First 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] 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 get [livejournal.com profile] caitirin 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, as [livejournal.com profile] dakegra 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 to [livejournal.com profile] ketsuki! Joy and Pocky to you ^_^ ]

[edit the second: I declair it "Stabby!Anthy icon time."]

Yep, he was leading the X-Men and teaching the trainees while Xavier was in space getting his thing on with alien empresses. He would later lose it and become a villain again, attempting to forge a nation through intimidation and violence, but for a while he was pretty sane.

I just found out that we're supposed to be taking you to Becca and Jason's wedding, so is it okay if we pick you up at 10 on Saturday at your house? We have to get your friend the photographer at that time too, and we're getting her at the Citizen's bank.

I was originally going to arrange to go with you and Kurt, but I have no problems w/ switching that. I'll see you and [livejournal.com profile] caitirin at around 10am. I'll just need room in your trunk for my stereo...it won't take up much room.

Sure, we moved stuff around last weekend, so we've got lots of space now :) I think Tanya and Kurt have the tent stuff, and that was why they weren't sure they'd have room for another passenger.
