Day of running behind; weekend of movies

tarotgalBusy day. Woke up at 5am, fed cat and went back to sleep. Went to library to volunteer but was a little late because Max decided he no longer wants to eat normal food. Plus my tummy was hurting. Gah. Picklist took a little longer than uaul, but I finished just before noon. I drove to the Party store by the mall (not the one closer to where I live) because I needed something I'd only seen there. Then I went to the dollar store for a birthday card. I got home in just enough time to feed Max, feel myself, and then leave to go to my ex-co-worker's birthday party. I got there 8 minutes late, but I was still the first to arrive, because I'm one of those crazy people who don't get places fashionably late; I'm not fashionable. Anyway, I left there after about an hour and a half, which was 30 minutes later than I'd planned on leaving, but I was having fun. I went home and fed Max stuff he shouldn't be eating but wants to eat. Then I left for a park where we were having a DADA meetup. I knew I'd be late, but I ended up not getting there until 2 and a half hours after the meetup started, just as everyone was finishing eating. Gah. We talked awhile and then went inside to talk to the snake a little (as you do). I just hate running late to things, and to be late all day long.. ugh. But that's what happens when you schedule things not just back-to-back but overlapping.
In other news, i created another group on swap-bot--this one for slash fans. Squee. I'm definitely going to have some fun with that.
I watched Cabin in the Woods last night. I don't like horror movies, but I respect the genre and I thought it did a great job both fitting in and standing out among others of its kind. I watched it because of Joss. It was great seeing so many Joss actors in it. I can't wait to see Much Ado About Nothing. I'm sad I missed it in theaters, but I'll be buying it on DVD anyway, so ti's just as well.
I have three Academy Award nominee movies in front of me, but I chose instead to watch Young Adult. It was good but not great. Made me a little sad. And I kind of lusted after Patton Oswalt a little bit. So, naturally, I had to re-watch Bear City. Man, I love that movie a WHOLE LOT more than I should. LOL After that, i watched The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green, which had its moments but was overall not so stupendous. I did really dig the scene at 18:08 where the lead actor sneezes and they adlib awkwardly around it for a few beats before resuming the script. And he announces it, too, which is SO my favorite.
Tomorrow I go see The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones with my meetup group. We're going out afterward to discuss the book vs. movie. Should be fun times. The actors are not remotely what I picture in my head, so I have no expectations or dillusions about it. I just hope to not be late to it!
Going to bed now. My throat is killing me, which is a BAD sign. I'm either getting sick or I'm exhausted and haven't had a proper sleep in two weeks. Given that the latter is in fact true, I'm hoping that the former is not.
