trinityvixenI just saw a still from the next Twilight movie, with Robert Pattison in a tux. Presumably (SPOILERS) this is from the impending wedding in that movie. More than anything else I've seen from those movies, that one shot made me gag the hardest. I may be physically ill.
Other things that have happened/are happening:
-I dropped off the dyspeptic hard drive to see if the data on it could be recovered. Waiting on a phone call now to hear what the damage could be. My coworker was insistent that I not take the iMac on the subway because I could be robbed. She's lived in NYC for years, and she still thinks that would happen. She said I should take a taxi and get reimbursed (a process that, at its fastest, takes 6-8 weeks). It was all a moot point, however, when I got downstairs with the computer to find I'd left my wallet at home. Psyched out now about the subway, I decided to take the bus. One-and-a-half-hours-later...
-I'm under-studied for my GRE (next weekend!), so I might take off days next week to just cram it all in my head. My testing so far shows that the math is cake for the most part, except where I don't slow down and pay attention enough. Time to do a few timed practice tests to prove to myself that I can slow down a little and still finish. Mostly, I need to practice the test-taking. I don't really need to worry about the material. (I hope.)
-It's fairly cool today. I wonder if that will hold out for a while. Would be nice, especially after the humidity wave last weekend. I was upstate last weekend, and I cannot remember ever being at the drive-in and being hot. Usually, no matter how hot the day, it cools down considerably at night such that we bring blankets and our warmest clothes there and always use them. This time, I was sweating like mad, even in my thinnest layers. Perhaps it was fevered reaction to seeing the fourth Pirates movie, which I cannot say was WORSE than the third one, but which is certainly not substantially better, much less good. Kung Fu Panda 2 was adorable, though. I cannot believe someone found a way to animate Gary Oldman's CRAZY EYES (TM), but they did. He also did a phenomenal voice acting job. I wonder how many of his lines he ad-libbed or if they specifically wrote the part for him because the character was Gary Oldman. If, you know, he was a murderous albino ninja peacock.
And that's all she wrote.

Date: 2011-06-03 03:36 pm (UTC)I also don't know how to process good reviews for X-Men. Then again, I didn't know how to process good reviews for Thor and that worked out okay. Keep me in the loop?
