Days Sans Internet

I’ve spent the last 40+ hours with no Internet access, which basically never happens unless I’m away. Note, it wasn’t exactly by choice that I didn’t (and at home, still don’t) have Internet access. But when you don’t have the option of using the ‘net, you don’t really have the desire to use it, either.

Of course, it means I’m overwhelmed with all the webcomic updates, LiveJournal entries, and blog posts I’m now supposed to catch up with, but it’s nice not to have to worry about what people are posting, for a couple of days. Also, it means I had more time to do other things, like read.

A real test of my ability, though, would to remove more than just one form of technology.


Toy Story 3 (2010)

Toy Story 3 movie posterNot gonna lie, Toy Story 3 was my most anticipated movie of 2010. Of course I saw it on the Australian release date, and to quote myself on Facebook, “I have no words for how awesome it was. All I have is keyboard smash: FJASDKLFHASDKL;”. Certainly, it’s the best animated film of all time, and among the very best of 2010. I can’t name any flaws. Basically? It was epic, and I think it was a great way to end (?) the series.

I also re-watched Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in preparation, and you know what? I lied when I said Up was the best thing Pixar has done so far. It’s been quite a few years since I’d seen any of the Toy Story franchise, and I’d forgotten how good it is. By the the third instalment, I’d grown so attached to these characters, and the ending was a bit emotional. I was definitely more attached to Woody and the gang than I ever was to my own toys, I don’t know why.

So! Now that I’ve seen it, this means that Cars is once again the only Pixar movie I haven’t seen. I don’t know, it just seems a bit kiddy, and I wasn’t much of a fan of Finding Nemo for that reason. But a sequel is going to be released next year, so ugh. Someone tell me if it’s worth watching, or something!
