Boyd Crowder Kills Aliens.

[dodger_sister]

WALTON GOGGINS WAS IN "COWBOYS & ALIENS", YOU GUYS!! I did not know this going in to the movie, but I saw his name in the opening credits and I made a little noise of delight. So...

JAMES BOND, HAN SOLO, WILD BILL HICKOCK, DR. THIRTEEN, SAM ROCKWELL & BOYD CROWDER RODE HORSES, SHOT GUNS AND KILLED SOME MOTHER-FUCKING ALIENS, YO!!!

Yep. Is there anything else I need to say about this movie? I think not.

And tomorrow I go see HP one last time before it leaves the theater - (apparently "The Smurfs" is showing on a bazillion screens this weekend and pushing everything else out of the theater - idk why). I have only seen HP once, but I kind of felt like it was the final movie and I should see it one more time. It was a lot to take in the last time - I think a second viewing is required. Don't worry, queenklu, I will be watching for Aberforth's kilt this time.

The kind of weird thing is that I am going to the movie with two of Kevin's daughters. It is only weird because I literally remember when they were born and now we are hanging out. But they are like 18 and 20 years old, so it's not like they are actually children or anything. I also get kind of nervous the first time I do something social with someone new, but I figured a movie was a good choice. And I recently met Kevin's two youngest kids when they showed up at his work and he had them come in the room to meet me. (He has six kids, for those keeping count - and thus far, I've met four of them - though technically I have met kid #3, but she was a newborn then and it was 16 years ago).

I still have some therapy stories to tell you - (there is a new cute guy at therapy and everyone there has been giving me a hard time for pointing out that he is hot) - and also some Nephew stories, because he calls me like three times a week now and wants to chit-chat. The Nephew is going to be one of those teenagers, when he grows up, that you have to constantly poke to get off the phone - (much like his father was, to my dismay).

But now I have to go read the bazillion blindfold fills ya'll posted, because apparently the way to celebrate LJ being back up, is to post porn!! I totally concur.

IN SUM: COWBOYS. ALIENS. SHIT BLOWS UP. (also, it had an awesome score).

So you've just been waiting for The Boy to come home so you could see it? Between this and Leverage, I have to give you mega-props for your patience. ;) You know, the character is so not Boyd, but Walter is fantastic. Maybe my favorite character in the whole damn thing (besides possibly Keith Carradine's character who was pretty awesome).

The movie went well - it wasn't as weird to hang out with Kevin's kids as I thought it might be. Either they are very mature or I am very immature, I'm not sure which. Maybe a little of both. lol Kid #2 is such a fangirl, she gets so excited by everything. I showed her my convention pictures and discovered her Jensen-crush is in full form right now. I think I am going to invite her over for a Dark Angel Jensen viewing.

I was mostly thinking that if we had a bbq, I could invite Kevin and his family, since he hasn't been to my place since I lived at my mom's (high school graduation, that long ago!). But the aide, Cherri (I think she spells it with a C), who saw Jensen on my tee and was all, "Omg, is that Eric Brady?" - she's really who I mentioned wanting to hang out with. She is the kind of person one would invite out for drinks, but I don't drink. So I'm not sure what to do.

Cute Guy is a tech. I'll probably tell the whole story later in a post (yeah, we'll see if that happens) but I made a very casual remark about him (nothing really, not by my filthy standards for damn sure) and Kevin got wind of it and now he gives me so much shit. I can never tell if he is being protective, possessive or just a douchebag. I'm guessing the Cute Guy is early 20s. Old enough to drink, but still far too young for me - which I am fine with. Poor kid though, since everyone has been giving me a hard time, he's the one who is embarrassed. I'm not embarrassed. Also, there is this really young cute female aide that is so much fun to talk too - I told Kevin she was "entertaining as fuck" and he was confused as to whether that was a good thing.

Alas, the movie is going to have to wait til next week. School fees dug deeper into my pockets than expected. It's amazing how much 'free' public education costs.

Glad to hear the movie went well! It always feels good to make those kinds of connections. Whenever I do I'm always 'why don't I do this kind of thing more often?'

As for Cherri, you could invite her out for coffee or dessert? Like at a Village Inn or Perkins? (are those national chains?) Or even if ya'll have some kind of specialty dessert or ice cream place? And that gives you an opening to ask too. You could say you wanna try it but not alone, would she wanna join you.

I'm looking forward to Cute!Tech Guy stories. It sounds adorable that he's all embarrassed on your behalf.

Public school is expensive! When my little brother was in school, I felt like I spent so much money every August just getting him supplies and clothes for school. Let's not even talk about the year that he had a dress code and we had to buy him khakis and polos and shit.

I'm always 'why don't I do this kind of thing more often?'

You know, because I don't work or drive, I spend way too much time in the house. Most of my friends are 'stay in' kind of people, where we marathon TV shows and hang out at the house, which I enjoy, but just getting outside of the house is enough to make me happy. I am a much more social person inside than I ever actually get to be. Ice cream is a good idea for Cherri. We actually have a state-wide famous ice cream brewery place here in town and one of those speciality 'make your own sundae' places (always makes me think of Jared because you can get any candy topping you want on your ice cream including gummi bears, lol).

It sounds adorable that he's all embarrassed on your behalf.

lol I think he is embarrassed on his behalf.
