Universal Studios Round Two

What a great Halloween! With school off because of Teacher Development Day, my mom and I hopped on the opportunity to go to the Universal Studios in Los Angeles again. We had a grand time. There were significantly more people at the theme park than last time, so we had to wait in line a bit longer for our favorite rides. Well, that did not stop us from going on both the Harry Potter and the Transformers ride four times in a row. In the Halloween spirit, the Universal Studios staff dressed up as mummies, pharaohs, The Simpsons characters, vampires, witches, and more. We left at around four in the afternoon. Traffic on the way back was torture, though. I ended up falling asleep.

I was a single rider for the Jurassic Park ride, and when I jumped into an empty row, two rather large women followed in after me. I experienced some panic when the lap bar ended up being more than five inches away from my body and not a mere five centimeters because of the two women. I was truly worried about my fate and if my grasp on the lap bar would prevent my body from lifting out of my seat during the free fall. Thankfully, my fall was not different from last time, and I survived with no injuries. Phew!

On Sunday, I bought two new tops from the clothing outlet right next door to the ramen shop Ikkousha in Costa Mesa. The two things that attracted me to them were the fact that they were really colorful and different from what I normally wear, and they were on a buy-one-get-one-free sale.
