Dan: It's going to be awesome!!
Dan: But it might suck.
Yes ladies -n- gentlemen the moment you wait for all year long has come once again. Let us all join in and celebrate Laurie's birthday weekend!! Yes weekend. I mean, if God saw fit to put my birthday on a three day weekend who am I to contradict his plan? Besides, if I really wanted to question the divine plan, I would ask God what's the deal with Ashburn? The city has two exits that go in opposite directions and end up at the same place, and that's just the beginning. No wonder I got lost and was 20 minutes late to the restaurant if you ask me, 40 minutes late if you ask anyone else. Whatever, I can be late if I want- I am the birthday princess and I have the tiara to prove it. No seriously, I have a pink sparkly tiara with feathers that says "Birthday Princess."
We celebrated with the annual drinking of the margaritas which I just made sound like the annual running of the bulls although I'm pretty sure the bulls never made Brittlea so happy. Well, we didn't all have margaritas, I believe Dan had a Sam Adams which he helpfully clarified is a beer, and not a dead president in a bottle. At which point we in turn clarified that there was never a president called Sam Adams anyway. Then some sketchy dude at the bar brought me a million dollar bill. I was sad cause last year the bar brought me an actual drink, but Dan clarified it wasn't the actual bar, just a sketchy dude. Then I clarified that a woodchuck is a rodent not to be confused with *cough* Woodstock the yellow bird that follows Snoopy around. And then further clarified that they (woodchucks) are the same thing as ground hogs. All in all there was way too much clarifying.
Then we went to see X-Men: The Last Stand although judging from the ending I believe the actual title is more along the lines of X-Men:The Last Stand Until The Next One Comes Around. Hard to say how the movie actually was. If you judge it on the Meagan Scale, which I believe is based on percentage of British people dead or seriously wounded , perfect score. If you judge it on the Gingersnap Scale of Realistic Science I'm gonna say the score was quite low. I definately heard snickering from the nueroscience majors. If you judge it on the Special Effects Scale that is based on percentage of blue people and things-flying-through-the-air, again astonishingly high score. I would not attempt to judge this movie using any standards of dialogue, plot, character development or other such unimportant details, although I give it full marks for blatantly obvious symbols. Stay and watch the clip at the end of the credits. We did. We also stayed in the lobby and loudly discussed all the plot twists for the benefit of the people who hadn't seen it yet.
We are thoughtful. And Meagan walked into a wall.
Tippy got me chapstick that says "I heart me and so does everyone else". It is true. And I got Tippy a certain book taking place in a certain Germania starring a certain Tiwaz and grrr a certain someone who has anger. Haha. We make us laugh.
