2008-Jul-29, Tuesday 12:49 pmMovie night last Saturday was good…but also somewhat disappointing. It was fun because Ryan and Celeste showed up, but when I went to work Monday and everyone asked how it went…and I said only two people showed (out of the 20 I invited), everyone was kinda like “Awww, that sucks!” and I was like…”Yeah….but we still had fun.” So it was sorta disappointing that no one else joined in the fun, but it didn’t stop us from having our own fun. We watched/made fun of King Arthur. I think they were kinda confused, since this version is actually based on historical facts as opposed to the Arthurian legends. I have a habit of judging the work by itself as opposed to by anything else (i.e. I loved Lord of the Rings and admire the work that Weta did because it was pretty amazing in and of itself, even a lot of it doesn’t keep with Tolkien’s story). The movie was pretty awesome when you consider that the men who played the knights actually did their own riding, fighting, stunts and, well, everything. It’s just really impressive. The story wasn’t too bad either...even if so many people did end up dying =..= It was kinda funny, when I knew the love scene between Guinevere and Arthur was coming up, I told Celeste, “We’re gonna have to fast forward in a minute. There’s a scene coming up that I’m not old enough to watch.” They kinda looked at me and laughed like, “…what?!”.
Of course, I spent most of the morning/afternoon Saturday cleaning. I totally forgot to take a few pills of mine, and I was mostly preoccupied with either the coming party or planning in my head for Mecha Con (end of this week!!). Sunday morning, I woke up an hour and a half before my alarm clock was set to get me up and ready for Church. I rushed downstairs and had diarrhea so bad. I ended up having it four times before my alarm clock went off...needless to say, when that little alarm did go off, I slapped it off and curled up on my side for more sleep. Sunday was spent, mostly sleeping the morning away. I think I finally got up...around 11:30. I’m pretty sure I read, but that’s just what I usually do when I’m not feeling well. I can’t actually tell you what it was I did all Sunday afternoon. I don’t remember it at all. Whatever it was, it was fairly insignificant.
I do know that I started watching Supernatural again that evening after my shower. I just revisited the episodes that I liked in seasons 1 and 2. There was a part in Season 2, the Episode The Usual Suspects...at the end of the episode, Dean says, “Does she look familiar to you?” referring to the female cop that’s been helping Sam out all episodes long. Sam responds with a no. Dean states that he swears he’s seen her somewhere before. Then he states “For some reason I could go for some pea soup.” I never really understood that, so I went online and looked up the episode. Turns out the cop lady is played by Linda Blair…..best known for her work in The Exorcist ^..^ Anyone else fall over laughing? I know I did. Thank you, Super-Wiki. Oh, and thanks to my curiousity, I found out that season 3 of Supernatural will be available on DVD September 2, and the fourth season is going to premier September 18th. Yayness!!
Monday was so freakin’ long. Seriously. The monotony was interrupted a couple of times by Reiko. She called one time (and when I saw it was her calling, I flipped open my phone and said “What!!”. Everyone in the office turned to look at me like O..O’), asking me to please search Entertainment Weekly’s web site for a “spoiler alert” on the new Breaking Dawn book coming out (August 2!!!). She called again asking if I wanted her to come Thursday right after she got off of work. I told her yes, and she asked if she could wash clothes at my house. I told her it wouldn’t be a problem, in fact she could go over before I got in (since she gets off of work at 3 and I get off at 6….it’ll take her about an hour and 45 minutes to get there, but that gives her plenty of time to wash clothes and goof off and such).
I took a look at the (finally) finalized schedule for Mecha Con. Even though pre-registration starts at 11:30 a.m., walk-in registration starts at 1 (when the con floor opens up for everyone), and by the time I realized I’d be taking Reiko with me, pre-registration had closed. So, I’m actually planning on leaving the house around 9/9:30ish and getting there around 12 (I can get my registration stuff and wait in line with Reiko). Of course, I received my confirmation from the “Hilton Family”, and noticed that the check-in time was 4:00 p.m. “??? Quoi?” I called the hotel and asked if I could get an earlier check-in time, and they informed me that was the generic check-in time, and if I got there earlier that they could try to see if a room was ready for me…then I remembered that they did this to us the last time we went to Mecha Con. It’s like, they know the Con starts early, so if you’re not a day early then you have to show up and ask if there are any rooms available, then they can give you a room that isn’t covered by the convention rate. It’s such a bother. So, we’re just gonna leave our stuff in the car till 3/3:30ish and hang out at the Con till it’s time to check in (I guess. I don’t know if there’s anything else we can do).
Tomorrow, I’m gonna be getting my packing on, organizing everything and getting ready for Reiko’s sleepover and then I’m going to town for things I need. I need to find out what type of sandwich meat and cereal Reiko likes, too. Gotta put Zeiss on to charge...Definitely planning on taking the cam-corder for this ^..^ /thinking. I don’t know if there’s anything else I need to do...just pack and organize what I want to take and when. Oh, I need to check with Scamp and see if she still wants to come back with us on Sunday.......I have to take my “Vs. A Leo” shirt, if only because I’m hoping to go to the Vs. A Leo panel again. I think that’s all though. Gosh, I’m just so …anxious I guess. I don’t pretend to think this con is any better than what I remember last time, it’s just…something that breaks the norm and gives me some time to goof off with Reiko. And since we both might be moving out of state soon, it’s a good thing to have…I’m probably a little more anxious than normal if only because it’s the first big trip I’ll be going on that Mom won’t be with me. Seems a little sad...but that’s life.
Well, I got things to do. Lunch is almost over too =..= Damn relativity. Talk to ya’ll later, Sunshines.
