Happy Day!

[corilannam]

Some stuff:

* Happy Hunger Games! I'm going to the midnight show tonight, even though I am much too old for that nonsense and will undoubtedly pay for it tomorrow. I'm wearing my District 11 China Glaze tie-in nail polish as my secret fannish costume.

* Happy Vernal Equinox! Er, a couple days late. Although I really can't complain about how the winter has treated us here in the Mid-Atlantic, I never fail to be thrilled to get officially past it. Being a born-and-raised desert girl, I always feel like the mere existence of winter is holding me hostage somehow. On one particularly mild and pleasant February day, I was trying to explain to the BFF that this was how winter was all the time back home. I did have to go out and buy a new fan, though, since my apartment complex won't turn the a/c on until sometime in May and my place is already getting a bit stuffy.

* Happy Big Bang Check-in! Er, a day early. I was going to be able (with some difficulty) to meet the 10K suggested minimum, until last night when I had a MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH on the plot while chatting with flammablehat. Well, not the plot so much as the structure. So I had to delete all but 2,000 words, but on the bright side, I can now actually see the beginning, middle, and end as opposed to just a random sequence of scenes I wanted to write.

* Happy Start of Merlin S5 Shooting! Ah, the anticipation. The occasional tidbit of information that we snap up like a school of starving piranhas. The glimpses of our lovely cast. The utter terror of what the Js are going to spout off about next. I'm neither actively seeking out spoilers nor actively avoiding them, so don't worry about mentioning them to me (but don't assume that I know about them, either). Before too many leak out, I think I'm going to work on my S5 wishlist.

ELLA! *gasp!* I am shocked. ;-D But desperate times, desperate measures!

I'm going at midnight too!!!

Awesome! I'm glad we won't be the only non-teens going tonight. Where are you seeing it? We have tickets for the IMAX at Rio.

We're just in the regular theatre at Rio, no IMAX. I'm kinda regretting not getting IMAX tix. I got them the first day and didn't think anything of it at the time.

Indeed! I didn't intend to write a post of all happy, but I'm happy it turned out that way. :-D

How's it going with you?

I am also seeing the midnight show tonight! I have not yet read the book! I am going to be in big trouble with my friends (the ones who loaned me the book)! Fuck yeah!

I didn't realize how relatively pleasant a Georgia spring could be until I took a little mini-vacay to Florida. And now I'm back in GA and looking around beatifically like THIS IS SO LOVELY. XD

... *cries* But I'm glad you had a breakthrough! It always feels so awesome, having a breakthrough. *sigh*

YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK??? GOOD GOD, WOMAN. Okay, you still have 5 hours -- start reading!!

I think I would probably melt away in Florida in any season! It is so nice to enjoy a proper spring this year.

*pets you* You sounded all full of inspiration for your big bang last night! What happened?

I read all the spoilers so if you know of any new ones, let me know! I did hear about the major casting spoiler - that brings up all kinds of questions and the off-the-cuff remark that Katie said about her wardrobe this year really had my mind working!
