once more, with my parents with me. Heath Ledger was brilliant as the Joker, and it's such a shame that he's no longer with us. R.I.P. I look forward to getting the DVD of this movie as well.

This is all for now. I'll get to the next part later. Take care everyone.
