Ho ho ho, yo
Dec. 24th, 2004 01:32 amChristmas has already been extremely good to me, if not extremely well done on my part. I went to see "Ocean's 12" with Heddy, finally, but forgot to bring Carrie's gift from home with me, and, since she opted not to come with to home with me (I guess I don't compare to a massage from new boy slave),I guess she doesn't get the main part of it until next week. Which is a shame, seeing as I wrapped what had arrived right away instead of waiting for the last piece. I'll figure something out--something that doesn't involve re-wrapping, tho. I also, idiot that I am, got Lisa a 2004 calendar instead of a 2005. She went ahead and opened it because I promised to get her a 2005 version of it, but the magic was lost. I thought she'd find the cross-stitch-a-day calendar rather lovely, and to get it wrong like that, have the surprise be ruined and the cuteness of it sullied...well, a 2005 one doesnt fix it. So, I've gotten her something else I hope she'll like.
It's just that these failures are compounded by the late arrival of my sister's gift, which I sent out in the mail today, as well as the failure on the other half of her gift, which was a full not widescreen version of "Love Actually." Sigh. If her fiance's film had been fullscreen, I would have demanded a different copy, especially after the fuss related to "Tomb Raider 2;" I'm still worried I'll be teased for getting Dana a fullscreen movie, even if he's impressed by my mad skillz locating a copy of a movie he couldn't (it wasn't that hard, I wonder why he was having trouble).
One thing I *did* get right, as I discovered tonight, was Heddy's gift. I bought her "The Recruit," a decent if average thriller with Colin Farrell nearly naked at parts, and that's all that really matters right there. I remember her saying she liked it a while back, and fortunately, she didn't have it. I told her I could return it, but either she did not in fact have it or she didn't want to trouble me (she gave me a gift receipt with my gift, "The Bourne Supremacy," the last movie we saw together before "The Incredibles" and "Ocean's 12"). We had a good time gogging at Christian Bale in the "Batman Begins" trailer(I swooned, she swooned when I told her who it was), mocking the "Constantine" trailer, and otherwise being noisier than usual because the theater was empty but for two other people. Movie was, meh, average, but enjoyable. Certainly, it had its share of HOTT! men, which was all it needed.
The best part was the ride home: I showed Heddy a poster for "Blade: Trinity" that I'd been eye-balling earlier that day because it was the big bus-stop version of the individual character posters, and this one had, you guessed it, Frank Stallone...erm, I mean, Ryan Reynolds. Heddy came along for her expertise as a former vandal (her friends nabbed one of these before). I'd taken a look at it earlier, in the rain, no less, to see if it were at all budgeable, but someone was waiting there. Heddy agreed that, while the guy's not that good-looking, his body is good enough for her, too. And the poster? Well, eh heh heh...
