*eyes boggle at the calendar*
Went to Deathly Hallows Part One late on saturday night. Cons about this include:
-Alone.
-Gaggles of teenagers who were more annoying that usual.
-It was after a day at work, so I wasn’t really feeling the People Love much.
-I should’ve been asleep.
-I spent all day Sunday in a fuge state after having been woken by the rising sun at 6.30 and the risen sun at 8.
Pros about this include:
-I went because I wanted to, not because somebody made me feel guilty or like I had to or whatever.
-Sometimes it’s good to get gussied up for yourself (or the cutie at the ticket counter, alone with just a book).
-Skittles at midnight!
-Fun people next to and in front of me made pre-film time entertaining.
-I got in a nap beforehand, so that was a nice excuse for an evening nap.
I have, of course, Things To Say about the film itself, but they shall have to wait for a second viewing.

Found a job opening a place where I used to work and my boss kicked ass and he knows where I work now and everyone’s all ‘network opportunity, network opportunity,’ but I’m all ‘look where I left him to go be and look where I am now and I don’t have an excuse like a military husband or child or sick parent or anything’ and everyone else is all ‘if he was such an awesome boss, he’ll get it’ and I’m just all ‘uh, but, um . . .’ which is why I was at the website in the first place, for his e-mail to ask for a reference and see if he had any leads.

Am absolutely gaga for Mumford & Son. I mean, a band who nabs lyrics from Beatrice and Benedick can leave crumbs in my bed any damn day of the week. And they sing of love as something I would love to experience in the way they describe it, rather than the way I see it and remember it and fear it to be.

Today was dead for the Day Before Thanksgiving. Dinner tomorrow isn't until 6 so there will be much writing (I promise), much dvd taping (I promise, mom!), some Christmas-ifying and maybe even some cleaning. And hopefully some sleeping.
