Biscuits!
So New Moon was pretty good, although it wasn't as fangirl-tastic as I assumed it would be. Granted, I didn't care much for New Moon the book and it's the only one of the series I hadn't re-read. Hadley, Noah and I went to see it together at the giant amazing AMC near their apartment. The theater was even selling shirts -- freaking shirts! -- that said Team Edward or Team Jacob on them. I was puzzled on if I ought to purchase one, but then I realized I had an Edward shirt I bought last year at home lost somewhere in the throngs of my closet. I decided against the shirt.
Also, it is too readily apparent that I am not allowed in the kitchen. Hadley was making biscuits and gravy for dinner, and she asked me and Noah to open up the tinned biscuits. I looked at the container, saw the can-like top, and I figured a can opener was appropriate. They stopped me mid-way with can opener in hand with this look of shock and horror.
"That's... not how you open up tinned biscuits. ... You tear the paper off. ... How do you not know this?"
"... I never was allowed into the kitchen much..."
"......."
Though I will admit Jacob and Bella have better chemistry on screen than Edward and Bella. At least Jacob is passionate about things -- Edward is just kind of, "Blah blah angsty blah blah" throughout this film. The trailers also made me assume they had expanded more fighting scenes, but they hadn't. At least we have Eclipse to look forward to for that. Not that Breaking Dawn won't be a whole fiasco of blood, crazy, and WTF the whole time, but there you go. I will definitely have to go to the midnight release of that one, just to watch all the Twi-hards freak out and punch each other in the face.
Driving home, Hadley and I desperately wanted to play Freak Out the Twilight Noob on Noah and tell him exactly what happens in Breaking Dawn, but he wouldn't let us.
Anyway, erm, let's see, what else... I started playing D&D with the Kansas Nakama, though we haven't done much except pick our characters out. I am proudly a chibi elf cleric with a bow, who is technically older than everyone else yet with the mentality of the youngest one in the group. I love irony. I also got my Soi Fon costume in the mail for Naka-kon, and it seriously looks good. The only problem I'll have is setting up the wig (the hair extensions and the wig itself are separate). I also don't know what to do anymore to dress it up for my original character on Friday.
Also, anyone interested in two Renfest dresses, a full Harry Potter costume set from Alivans, and an Arrancar Orihime cosplay dress? I don't want to just get rid of them, considering what they cost me, but they're far too big now. (Yay for losing 20 lbs since June). I ought to put them up on Ebay at least, but I've never done that before. I need a crash course in Ebay-selling.
