My Day Thus Far
Jun. 16th, 2007 06:10 pmLast night I wanted to watch the first Fantastic 4 movie to get in the mood... so I got ready for bed early and jumped under the covers only to remember that I'd unplugged my Playstation 2 in order to plug in my new DVR. Grr. So I angled my computer monitor towards the bed and sat sideways in bed to watch & read.
Today I woke up at 10am, ate breakfast, then hit the dollar store. They didn't have any mailing envelopes. Growl!
Then I went to the movies! I freakin forgot the little punch card thingy that gives you a free viewing at 10 punches *sigh* ANd then I left my glasses in the car. Ack. But I could see just fine, thankfully. I saw the Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, naturally. LOVED it. Wasn't quite as good as the first movie, but it was definitely adorable and enjoyable. Great moments from all the characters (and oooohhh I love all those boys so much!) and San Lee had another cameo in this one (which made me clap and laugh out loud, actually). Ioan was fantastic... Reed had a pro-nerd speech that rocked my socks. Yes, I'm a nerd, I'm allowed to use awful, outdated phrases like that. LOL Seriously, I loved the movie. Nothing too deep or thought-provoking (there were of course some little themes but nothing new or shocking) but the action was great, the script was good, the characters still really jump off the screen. *happy sigh* Good movie. Going to have to find myself a geeky Reed icon now...
I stopped by the scary mall on the way home and bought some new shirts. According to my 101 things list, I'm supposed to be getting RID of clothes, not buying more. But some of my old ones are fraying or have stains and need to be tossed... but I still need things to wear. I got 5 shirts for $40. Not fantastic but not too bad either.
Then I went to the library. I donated some books, bought 7 used books (one of which is an X-Men novel- this is definitely a good Marvel-filled day), and picked up the first Hornblower book on CD which I'd placed on hold. Squee! Hornblower goodness!
I went to Blockbuster after that and returned The Fountain. I love Hugh Jackman. I love him very, very much. And a movie about immortality? How could I not love it? Ugh. How very wrong I was. Sorry Hugh.
After that I went to Walmart and bought way too much... except I left my list of things to buy at home. Doh! I remembered everything but one thing... which isn't crucial. Ah well. I bought a LOT for my June AnySoldier package including sunscreen, lots of little axe body spray samples, an Adam Sandler DVD, and a BUNCH of water guns because it's hot there and lots of the soldiers like to stay cool by playing with water guns :-)
Ack. So lots of driving around- I finished listening to The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency in the car, actually. But I got a lot of good things and saw a great movie. I feel very accomplished and productive! Now if I can only churn out two more Sirius/Remus fics for that fest with the rest of the day... And maybe watch a few episodes of the Dead Zone and go back to Blockbuster...
