Thank ye, thank ye very much!
Okay.
My girlfriend's okay, and it's been a while, so I'm cooled down enough to write a little more. Not about that, but about the good things which happened before (Christmas) and after (mostly tonight) the incident which took place late at night on Christmas day (pardon the obvious lack of linguistic finesse, I'm tired).
Christmas was pretty decent, got some great stuff and had a lot of fun. Christin's brother, Josh, spent the day with my family and I felt sort of sorry for him. Aside from my parents and I, none of my family got him anything, and so obviously not many gifts went his way in comparison to the others (my aunt, my cousins, my uncles, and whatnot all were there).
Since everyone has been doing it on their LJs, I'll now give a brief list of what I got:
* Pirates of the Caribbean dvd
* Great Teacher Onizuka boxed set
* A Ferret 2004 calendar
* A copy of Rhapsody (a fantasy novel)
* Filmmaking for Dummies
* A model pistol (in PotC style)
* Vodka! (came in handy the next day, too, believe me)
* Fists of Fury (old Bruce Lee movie!)
Then around 11PM on Christmas I got the stressful call and whatnot, but she's doing better as I mentioned before. New Years was good. Uneventful, but good.
And then there was tonight. Me, Karl, Christin, and Dustin all went to see Bubba Ho-Tep. What's that? It's the new Bruce Campbell film, and the director was at this screening talking about the movie, about Bruce, and signing autographs.
It's about Elvis, living in a retirement home where a mummy has begun harvesting the souls of the old people. Bruce is, obviously, an inspired Elvis. And the climactic showdown with the mummy is very awesome. The writing is both witty and intelligent, especially for a parody film, and shows a level of care not common in films (one scene in particular, where the mummy has written something on the mens room wall about Cleopatra, is hilarious).
So, go see it! It's playing at The Loft, and is easily the best thing in a theatre right now!
Now I'd just like to say something that may or may not have been clear before to others, and perhaps not to the person that matters most. It also was something I didn't quite see, until the terrible thing which has happened. I love you, Alexia. I love you very much.
