Love-relationship test thingy that is kinda on target in some places

but not at all in others.

( Hmmm... )

Movie excursion

First off, lemme tell you...the eight hours of sleep I had last night are blissful things indeed.

Last night's excursion to see Red Dragon was much more successful than I thought it would be on such short notice. bindrune met up with me in Jawndomay, and we made it to the theater by ten-ish. Inside, we met up with theshadowsfall, darkpixie6942, and the wonderful deep-voiced Kevin. Hugs were had by all, and we sat chatting in wait.

Soon, theswede showed up with an animate by his side. Intros, bathroom breaks...in walks jjjiii, angelhipster and their friend Amy. More idle chat, waiting for eternal iced mochas, cell phones unleashed and in walks wraptboy, sans a taewakan, as we expected. He reassured us that Tae would be in shortly.

Off we went to find a row of thirteen seats...our plans are foiled by theswede and animate: they sit behind us.

After everyone settled, and I barely got a hello to Mr. Tae, we were submerged in movie trailers and advertisements. I think we lost 40 minutes in those. At least they were good ones...Lord of the Rings, Gangs of New York. It could have been worse, but damn.

Red Dragon was pretty much all I wanted it to be.I won't reveal too much about it because I don't want to ruin it for others, but Anthony Hopkins was as brilliant as ever! Hannibal is such an amazing character, the most perfect antihero - yet Hopkins pulls him off as though Hannibal were just another personality. Of course, watching things unfold, watching Mr. Hopkins' expressions and body language, I see where a friend, whom I will not name, gets much of his demeanor, and I am smily for it.

The ending was pretty much the only part that was different from the book, and it was just subtle really. I cannot complain, for it was everything I'd hoped they would do...Ralph Fiennes, BTW, did a spectacular job as Francis Dolarhyde, and Norton - he was good as Graham too, although admittedly, I thought of Graham as being a bit older when I read the book. Nonetheless, all actors did a fantastic job, with perhaps, the exception of Norton's character-wife; I recognized her, but well, she wasn't nearly as strong as the character could have been. Of course, that could have just been script, *shrugs*

I was giddy through the whole thing, giggling at totally the wrong times because of my joy that they held so true to the book (after what they did to Hannibal, I was a bit worried they would destroy this one as well).

One of the finer points of the evening was watching bindrune make use of my worry-ring...I think it got a friction burn!~;P

The night ended with Tae disappearing (you still owe me a hug, dammit!), jjjiii hurrying to get some sleep before work, and the rest of us eventually dispersing without a common goal...I was sad, what with the humongous mocha bindrune supplied me with! BOIOIOIINGG!! I think I could have stayed up till sunrise.

Wound up back home at Jawndomay with wraptboy and bindrune, talking on the porch and basking in the fierce winds that made the trees wave hello. bindrune wasn't feeling so hot, so she left and I sat talking with the roomie.

Eventually, bladernr and sharpshinyclaws came wandering from the molten tavern and we said our hellos, exchanged more hugs (yay!) and then bodies became chilled and decided to go home.

That was my Friday.

Oh! and I found out that theshadowsfall is getting me an early December-day (Christmas/ b-day) gift: I will be seeing Tori Amos next month with him! *bounce!* I truly have the most thoughtful, beautiful friends in the world...I don't think I could ever possibly explain how greatful I am for having them in my life.

Let's just say that when I feel the warmth of the sun shine down on my face, it warms my heart not because of it's heat alone, but because it reminds of the light I have coming from the lot of you.~8D

Thank you all for coming out last night. It thrilled me to no end spending time with you. Not to mention, I got my thirteen hugs for the day...making it a truly healthy day.

Wanna climb up my pole?

A Break From the Doldrum

My diabolical curse generator told me I'm doomed today.

One of my hor(ror)scopes said i should take any business offers, no matter how seemingly inconsequential - they will likely be my road to fame and/ or fortune.

My hands are like raisins after doing so many damn dishes.

Zen-Laundry Experiences just aren't the same at home as they are at public laundromats. Sure, it's cheaper, but I kind of miss the people watching.

Mixed CDs are the highlight to a day like this for me...even if i have no clue who half the bands are.

beh.


The Winamp 3 visual makes me happy I don't do hallucinogenic substances anymore. Jeezus.

I have a lot of little things to say, lots of random thoughts...eventually I'll wind up at a diner somewhere, reading, studying...Sociology test Monday. I have to shove his smarm up his ass.

All I'd really like to do is sit on a beach somewhere, watching the stars and listening to the waves, and talking to someone who won't judge me, whom I feel I can listen to and then be listened to. I don't mind waiting my turn - usually.

Unusually?

not as often as before...



*sigh*

Laundry...right.
Maybe molten cafes later.
I wanna do surly with the galz, and make the boiz mad like hyenas.

I miss something
what it is, I do not know.
