elabyFirst day of Nano's count is at 2,500 something words, and I'm excited about writing, which is more than I can say about last November! Also, for the first time since 2003, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caitirin and I stayed up until midnight on the first so we could start RIGHT then. We went for about an hour and a half and then collapsed into bed.
Yesterday was filled with all sorts of excitement, such as a trip to the Federal Building to getcaitirin some necessary financial aid objects, lunch at Flatbread with the best pizza EVER (seriously), some grocery shopping, and then X-Men 3 *tempted to use the :3 face because that's what X3 reminds her of*
The movie was really cool. I realized about fifteen minutes into it, however, that I'd never seen the second movie... which posed a bit of a problem, since I had no idea what everyone was so upset about ^^;; We rented the first two last night and watched the second one, so things made more sense in light of that. I have very little knowledge of the comic, so I have some questions for those in the know:
- Why is Charles Xavier in a wheelchair? This may have been explained in the first movie, but I don't remember much of THAT, either. I'll be watching it tonight, though.
- Why isn't Gambit in the movies? Was there ever any explanation for this?
- What's up with Erik's concentration-camp-like number tattoo?
- Are Charles and Erik not everyone's favorite older Shakespearean actor OTP, or what? (slightly rhetorical question)
Anyway, I really liked X3. There were, asdakegra pointed out, plenty of plot holes (omg alliteration) but I really enjoyed it nonetheless. I also think the last 2 seconds of the film were BRILLIANT. And of course, the stay-through-the-credits bit :)
Now to work! I want to post Auber sometime today.
[edit: And happy birthday toketsuki! Joy and Pocky to you ^_^ ]
[edit the second: I declair it "Stabby!Anthy icon time."]
