I waited 1.5 hours and all I got was this lousy taste in the back of my throat

Erm, that tag sounded dirtier than I intended for this post. I only meant that I got the H1N1 vaccination finally. I got the nasal vaccine. No big, just that after a few minutes, the liquid sort of works down the back of your nose and you can taste something that's just barely there enough to notice.

But ugh, I was up so early to get the clinic at 8 am sharp. I had to stop and meet my Dad and one of my younger sisters, who needed the vaccine, too. We got there, were the first people to get it, and still waited and hour and a half. Sheesh. And tonight is one of many marathon nights of testing for my experiment for class. It's going to be a loooooong day.

Things that make Trinity go "EEEEEEEE!!!!!!"

IRON MAN 2 POSTER!!!!!!!!!!!

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP I LOVE IT AND I'M ALREADY IN LINE. I'LL SEE YOUR FANNISH DEVOTION, TWI-HARDS, AND RAISE YOU FIFTY MILLION TIMES!

Okay, er, sorry, that got away from me. My friend H recently gave me my months-overdue birthday gift, which was the 2-disc Iron Man DVD set. Which is fucking awesome, in case that squealing above didn't tip you off to how I feel about it.

What helps me to be excited, beyond the fact that Iron Man was pretty much astonishingly perfect for an action/comic book movie, is that everything about it screams quality. Okay, maybe not the poster they went with for the theatrical release. That was crap. But there is so much love everywhere else. I mean, look at the teaser poster for the first movie. I first saw that one of the light boxes at a theater and could not stop staring. (Naturally, I acquired a copy ASAP.) Everything about the movie looked this good, too. It just did.

AND NOW THE SEQUEL POSTER IS OUT AND ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG. I love the contrast, too, between the shadowy-but-squeaky-clean teaser for the first movie and the brazen sturm-and-drang-with-dirty robots of the second one. Pathetic fallacy says what!?

Another thing that makes me want to die for laughing with maniacal glee: they're making a Pride and Prejudice and Zombies miniseries. I think this is the right venue for this degree of silliness. It's not film-quality material. It's SyFy Channel stuff. Although, I doubt anything could compete, silliness-wise, with that That Mitchell and Webb Look P&P parody. Still, eee!
