Flans: Check out Browncoat Jacqueline Passey‘s blog for details. She has a listing with links to the theatres and whether or not there are still tickets available. And here‘s the official website for the advance screenings, CantStopTheSignal.com. It still says May 5th, but it’s really the 26th, of course.

I look forward to when Universal decides to expand beyond the US borders. I know Flans all across the world that are itching to see this movie, and I hope they get the chance.

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

I AM SEEING SERENITY IN 17 DAYS!!!!!

Rachel just woke me up from my merry drug-induced haze to tell me that she had somehow acquired Serenity tickets for May 26th. You have no idea how funny it is to try to squee and gush like a madwoman with a completely numb jaw.

I dreamed that I was able to eat tortilla soup by this evening. That’s funny, because I’m still incapable of enunciating consonants. I could barely even swallow liquids after the surgery. But I’m in no pain at all, so drugs = yay! The doctor told me that the wisdom teeth came out very easily, and that he predicted I would bounce back in no time. I feel really well-rested, and I think that instead of sleeping, I’m going to kick back and relax and watch some movies.

After poring over the web, I finally found the thread that announced it. A post from Joss on the Browncoats board. Dallas is one of the 20 cities where there will be screenings! And apparently Rachel managed to get tickets before they were technically on sale, so go her! Gah, I love this woman. I don’t know what I would have done if I’d missed through this opportunity!

EEEEEE, I’M SEEING SERENITY!!!!!!!!!!!!

And now mouth hurts from talking, so to any of my friends: If you want to talk to me today, please email me, or tell me to get on AIM. I don’t think I’m doing the healing process any good by trying to speak.

Weird fandom crossover ships in my dream last night: Buffy/Sayid. Yeah, I don’t get it either. Sayid wrote this cryptic poem that when deciphered would guide a huge number of Iraqi refugees to me (Buffy) for safety. I had to protect them against an army of undead, demons, and Iraqi government officials.

And I’m not even on painkillers yet.

Oh — hope everyone had a good Octo de Mayo! (Sorry for the confusion earlier with that whole “Ocho” thing. Brain spaz!)

And the Backstory:

In Lower School one year, Cinco de Mayo came on a weekend. Therefore, the Spanish class held their festivities on the 8th of May rather than the 5th. Because we French students had a tenuous grasp of basic Spanish language concepts at best, we started joking about an “Octo de Mayo” celebration. The Spanish students stared blankly. It was great!

I’m home! I got two hours of sleep last night, three hours on the airplane, enjoyed a lovely Mother’s Day brunch with my family, then took a three hour nap. I’m well on my way to catching up on my Zs! We had dinner at Jack’s, home of the most unbelievably delicious hamburgers in the universe, then mom and I watched (insert name of close friend)’s (insert name of close relation) on Desperate Housewives. (Haha, Felicia is Eve 6!) I was quite vexed to make the connection that I’m taking a summer course Wednesday evenings, which would conflict with Lost, but then of course, it would just be the season finale that I’d miss before it goes into summer reruns, and we can easily tape it. Anyway, there go my plans to have a big season finale party amongst all of my Lost fan friends!

And now I’m returning to Dreamland before undergoing oral surgery tomorrow morning. Stupid wisdom teeth.

(Wow, this incoherent and I’m still capable of feeble puns!)

11:30 and I’m just about ready to burn to CD. Yeah, I definitely missed my plane. Forgot to eat dinner, though, and nothing to eat in the dorm… Philly Diner, here I come. Ah, Philly Diner! Like Denny’s, but with slower service. But they’re the only place I know of on campus that serves stuff like that, and every so often you want eggs benedict at 3AM or get homesick for Chicken Fried Steak after living so long in Philadelphia, and their milkshakes aren’t half bad.

The Philly Diner:
When I miss my Southern fare,
A shoddy knockoff.

Come on, stupid computer! Finish rendering! Then I can upload everything and you can all gasp in surprise and wonder and remark amonst yourselves in hushed tones “She spent a semester on that?”

No, overall I’m fairly pleased, especially considering that nearly all animation was done in a span of 36 hours. I would not recommend this to anyone. Let’s just say it was a learning experience.

Ladies with walkers
Cause Cellie excessive angst,
Still feels Pixar love.

I need to write haiku more often. I love my bad poetry. At least I haven’t tried to use the word “effulgent.”

A coincidence!
Roommate Nikki and I share
The same flight schedule.

We shall share a cab
(Together, we save much dough)
Does she have blankets?

Alas, no spare sheets.
She has an alarm clock, though.
I won’t miss this flight!

Let the wank begin!

Look! Bigger poster.
Still no respect for commas.

Hey, 5-7-5!
Why no LJ fuss over
World Blog Haiku Day?

Or are we using
The European way of
Annotating dates?
