avengers: endgame tickets went on sale this morning i successfully managed to get two for myself and my sister for the saturday it opens, despite all the amc theaters making you wait. how does it take an hour to buy movie tickets online? i guess amc was unprepared for the number of people who would be trying to buy tickets all at the same time.

the first trailer for the last avengers movie is finally out and i am not emotionally prepared for the actual movie. when it dropped i couldn't watch it with sound because i was at work, but i don't think it made a difference. i still wished there was at least one other fangirl at work i could squee and flail with. i don't have anything deep or ( Read more... )

yesterday i was an hour late to work because there was just that much traffic. what the hell, boston. and then it took an hour longer to get home, which involved taking a subway and then a bus i don't normally take, ironically enough because i was trying to avoid all the delays. >.< i had to walk a few blocks home but at least the sidewalks were ( Read more... )

i feel like i was super productive today but i'm not sure why. i actually started writing my bigbang from the beginning - which means i started writing it in earnest, rather than just randomly jotting down occasional bits and pieces - and i went to the mall to get the oil changed in my car and find keds, and i got groceries, and i ate the broccoli ( Read more... )

coworker d was out today so the new admin sat at reception so i could sit at my own desk again. (yay!) and then i had to print and bind a shit-ton of reports. (nineteen copies, twenty-four copies, eighty-nine copies. EIGHTY-NINE. which may or may not sound like much, but they took about an hour just to print, and then it was time to go home ( Read more... )
