Five Happy Things for Tuesday:

  1. I saw Up. This movie is perfection. I urge you to see it as soon as possible, so you have plenty of opportunity to see it a second and a third and a fourth time.
  2. I saw Up with college roommate Ko and coworkers Eric and Matt. It would have been magnificent on its own, but it was even better with friends!
  3. I saw Up in 3D! It was quite well designed in that regard. It took advantage of the medium without being gimmicky or distracting.
  4. I saw Up, and Ko and I quoted it incessantly as we returned to my apartment for her to pick up her gerbils. They were so happy to see their Ko Mommy!
  5. I saw Up. And spontaneously, too! In the past few months, I’ve been so much better about going out and doing things. I feel so much more energized and happy about my life! I finally feel like I’m taking advantage of living in New York. And now, I saw Up!

I think that’s five. :D

  • 00:32 Walked over 7 miles today in new shoes. Feet have giant blisters of death. Still, had a fantastic time with @spodalicious and friends! #
  • 08:15 What the heck is that beeping noise? I can’t find its source. It pings once every 20 seconds or so. It’s like Chinese water torture. #
  • 12:19 @mkcho73 That’s what Roommate thought, but the noise isn’t coming from the smoke detector. Had to leave for work before finding the source. #
  • 15:35 My string of Terry Gilliam movies from Netflix has revealed my true colors. It sent me a list of recs: "Quirky Sci-Fi/Fantasy From the 80s" #
  • 22:55 Aww, man! I missed celebrating my 2500th tweet! Here’s 2504 instead. #
  • 23:08 @fourteenacross Happy 3006th! #
  • 23:10 @ShipLizard Enjoy the drugs! When I woke up after having my wisdom teeth out, all the knots in my shoulders were miraculously gone. #
  • 23:16 @ShipLizard Urgh! My sympathies. I was to direct a scene for a student film the night after I’d been in the hospital until 3am with a UTI. #
  • 23:18 @ShipLizard But what with the exhaustion and the all-side-effects, no-intended-effects painkillers, I had to pass the responsibility on. #
  • 23:22 @jimmyaquino I think it’s adorable at its current length, but if you want to experiment, go for it! #
  • 23:27 @viennateng And now, Tweet! #

Sunday:

  1. I posted my call for a roommate on Craigslist, and received a response within the hour! She sounds awesome, and I’m thrilled to report that I’m fairly sure things are going to work out between us.
  2. However, if things don’t work out, I have a pool of four other girls that responded over the course of the day! Huzzah!
  3. I got together with Lisa, a woman I’ve encountered in a number of contexts around New York but never really spent quality time with. No idea why–she’s so much fun to be around! Together, we walked the 7.2 miles to her friend Chris’ apartment in Astoria. She’s training for an Avon walk. I have no excuse. My new MBT shoes were ridiculously fun to walk in, but of course, as they were new, my feet are covered in blisters. Must adequately armor my feet until I break them in.
  4. At Chris’ place, we played a fantastically bizarre card game called Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Magic Carrot. BRILLIANT. I need to get a deck and introduce all my friends to the game!
  5. Before leaving, we played a few rounds of Rock Band. I’m pleased to say that I was not a complete disgrace my first time playing! A splendid time was had by all.

Monday:

  1. I had an amazingly vivid dream, in which I “died” and was revived two years in the future. At some places in the dream, this took place as if I’d died in present day, but at others, I was a senior in high school. I navigated my usual haunts, noting things that had changed. One high school friend gave me a “Class of 2006” equivalent of our “Class of 2003” shirt to commemorate the two years I was dead, which proves that my subconscious can’t do math.

    Then, one of my coworkers asked me if I’d finished our characters for [Name of Client Censored, As I’m Not Sure How Much I Can Say In My Blog], and I realized that I hadn’t been dead at all–everyone had just been playing an elaborate practical joke on me. One coworker had programmed all the computer clocks to say 2010 (again, my subconscious can’t do math), and the exhaustion and confusion I felt were the result of them (harmlessly) drugging me.

    There has to be a comic book in here somewhere.

  2. I wore a different pair of new shoes to work today! I got a number of compliments on them.
  3. Boss held a meeting about how awesome we all are. I approve.
  4. Ko forgot to pick up her gerbils, so I get one more day or watching them scurry about in their cage, being adorable!
  5. Total Eclipse Of The Heart: Literal Version helped me get my mind off today’s sheer right-wing nutjob Worldsuck.
