There's a dog trough right there.
So I think my bank froze my card. It was declined by every ATM in town today, despite having hundreds of dollars on it. Wonderful, I've been spending money in the states for two months, and only now do they freeze my card. This means I have to pester Bebe's mom tomorrow to use her phone to call them... in England... Not fun!
However, today I discovered that the cafe right outside my apartment block sells the most incredible pumpkin pie lattes, as well as smoothies, meaning that if I leave ten minutes early for ballet class, I can grab a smoothie an hour before class starts and be neither uncomfortably full nor unpleasantly hungry! Having tried both of these options, I can definitely say I'm not a fan of either. I also really need my legs to hurt less. I realized when I woke up yesterday that even if I did get everything done by 4:50, my legs were still way too strained to handle class. I'll do stretches and go to the gym on the weekend, I promise. I'm so sorry, legs. I'm so sorry I'm doing this to you.
So, after hanging out all night on Tron tinychat, I have learned that Disney has people out there, on the internet, reading ALL OF THE TRON FANFICTION to try and gauge what fans what to see in the next movie, since they've green-lighted a sequel for realsies. Honestly, they're going to have a problem with the Disney image if they really give us what we want, because unless they're on a very different internet to me, what the fans want is a great big charlie foxtrot of Elektra complexes and words like 'Flynncest'. But Alan on the grid would be nice. Alan and Tron meeting for the first time, my god, it would be so moving. Tron adored his Alan in the first movie. And Alan is just as protective as Tron is, and he's been through so much... hhhhn. Sob sob sob.
Though I'm honestly getting more and more sad as I realize that there will be no more Clu and Rinzler, ever. Clu is gone. I feel like a kind of a jerk, since everyone else and their Tron dog is like, Flynn is dead, this is a monumentous occasion for the Tron franchise. But Clu was just... such a perfect bad guy. He was sweet. His relationship with Rinzler was so special, something I will be guaranteed to talk about at length later. He just completely captivated me and now he's gone.
...Disney, please please make up for this with Alan and Tron interaction okay ;_; Let's have fifty-year-old Bruce Boxleitner kicking a youthfully sinister Cillian Murphy's ass on the grid with his User Powers please please please. Let's have angry possessive Alan being a fucking badass for once. Let's have the amazingness of fussy, protective Alan with sad, wet, lonely Tron being fished out of the ocean and finding that all his friends are dead. PILE on the hurt/comfort, Disney. You killed Bambi's mother once, you can make me cry during Tron. Let's have vaguely gay overtones smothered with paternal affection and just a little hero worship because if you do I may be able to distract myself from the fact that Clu is dead.
Oh God it's like Dexter Season 4 all over again.
