I didn't know how they were going to pull it off. I'm talking about Disney•Pixar here.I had seen the cute trailers and even watched the first 20 minutes of the new Disney•Pixar film, 'Inside Out,' and I was still unconvinced that they could pull off what they were attempting. In this brilliant animated feature, Pixar ...

The Surprising Pixar Press Event for Inside Out
Back in January when I had the sweet opportunity to visit Pixar and Skywalker Ranch (I will drop this into any conversation when given the chance, but that's not important right now), I had the good fortune to preview about 20 minutes of the new Disney/Pixar film, Inside Out. Read all about that here.This preview whetted my ...
Hello, Summer Garden! – A Giveaway
California is fickle. It can be 100 degrees one day and back down to 65 the next. It's been a relatively mild Spring and we are now barreling towards summer and that means Outdoor Entertaining Season. Can I get an "Amen?"Eric and I have been planning a Big Birthday Bash. It should have taken place this weekend. However, ...
There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow
Humor me for a few minutes as I time travel a bit. I'm old enough now to remember the days when Walt Disney was the visionary of our time. I remember the days when the Tomorrowland located in Disneyland Park really conceived a distant world of the future. Back then, the iconic Carousel of Progress was really a vision into a future that ...
George Clooney – Boy Genius. Talking about Tomorrowland
"Imagine a place where nothing is impossible." Of all the things that I thought that I might be writing about, never did I ever imagine that "interviewing George Clooney" would be one of those topics. But that happened and here we are. The context is that Disney Pictures has made a wonderful, oh-so-Disneyesque ...
‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Review – Marvelous!
Let's face it, I'm already a self-confessed Marvel Fangirl, so I went into the screening of Avengers: Age of Ultron with really high expectations. I am not exaggerating when I say that not only were my expectations met, they were fantastically exceeded. Yes, of course, this much anticipated entry into the Marvel ...
Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron – Press Day
I should probably start with a disclaimer about how this post is going to have lots of photos (you can thank me later) and be really long and fangirly (<--is that a word?) and I'm probably most definitely going to be gushing. (Oh, no! There's going to be gushing?) I had the distinct pleasure of attending the Marvel's ...
How Does My Garden Grow?
The weather here in Southern California has been phenomenal lately. Seriously. It has been the most perfect Spring so far. Very mild. Low 70's with a delicious breeze and then cooling in the evenings. (Go ahead. Take a moment. I'll wait until you're over your jealousy.) As the days grow longer and the weather gets so super inviting, ...
All the “feels” at Pixar – That’s Inside Out.
If you thought I was insufferable talking about my visit to Skywalker Ranch in January, just wait until I start telling you about Pixar. Pixar. *sigh* I have often (metaphorically) knelt and worshipped at the altar of the animation gods (little g) at Pixar. Ever since I attended my first animation festival back when I was in design school (in ...
What’s Important Right Now – January
I have lately been so caught up in telling all about my latest travel experiences (Skywalker Ranch, anyone?) that I have not stopped to write about the things that are happening in my real life and taking up space in my heart and mind. And I know I always tell you that some things are "not important right now," so I decided to share ...
