Talk to the bomb...

First off, Shock & Awe was fantastic. Dark Star was/is possibly the most hilarious sci-fi movie I have seen in a while. On every internet communications medium I have written, 'talk to the bomb. Teach it phenomenology.' And now you know what it's from. I want a shirt that says that. /obscure?

Though, as usual, post-Shock & Awe had me working for eleven hours -- on top of the thirteen I spent watching the movies. Yes, that's 24+ hours at the Theatre with no sleep. I still think it was worth it -- even if I spent all of last night with a high fever and a horrible headache (at work again). I think (I hope) I've slept it off today. Went to bed at eleven last night and didn't officially wake up until around 2pm.

I'm still looking at apartments online even though the official move date is not going to be until this coming February. I really can't help it. And I keep finding these gorgeous places that are within my spending limit that will probably be gone by then. It's both frustrating and satisfying. I want to paint and decorate.

I took my cat Locke (or Lockeheed, if I'm trying to comfort her) to the Vet last Monday for her shots... which I should have done years ago but was a very bad pet-owner. I feel much better about taking care of her now and want to do everything I can to keep her happy and healthy. That's another reason why I can't wait until February -- it will be nice to see her nightly and I know that Aaron will spoil her rotten. He loves cats.

I think that's pretty much it for me today. I'm just trying to kill time until Aaron comes home from work.

While...

I wait on my episode of CSI to load, I am going to pimp out my theatre to any of you fine folks happening upon my blog.

First off, you can find it here: Fox Theatre.
Or, read somethings about movies and stuff here: Barely updated.
Hell, you could join the Facebook group if you'd like (and hear about all of our fantastic movies and events: This is it.)

But that's not why I'm here. I'm here to tell you about the coolest, most awesome movie experience ever (for all time). And that, my friends, would be SHOCK & AWE: The ultimate grindhouse experience. For those of you who follow me on Twitter, you will know by now that I am storing energy and trying to get enough sleep (which is hard with the work-week I've had) to last all night again. Yes, again. Five months ago we had the first with Dead Alive headlining -- and this time... oh, this time we've got Toxic Avenger! Not to mention some horror, some blaxploitation, and some porn. Also! For the first time ever a secret movie that will be revealed at approximately 3am (I know what it is, but that would ruin the fun).

So, if you're bored Saturday night and feel like staying up all night watching sleazy, creepy, hilarious, and often nauseating movies come on by! (You can find us at the corner of Beech and Queen East). The show starts at 11:30pm and goes all the way till the next morning (ending at around 11am give or take).

/End pimping.

Already falling behind...

I'm really bad at this blogging thing.

Okay, so, starting at Halloween.
I went out with Aaron to the Done Right Inn on Queen West with my sister. It's pretty much the regular family bar. But in an odd family way. In the all of us have had some sort of sexual relationship with at least one person there (and, occasionally the same person) way. Aaron went as a priest, and I last-second changed my costume to a Catholic school girl. It was just too good to pass up.
I then got more drunk than I have been in a very long time, I lost my shoes somewhere and didn't actually stop being drunk until sometime in the wee hours of Sunday morning (where I was awakened by the need to throw up for a few hours -- it was horrible).

After the weekend, I worked a lot. Like I do.

Yesterday Dave, Aaron, Neil and I started play testing D&D 4E -- which is fantastic. I missed playing RPG's so very badly. Aaron is a Eladrian Wizard, Neil's a Dragonborn Paladin, and I am an Elven Ranger (I know, not the most original race/class combo -- but I do insane amounts of damage which is Awesome).

Otherwise I am excitedly anticipating February, and sooner than that, this Saturday for the Fox Theatre's Shock & Awe late night to early morning Grindhouse film festival.
