Perfunctory personal update

thebitterguyBusy week, eh? Took a health day on Wednesday to go for a Dr’s appt & a dental cleaning. Both of which were fun experiences, in the ‘not’ sense of the word. I was supposed to go for another blood test (something is still ‘off’, so I’m still in no liquor land), but after no breakfast and then another two hours to the end of my dental appointment, it was mid afternoon and I was too damn hungry to sit in a waiting room for another two hours.
Since Thursday game was called off, went to see Serenity with Cynra & Valerie last night. Still enjoyable, and watched for many different things (Mal’s “Guess we gotta innoc before we land”, Jayne’s hat, etc). Good film, will definitely get it when the DVD’s out. Seems a shame Universal decided to play all sorts of reindeer games with promotion (Hey, we'll get the FANS to publicize it!), instead of handling it properly.
Jackson’s King Kong looks good. It’s been a queen’s age since I saw either of the previous versions, so I don’t really recall, but were either of them close to 3 hours long? The trailer seems to indicate that the majority of the film takes place on Candy Apple Island, too. Except for the openning (all Black, baby!) and a car toss. And that lovely picture![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
papajoemambo had in his lj a couple days ago.
Getting prepped for Halo 2 tomorrow. We’ll be operating on two TVs for the first hour and a bit, but that’s fine. I figure for dinner entertainment we’ll watch the first episode of Lost.
Still don’t know where I can acquire a small Guy Fawkes effigy, much less some firecrackers.

Fireworks?

Um. Well, you get the idea, anyway.
