This evening, I knitted and watched Mary Poppins - which I haven't seen in forever. And it's still as fun and magical as when I was little.

I saw Voyage of the Dawn Treader tonight and it was awesome. I have yet to read the book, but now I'm really looking forward to it.

Two things, though:
1) Every time I see Aslan, I cry.
2) I ship Caspian/Edmund like you wouldn't believe.


And I saw a preview for Drive Angry. (A new Nicholas Cage movie.) ... Yeah, my standards are set really, really low for that one.

But I will probably go see it because
a) I find action hero!Nicholas Cage fascinating.
b) William Fichtner's going to be the villian!!! :-D

I totally made up for not writing yesterday. Today I wrote 3200 words. Easily. \O/ I'm starting to think that some calculations I was making to actually make my NaNo wordcount might actually work.

This afternoon I saw Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D. It wasn't nearly as cheesy as I was expecting, which was nice. And the 3D part of it was cool. An added bonus was the audience's reactions to everything - the gasps and laughs and comments and all.

I also finished season 2 of Doctor Who today. For most of the second half, I was giggling because I found the Daleks and the Cybermen going at it to be rather amusing. But Rose and the Doctor's parting was sad. I do like that they went to Pete's world, though. And I like the changes that world has had on Mickey.

I had to laugh at work today. I was ringing up a girl's purchase and she says, "Are you a theatre major?" I replied, "Yes." (Well, I was!) And she says, "I thought you looked familiar. I think we had a winter session class together."

I forget how I answered that, mainly because I was trying not to laugh. Because the last time I took a winter session class? Was a few years ago. (And it feels weird saying that.)

Tonight, e_dog and I went out with a friend of mine and a few of her friends to see Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. Overall, I really liked it, though there were a few moments where I felt they were being a little too liberal in their usage of the phrase "based on the novel".

Yeah, you know it's probably time to go to bed when you hear "Minas Morgol" from the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King soundtrack on your Pandora playlist and your first thought is "Attack of the Flying Monkeys!"

But I want to finish up this one scene and maybe start the next one first. I've been writing for about 11 days straight now. I think this is a new record for me. (Well, recently, anyway.)

I'm taking a personal day tomorrow and my dad and I are going to the beach. Yay, beach! My dad was bugging me about finding out if I could earlier this week and I was like, "What part of 'My boss is out of the office and I have to wait for her to email me back' don't you understand?" But, again, yay beach!

I went and saw Hairspray again tonight. This time with my friend Sharon. She'd wanted to see it and we'd wanted to get together for a while. Plus, she wanted to "pay me back" for when we had gotten together this past spring. So we went to dinner and then the movie.

And I'm still in love with James Marsden. And I forgot to mention before that there's one point where he's wearing a purple suit and, damn, he actually makes it look really good. And prior to this movie, I hadn't known that he's a trained singer. Here's one of his songs from the movie - Nicest Kids in Town. And here's one that he did when he was on "Ally McBeal" - Always on My Mind.

The funniest thing just happened. Regina and Susannah were watching Meet Joe Black on tv and at the end, before William Parrish (Anthony Hopkins) and Joe Black (Brad Pitt) exit, they're talking while watching a party thrown in Parrish's honor from a distance and there's a lull in the conversation and they just look at each other. It's a wide camera shot and you can see the starry sky and the fireworks in the background. And Susannah goes, "Duh, duh, duuuh. And now they're gonna kiss." Which sent me and Regina into hysterical laughter. This is a girl who, when she first got introduced to slash was "Eeewww" (after asking if one of Regina's pictures was of two guys [a screengrab of Curt and Brian from Velvet Goldmine] while we were talking about slashfic).

Okay, so now for stuff since the last time I updated.

I turned 21. And no - I haven't gone drinking yet. Haven't had time. So if anyone wants to take me out or give me alcohol, be my guest.

And I'm going to LA!!! I'm so excited! I get to see all my Shelter friends again (or at least most of them) and meet some new people (including some of the cast and crew of "Buffy" and "Angel"). I can't wait for February!

Travesties went *really* well. I'm really happy about it. We have a few more shows in December and my whole family's coming on Dec. 5th. And I mean everyone - both my parents, my grandparents, and my brother. And John's even coming. (Although he's not exactly a part of the family.) And Nathan (one of the actors) is so cute - whenever I tell him that he did a great job with a performance, he starts blushing and gets a little flustered and embarrassed. Went to a cast/crew party at Jewel's (the director) house this Wednesday, which was a lot of fun. And after the party, Jewel and Marj made Nathan take me home. I don't live very far from them, but they wouldn't let me leave without knowing that he was driving me home.

And I'm upset! "MDs" hasn't been shown since the Halloween episode. I hope it doesn't get cancelled.

I have this huge audio project due after Thanksgiving that I have to do on the computer, which I'm really worried about, but things are going good for it. M.A. (another actor) just offered to help without me even asking - which was an answer to a prayer that I haven't even asked - which was great. Hopefully I won't screw anything up too badly.

Last Thursday was the dining halls' Thanksgiving dinner. Ended up eating dinner with Dan and some of his friends. It was as a lot of fun. Even got some compliments about my faith - which is cool, since I don't even remember ever saying or doing anything around him, aside from wear my "God Wars" shirt.

Went and saw Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on Sunday night with Regina and Beth - which was fun. And I'm still not gonna read the books!
