This apron looks good on Ellen. Though that skirt might get a little heavy.
Part 3a: We drove to the Jordan Commons movie theater in Sandy. Sandy
totally reminds me of Roseville, by the way. It's a little bit weird. On our way we passed this store that Kimberly had a strong desire to check out simply because it had an amazing name:
Nothing Bundt Cakes. Lucky for us it was their Grand Opening and we got discounted "bundtlet" cakes, which are mini bundt cakes if that was over your head in any way:) I got lemon raspberry. It was some seriously scrumptious cake.
Part 3b: Right next to Nothing Bundt Cakes was a little slice of my own personal heaven - CHIPOTLE!!! For those of you who don't know me, I have a passion for fake Mexican food in the form of Chipotle burritos. I got my usual steak with the corn and tomato salsa. Delicious. Also, in California they give free drinks to students if they have their ID card. Apparently they don't in Utah, which is lame. We inquired about this, and there was some miscommunication. In the end, even though Utah Chipotle's rules are crap, their employees were
awesome and gave us free drinks anyways. I wanted to hug them for making my fantastic day even more fantastic.
Part 4: We went to Jordan Commons because it's like the coolest theater ever, and it was the only appropriate venue for us to view the highly anticipated Dark Knight. This place lets you reserve your specific spot in the movie theater so you don't have to wait in lines. Plus, they let you bring in outside food, so it was a burrito and bundtlet feast!
Now, the movie. I have always loved Batman. I think as a kid the idea of creating this secret identity for yourself and having sweet gadgets and a Batmobile made him my favorite. Plus the villains were always the most creative. Lets face it though, Batman movies have not always been spectacular. But I loved Batman Begins. I like the lack of comic-book cheesiness and how it almost seems real and totally plausible. I was excited the moment I saw a trailer for The Dark Knight, and it was even better than I expected.

The acting was great, particularly Heath Ledger of course. I know there was a whole lot of hype about his role, but believe me, it was well-deserved. He creeped me out more than a little bit. I think Kim put it best when she said that she was always waiting for his scenes, but whenever he came on she was freaked out and didn't want to look at him. He's the scariest of any super villain I think I've ever seen. Because his motive isn't money or even power necessarily. He's just seriously psychotic and enjoys causing mayhem. He has nothing to lose and nothing to fear, so even when he's getting his face bashed in or falling from a building he laughs like it's all a game. He really has no weakness that the hero or police could use as leverage to make him stop. And that's what made it kind of disturbing. I was in a constant state of worry for Gotham, because all this horrible stuff was happening and the only way to stop it would be to actually kill the Joker, which everyone seemed too noble to do.
There was a lot going on in this movie, and I won't bore you with more of my opinion, but I will say that I loved it. And Christian Bale's foxy face didn't hurt either.
Part 5: Ellen's mom came to Provo because she's driving Ellen and I back to Sacramento for our good friend Krystal's wedding. I love Julie. She took us out for a light dinner, and to make make the day even more ridiculous, took us out to see Mama Mia. Quite a departure from The Dark Knight, but I was ready for something light. I found it hilarious, and it definitely made me want to dance like a dancin' queen!
