A Better Word for Weird

So I had 1 gin & tonic and 1 bailey's on the rocks, and I was eating at the same time: is there any logical reason I should be this tipsy? o_O

We went to the Celtic Knot after senior showcase. Tha's gonna be me in a year, which seems to be simultanetously a very short and very long time. Our last acting class was taday, and Stephan and I did the final Elena/Astrov scene from "Uncle Vanya." Dawn said it got to a very beautiful place by the end (shame we couldn't start the scene with that same feeling :P). She also said that each one of us had grown in some significant way over the last two years. TWO YEARS. Which also seems simultaneously like a short and long tie. Time. Whatevs.

At the Celtic Knot, Laura started snapping and said she felt like singing something, but didn't know what. So I broke out into "Stand By Me", and strangemiss joined in. *Loves on the roomie!Jessie*

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand now I'm watching 'Roger Rabbit'. Good times, good times.

Yay summer vacation.

ETA: I am definitely going to be watching some old Bonkers-on-VHS tomorrow. Silly Disney, bringing every other Disney Afternoon show out on DVD except Bonkers. >:(

I thought that since Departed won Director, it wouldn't win Best Picture.

Bah. :\

Anyway, what really matters is they won SOMETHING. Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor, w00t!

Actually, what REALLY matters is that my uncle was on worldwide TV like FOUR TIMES. He was sitting right behind Steve Carrell. Twice the camera was right on him: once during Alan Arkin's speech and again when they won again.

EEE!

Correcting my typos this time because it is serious business,

Also, HOW AWESOME WAS THE WILL FERRELL/JACK BLACK NUMBER? Hehehehehehe.

Greetings from halfway around the world :)

The plane ride was 12 hours long. Somehow I managed to keep myself entertained almost the whole time between naps... by reading the book herod_the_nut gave me for my birthday, and working on icons for Lumos LIMS, and writing some serious fic for the first time in a long time (PoTC-fic. Captain Jack/Tia Dalma. Wants to become multi-chapter when I had slated it for a one-shot. Why must some fics be so ambitious?).

I'm still pretty jetlagged, my internet will let me go anywhere BUT my e-mail, and the gas stations here freak me out, but other than that I'm dandy. My roommate, Jessica (yes, another Jessica. At least this one doesn't prefer to be called Jessie, or we'd have a real WTF on our hands) is a cool person with good taste in music. I spent this afternoon after program orentation walking down the Tokyo streets with 3 other girls (Amanda, Mara and Lee-Ann) and spending way more money than I'd intended, but I don't regret any of the purchases :P

....I can't remember what I was going to write next. Did I mention it's a 13-hour time difference from here and New York?

Hanging out with Amanda and Mara brought up the pirate/ninja controversy. Amanda has her foot in both camps, being a pirate-ninja. That is, a pirate with ninja-like skillz. And here I thought it was a ninja who drank a lot.

Speaking of drinking, I bought a beer from the grocery store just because I could. I wasn't even asked for ID. Take that, American drinking laws. I pwn your sorry ass.

I have an official drinking buddy, and his name is John (or herod_the_nut, if you prefer).

And homemade cider from unlabled brown bottles = The Shit (especially Batch 3).

To sum up... pirate party. Princess Bride, Pirates of Penzance, Pirates of the Carribean. And lots of sitting on the couch. Yup.
