Hello! Hello and welcome to very amusing, your one-stop shop for the stories, secrets and shenanigans

of a popcorn-fueled theme park journalist.

I'm Carly Misele, and I am fresh off of a

Thanksgiving week break. It was wonderful. I had a long weekend with my family. My

parents came in town. I got to do a lot. I got to see a couple of friends I took Pearl to the Zoo for the first time and I realized I I like

Zoos and I think I like zoos because they remind me of Animal Kingdom you You know how sometimes things in your hometown or in your

visiting places remind you a little of a theme park like an old tiny ice cream

parlor or anything of that sort I mean I'm only thinking of a zoo in an ice cream parlor.

But it just reminds you a little of like the magic

of being in a theme park.

And I think that's why I like going to the zoo so much

because it feels a little bit like Disney's Animal Kingdom.

We had a nice time, Pearl saw an elephant and a giraffe up close.

She seemed a little freaked out but enjoyed it. Like she was just silent and stoic and staring,

but the giraffes at the LA Zoo are really great. The where they're set up is really nice so I got to see them.

And it was great. Oh, and it was my mom's birthday. Thank you to everyone who gave her wonderful birthday wishes.

And as I've posted on

Instagram you probably know by now. Yes my mother accosted the actor Owen Wilson

at dinner. It is true. Star of Loki, one of my all-time favorite TV shows.

We, long story short, we went to a restaurant,

I will not solely the restaurant's name in this,

but we went to a restaurant that you don't really expect celebrities
