Distracted By Something Shiny

My back hurts. Though I am unable to tell if it is really my back or actually my stomach. I think the tea I am about to drink will help. Tonight I was going to bitch about some family things and how I felt kind of grumpy all weekend - and I may come back to this because the one thing in particular has been an ongoing issue for me - but right now, even with my back hurting, I have to flail around. Because…

The Walking Dead just had the most amazing return ever! They came back with a bang and a half! ( Under the cut for spoilers of 3.01 )

It. Was. Awesome.

And the tea is already helping, thank you very much. Night all.

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).

OMG - who saw this week's Justified?! PLEASE, TELL ME THAT SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE WROTE RAYLAN GETTING BOYD OUT OF THAT SUIT?! PLEASE!!

( Mildly spoilery...I really like the suit. )

In Sum - Yes, Tim, if you started a cult in Mexico - I would so follow you.

First, I have the best news. One of my best friends in the whole wide world, since I was like 19, that I love so much...he's getting married! He just called me this week to tell me. I am so excited. See, he has been with his guy for a decade, but same-sex marriage is not legal in South Carolina. Even though they have lived together for almost nine years. They designed and built their house together. I always told him, "You live with someone in the house you built together - I'm just going to start calling him your husband."

But now they can be husbands for real. They kept saying as soon as SC allowed them to be married...but now the boyfriend asked him if he just wanted to screw that and run off to Vermont - (the only state that allows gay marriage and out-of-state-residents to be married) and so...they are! This summer.

I really want to go but I can't go alone and The Sister has no vacation days since she just started this job and used all the ones she did have for days when the roads were too horrendous to drive on. I am still thinking on it though - there must be a way for me to get there. I'm so retardedly happy about this.


Now other things - who is excited for "Battle: Los Angeles"?! Come on, peoples - did you see all the shit that is going to blow up in this movie?! We are going tonight! Opening night! I have been waiting for this movie for months! I can't expect it to be "Independence Day" or anything - (for one thing, it is lacking in President Pullman) - because ID was just the best crazy alien movie ever - but still, it looks awesome. Aaron Eckhart came out as saying that it is just 20,000 rounds of ammo and dirt and dust and explosions throughout the whole thing.





I am excite!

As long as it isn't "2012". I didn't hate "2012" as much as some people, but it was a lot of talky and plotty and I just wanted more shit to blow up. I want 10 minutes of talky, 130 minutes of explosions, and then 5 minutes of swelling music with a music video-esque ending.

Cuz it's A BATTLE - IN LOS ANGELES! THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS! LOS ANGELES IS AT WAR!!


In RL things - Yesterday, I felt like crap. On Tuesday, I was exhausted and felt like I couldn't breathe right. I figured - chest cold. I woke up on Wednesday in a very awkward position and my back was killing me all day. I turned on the computer but I could barely sit up or keep my eyes open. Every time I tried to take a breath, there was a knife stabbing pain in my side. My whole body hurt. I went to bed at 9pm. I must have been running a fever too, because I woke up all sweaty gross. I feel better today, but still anytime I try to take a deep breath, there is a stabbing pain again. I literally laid in bed/couch and watch tv and slept for 40 hours straight.

This, however, will not stop me from going to Battle. In Los Angeles!
