The Rundown

Every attempt was made last night to go see bubblesbrnaid. Alas, I was stupid and didn't think to ask what time visiting hours started at the hospital for ICU (ending I managed to ask, starting, no). I got there way too early and was still not the first ones there. Many family members had beaten me to the punch. So I sent in my light reading I'd gathered for her (NASCAR Online articles, the AFI top 100 lines) with a cousin. Will try again Friday night (when hopefully family will have cleared out some).

Serenity tonight! Yay!

(Gotta remember to post the extra ticket on the Browncoats board. With all the folks wanting in, it shouldn't go to waste.)

Watched Ocean's Eleven last night for the first time. An amusing romp. Enjoyable. Ocean's Twelve will be sometime over the weekend.

The Random and the Weird

1. Get your David Hasselhoff paper airplane here! Ganked from stone_princess, because OMG yes! The randomness of a Hasselhoff paper airplane is just too fun. Print one of your own! You know you want to!

2. The head of Grand Prix tells Danica Patrick that women should be like domestic appliances. I'll be over here scratching my head, because what? the fuck? Domestic appliances? I offer up the following as my response to that lunacy: "Yeah, well men are like tools. Totally useless without someone with higher brain function to control them." Dear god. I'm not a militant feminist, but damn if that isn't the freaking weirdest piece of crap ever. Sweeping generalizations to demean my sex? Well then, I'll come back with sweeping generalizations that make you look like a dumbass and prove how stupid sweeping generalizations are altogether.

3. Shane Hmiel suspended through 2007. Whee!

4. Fandom...what? Fandom Love? What the hell happened to Fandom Wank? Please tell me that's the funniest joke ever. It hurts when I get in on the joke after it's already started.

5. Celebrity Idol: When Stars Make Our Ears Bleed Can I hold out hope that David Hasselhoff will try out? Or Bill Clinton? Or...hell, if Anna Nicole Smith wants to try out, I'm for it.

6. Smallville: Things We'd Like To See In Season Five babaojay poses some interesting thoughts about the coming season and prods us to think: what do we want next year? Go. Discuss.

For anyone on LJ

Just in case anyone on my f-list knows someone who'll be in the area...

I have an extra ticket for Serenity tonight in Charlotte, NC. bubblesbrnaid is of course in the hospital, and dragonsinger has early, early plans with her dad tomorrow.

So if anyone knows anyone wanting to go to that location, have them get in contact with me. I've posted on the Browncoats board as well, but so far, no takers. (Considering the demand for this movie, if someone wants a ticket, I don't want to waste one.)

Otherwise I have a feeling we'll be looking for folks outside the theater. LOL

ETA: It has been claimed! Yay! A guy was going to end up standing outside the theater looking, and his friend just happened to see it up on the Browncoats site. Even funnier, the friend is going and is in Greensboro, and they have a friend in marketing who's going. The friend in marketing will be wearing a fannish shirt. Oddly enough I, who work in advertising, will be wearing a fannish shirt.

Word of advice

Don't try reading the Browncoats boards and getting stressed before going to a movie.

Dear. Lord.

Seriously, all the talk of the fact that the movie theater that Serenity will be in being rented, so people can go in and sit early? And that people at 9 or 9:30 can't find seats together? Yeah. It's me and eliz. I will make people move if they try the crap of having one seat here and one seat there on a row. *grumble* Hopefully, the fact that this is a fannish lot means they'll be nice about it all and recognize that everyone is here to see something they love.

I hate being grumpy and worried on what should be a fun day.
