jetpack_monkeyHad a site and couldn't feed her.
I ended up posting two reviews to Classic-Horror last night and labeling one for Sunday and one for today (usually the Sunday review would go up Saturday night). This is my exciting life folks.
Actually, I had a pretty busy weekend. Saturday night, I tagged along to a showing of Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D (which was completely awesome, although I felt woozy after as my eyes got used to not refocusing every second). They even had a classic Pixar short redone in 3D beforehand. I loved it.
After we went to Gameworks. Played a lot of shooters, fighting games, and one racing game, followed by a binge at the ticket-spitters (where I proved definitively that tall men can completely suck at basketball, as I had my ass handed to me by a woman over a foot shorter than I).
My arcade harlot that night, however, was the DVD machine. You had to hit a button just as a flashy light passed by a certain point and it would give you the DVD associated with that flashy light. The first couple of times I tried, I just wanted to win. For that, I was punished with Hilary Duff's A Cinderella Story (which I handed off to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
midnightfae who may yet forgive me). My next win, after about five tries, was one I specifically targeted for winning -- Nanny McPhee. I'm a giant Emma Thompson geek, y'see. Colin Firth is just icing on the cake.
Then, yesterday, the NaNo kickoff party which was a nice mix of fun, friends, and technical geekery. Hung out with my old supe, who has since moved on to technical consulting. At some fried chicken and had someone tell me all about technical concepts above my head. Fun fun fun. I guess I have to learn Python now or something.
Anyway. Back to the grind.
