I took my adopted brother, Andy Steve to Universal Studios and harassed him with the Flip Mino. In front of Apu’s Kwik-E Mart. He’s a hilarious kid who reminds me that “I’m not cool.” Freaking A. Will I ever be cool? Probably not. haha.

As Andy Steve and I drove on the Universal Studios Studio Tour, we saw the cars that were in “Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.”

And if you’re a fan of ABC’s “Desperate Housewives,” here are pics from the Wisteria Lane set.

And Steven Spielberg’s “War of the Worlds”

And a favorite Holiday movie of mine, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”

And we ended the night with the WATERWORLD show, which was a bad idea because we were unaware that we were in the SOAK ZONE which means that one of the actors just throws buckets of water at you. And you can’t do anything about it!!! LOL

And thus, we got soaked with from this show, and left in the middle.
I said to Andy Steve: So… did you have fun?
Andy Steve (teeth chattering): Yup.

Mission Accomplished.

This past weekend, I spent some time taking my adopted little brother, Andy Steve, to Universal Studios. (Well, not really, but he looks up to me and is 11, so thus, the conclusion)
He’s a really good kid, not bratty at all, and I actually had a ton of fun. With the news of the Economy and just everything, seemingly to be incredibly negative, sometimes you can get a lot out of hanging out with the young folk. You can be a kid again.

Oh, and I don’t usually take pics at theme parks for fear of looking like a tourist, but I did it for the blog.

Here were the highlights.

Me, hanging out with Apu at the Kwik-E-Mart

They had “Pocky,” a popular Korean snack inside.

And of course, a little Java action

And Moe’s

Andy Steve and I attempted to go inside the “House of Horrors.” Sadly, it wasn’t him who chickened out. It was me. (After some scary man in a mask ran after me)

At this point, I wanted to take Andy Steve on the Studio tour, but he seemed bored. I promised him that it would be really fun…
It’s basically this elongated golf cart, that you’re riding with a very Positive driver/host who gives you a play-by-play about the history of Universal Studios.

The magic of movies truly are the special effects. Here is a picture of a river that “Rushes” on command as well as the rain which started/stopped with the click of a button.

And the famous Bates Motel from “Psycho.” Note: This guy is an actor. He definitely freaked me out though after he ran after our elongated cart.

Another post tomorrow…
