I really wanted to go to the midnight showing Tuesday or at least the first showing at 11:30 today, but alas, Bob was diagnosed as diabetic two weeks ago, and she gets her insulin at noon and midnight until her glucose is regulated, so I couldn't go until the 1:30 showing this afternoon. Sadface.
Overall, I was pleased. Maybe not 100%, but hey, it could have been a bajillion times worse. I'm just mad the movie theatre jacked up the price on the matinee so much, so I'm not likely to be able to afford to go see it as many times as I want to.
( Probably just going to be repeating what most other people have already said )
Mostly, the movie just had the feel that they cut a lot out. Here's hoping they actually include the deleted scenes on the DVD this time.

We got to our hotel room a few hours ago after 2 1/2 days on the train. I think I got...maybe...5 hours of sleep the whole time? We're probably going to keep our noise maker with us on the way back and see if that helps us sleep better. Going to go to the zoo and museum tomorrow, then Little Italy, then maybe the aquarium.
For those who don't know (and probably don't care), ma and I are in San Diego for a little 4-day vacation before we meet up with a friend of mine from Gaia to go up to BotCon in Pasadena next week. Once BotCon is over, we're going to head back to Temecula for a few days to recover and hang out before we head back home on the 5th.
I have to admit, I'm...scared out of my mind. It's been almost 10 years since I last met an online friend in-person, and that one time was...well, suffice it to say, I'm paranoid. I'm jittery, cranky, and overall not pleasant company offline, and meeting her, her best friend, and possibly a few other people at BotCon has me twitching already. Plus there's the factor of not knowing how BotCon is run, not knowing how to plan what to do, and all that. Otakon was pretty well straight-forward. All I can do is hope that this is too.
Here's hoping for the best. And while I'm here, one last bit of spam, I promise: Transformers anonymous writing feedback meme because I could really use the feedback.

If anybody tried to ping me on AIM, and I went offline, it was the wi-fi I'm leeching crapping out on me. The train keeps moving while they switch our car to a different one @@ So I didn't slam the door on anybody intentionally ><

I don't often do this, partly because I'm such a slow writer, but mostly because I just don't like taking prompts from other people simply because I'm a paranoid nit about getting characters wrong and/or letting down the prompter/requester. But, alas, I'm a sucker for bandwagons, and since I've already left prompts for 3 other people, it would be beyond selfish of me to not post as well.

Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 16 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 16 people to be tagged. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.
This is absurdly difficult...
( Rambleramble )
I tag...nobody because nobody's likely to read this who'd actually do it

We just got back from the doctor where we got the results of the tests. Ma's cancer free now! The doctor wants her to go through about a month of mild chemo and a shot of radiation, but he emphasized that it's just precautionary and to be on the safe side in case it thinks about popping up again. But as far as everything is concerned, this is all over.
Thank you, everyone who kept us in your thoughts and wished us luck through this ordeal.

Ma's going in for surgery early tomorrow morning to get the affected organs out of her as well as the lymphnodes involved so they can be tested to make sure the cancer is isolated like Kit-Kat's eye was. We'll know the results of that, as well as whether or not this is hereditary, in a week. If it's hereditary, I'll need to have my reproductive plumbing removed in my 30s.
Since I can't drive, I'll be staying at the hospital with her for the next day or two until she's released to come home, and after that, I'll be doing pretty much all of the work around the house until she's recovered enough to feel like doing more than just dragging herself from the bed to the living room and back again.
So, yeah, if I'm not around much for the next week or so, and/or if I'm online but don't respond when prodded for a bit, that's why.

If I'm not around/not particularly talkative for a while, it's nothing personal.
Ma has cancer.

Bah. A year and a half after I took a break (had no idea it was THAT long until I actually looked), I forgot how to do a lot of stuff. How do you get rid of the UI for taking purty screenshots? Schoofie needs to take her purty photos without all these buttons in the way.

Back from Memphis - went to the Pink Palace museum where I had an appointment to talk to the collections manager about museum jobs and what all I could do with my degree.
Ma forced me to read Hate the Dark to her the entire trip in the car there and back.
....
Yes, I do believe it is possible to nearly die of embarrassment.
