She's a grade lower than me. She's really cool, albiet kinda crazy. But that makes for interesting conversations. Her and I saw Hulk today, it was pretty cool.

Shes crazy? Sounds like a good match. Heh, thanks. It's weird, I've never had a relationship where the opposite party wasn't, to some degree, a little insane. |

Full Philly Trip Report
Wednesday 28th May
So we left for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America, Earth, The Universe. The flight was okay,...Watched Cloverfield (and had the epicanna statue of libertys head butcherisation scene conviniently paused/skipped over for an announcement from the pilot.) Anyway arrived, and went to Burger King...I had a "Triple Stacker" which is a burger with THREE beef patties, and then bacon and cheese. You could also opt for a quadruple stacker....seriously (Thats like...fucking four) and then went to a 7-11 (which if not familiar, is like Spar) and this tramp opened the door for me was like "Change on the way out" you can fuck off. Anyway he opened the door for us on the way out, and my just phasing out putting my money away forgot to thank. He said "You're welcome" sarcastically...I ignored...then "I said you're fucking welcome" we speedily left lol.
Thursday
We went to this place called King of Prussia mall which is like the biggest mall on the east coast of America and is frankly "fooking mahoosive" I got soooo much stuff, and it was soooo awesome. Not much else to say. For lunch had TGI Fridays, JD Steak and Shrimp. Biggest steak the world has ever seen. It was simply amazing. (Meal was like £20 and ridiculously bigger than the UK equivilant meal, and usually we'd spend like £25-35 at TGIs here) Bought a shit load of LEGO too.
Friday
Walked around Philly town, I had my first "Slurpee" experience. Wow...SLURPEES ARE SO AWESOME! Over the course of the holiday I tried many flavours ; Fanta Banana (amazing) Coca Cola (Mediocore) Fanta Cherry (Noice) Fruit Punch (Kinda eww) and Strawberry Creme which was okay, but yeah the Banana one was the best, the texture is soooo nice, similar to Tango Ice Blast, but goes down easier...and like 80p not £3.50. \Then In the evening I went and hung out with people that Ive spoken to online for like 5 years which was cool! (Met Scott Porter, wheeee) and it was just generally sweet.
Saturday
Went to a comic convention Wizard World East. Was very cool sitting in on a few of the panels, seeing some great comic creators in real life. We all put on Skrull masks lol. It was cool as I always check Comics Continuum and read the info from the panels, so it was cool being in the room getting the info as it came!
Sunday
Went to New York....wow, that was just fucking epic, Im sorry but it really was. Bought another shit load of LEGO, went to Ninty World (amazing) Time Square is basically the greatest place on earth. Went on a bus tour. The whole thing was breathtakingly awesome. (Had lunch at Planet Hollywood, which was cooool)
Monday
Went to the historical sites of Philly, Liberty Bell et all. Mildly interesting. Enjoyable day.
Tuesday
*Sigh* this was the horrible day. I researched before we came about going to Six Flags soooo much. Like literally I explored every single avenue for like 5 hours+ research purely for transport to and info about Six Flags Great Adventure (a really sweet theme park) anyway so we get to the bus station...find out theres a coach that goes directly there on Weekends (which is advertised everywhere at the coach station, full colour leaflet plastered everywhere...and this particular service is not mentioned ANYWHERE on the internet. Not on the companys website, or anything at all) so that made me a bit mad, but worry I did not, I had researched the bus to get us there would need to be going to a town called Casseville and taxi from there to the park (approx 7 miles) (see I totally covered all bases research wise) anyway so we get to Casseville (like 2 hours and a bit journey) and its this fucking middle of nowhere town. I imagined it would at least have like a bus stop or maybe even station...not the case. Heck there was no bus sign or anything. The stop was the side of the road. This "town" had a tavern, and a truckers diner. And diggers at the side of the road. AGAIN worry not! For I was fully prepared and had the numbers of three local taxi companies in my phone. So I ring for one...and it doesnt turn up. At this point it is getting kinda late in "wanting to do stuff" ways, and we were tired and just decided to catch the bus back. If we re-rang for a taxi we wouldnt have had much time at the park at all.
Now you probably know Im a massive coaster freak, and I researched the shit outta this and I was fucking devastated about this. So mad that the taxi didnt come...They quoted price and everything. So yeah I was upset. Ho-hum, no point bitching now as it cannot be changed.
Wednesday
Walked around Philadelphia again, went to the Natural Science museum which was coooool. Got some cool photos etc.
Thursday...which is today...well it feels like today.
Met up with a guy from the net Ive had beef with previously (Chair,Paj, - AZS) I had met him on Friday, but this was just me Claire and him, for lunch/breakfast, but it was cool. We had a chat about the holiday and I had a famous Philly Cheese Steak. Then went around Franklin Square MINI GOLF GHET (Claire beat me! ) and then went to South Street where there was such a cool comic shop, then back to market, epic ice cream (I had my fav flavour - pistachio) and then got on a plane and came here.

...Watched Cloverfield...
We spent to entire movie criticizing and pointing out all the mistakes in the movie. If someone would have been listening to us it would have been like watching MST3000.
We even watched the Extra stuff loaded on the DVD to see if it corrected the erroneous errors throughout the movie. Needless to say, we discovered even worse errors by confirming that the monster was actually a sea monster from Earth.
We laughed so hard as we talked about how a creature the size and build of the Cloverfield monster couldn't possibly survive or thrive at the bottom of the ocean.
Gawds, the movie Zombie Clowns and Inside were cinematic wonders compared to Coverfield.
I only thank the Force that I rented this movie from Netflix instead of buying it. |

You should check out the viral marketing and stuff. Theres a hell of a lot of information on it and the mythology of it that explains a lot....
....mind you if you spent the whole movie pointing out its flaws you'll probably want to give it a miss.

I think Annie and I must be the only people on the planet that hated this movie. We watched it the other day for the first time.

But, sadly, the discrepencies just screamed at us and made the movie unenjoyable. We found ourselves sitting there making fun of it and putting it down.
Like I said earlier:
We even watched nearly all of the DVD Extras hoping it would explain the errors we saw. All that did was prove the designers/writers/producers had no idea what they were doing besides just making a mindless monster movie rip-off. |
