To look forward to an event, literally all year, and have it entirely live up to those expectations is an incredible feat. And it does happen, every single year ( Read more... )

So it ACTUALLY HAPPENED. I got to go to the movies with Vanessa! Better still, WE HAD THE WHOLE THEATER TO OURSELVES. Evidently, the final showing of Hell Fest at 4:40 in the afternoon was not a popular destination. Just as well, because we took the opportunity to snark at the movie the entire time. It was really fun, and so unlike my usual theater ( Read more... )

So Vanessa wanted to see a horror movie for Halloween -- for the aforementioned movie DATE, emphasis DATE, of the last entry. This Tuesday, though, she said in an email that she worried the movie she was hoping for, Hell Fest, would not be in theaters by the time the 31st rolls around.

Even better, she asked me if I wanted to meet up sometime next week. Hell fucking yes I do. It's crazy, going from sappy and emotional, deciding to finally send one last email to her I'd been putting off, fearing that this long silence meant she didn't want to hear from me--and ( Read more... )

After proof that MoviePass does, indeed, work again, I decided to see another photoplay yesterday. This time, the Approved Selection featured Mission Impossible: Fallout, so I said sure, I heard it was a good action movie. I didn't see the previous Impossible Mission, but long character arcs and a rich mythology aren't really what I expect from ( Read more... )

Hung out with Demi last night, finally able to deliver her birthday present: a t-shirt of wolves howling at the moon, except they're not wolves, they're porgs. And they're not so much howling as looking at the moon in innocent wonder ( Read more... )

My last remaining free birthday treat (thanx, corporations) was a pair of cookies from Quick Chek ( Read more... )
