This evening, mum and I went to a Human Rights Campaign event at an acquaintance's house, then met up with Dad to see "The Day After Tomorrow." You know, most people are skeptical about the outrageous bad science that dominates the movie's plot, but I found even more egregious the insinuation that the movie's vice president's appearance and demeanor were similar to that of Dick Cheney, yet at the end of the movie, he admits he was wrong! Who do those writers think they're fooling? XD

I guess I'd better go ahead and recap what's been going on the past few days.

1. I met Kell! She came to Dallas for A-Kon. My parents and I took her and her father to dinner Thursday night, before PoA. I got a sneak preview of the next issue of Sundowner! It's going to be so awesome. *loves* She even drew a tiger for me in my little book!
   
2. Where was I when I found out Reagan died? On the way to pick up Kell and her dad for dinner. We happened to drive past a bank and I saw the flags outside at half mast and inquired to my parents about it. They told me. I need to get back in the habit of listening to Air America.
   
3. I actually saw PoA twice, once at midnight with the A-Kon people, Kell, and the usual crowd from my grade in high school, and the other the next morning, with Mimi and Tori and the usual crowd from their year. Crazy fun ensued! At midnight, I had the intention of being a Mary Sue, but when I saw the wig Kell brought for me (she uses it to Cosplay as Galadriel), I thought I would make a decent Fleur. Of course, the wig had the unfortunate side effect of making me look like a particularly inexpensive streetwalker. Fun. The next morning, I dressed as Percy, complete with Weasley sweater (*sob*), glasses (*double sob*), wand (paint brush), and sprayed red hair. Pictures will be posted soon, despite my claims that they would be up Friday afternoon.
   
4. I've watched several Buffy episodes over the past couple days (I am so hooked), and it's so keen! In the episode I'm watching now, Buffy is wearing sheep pajamas THAT I OWN. And in another episode, Willow wears a shirt with a map of Africa on the sleeves THAT MY MOM OWNS AND I FREQUENTLY BORROW. We are so cool!
   
5. (No, you're not.) Wow, I've become more reliant on my blog than I was aware. I was trying to think of what else I've done ove the past few days, and I went to look at my recent posts to see if I had written about anything. I am such a dork. XD
   
6. Oh! Duh! Burkhead's coming out party! I knew there was something of vital importance that was slipping my mind! Burkhead came out Saturday night! And that is, as a debutante; not as a homosexual. XD Her dress was utterly gorgeous, and she was the height of poise and general awesomeness. Go her!

Meanwhile, this is amusing. Oh, Ashcroft! And oooh, Sean Astin was wearing two Kerry stickers at the MTV movie awards! Hobbits for Kerry! To go along with "Aragorn is Howard Dean" and Mutants for Kerry, inspired by my costume and purse buttons at A-Kon. Bwaha.

P.S. CANNONEST CANON THAT EVER CANNONED DOWN CANON STREET. I LOVE YOU, CUARON.
