xXx wasn't my choice of film, but I went out of curiosity. Vin Diesel reminds me of a St. Bernard, and didn't really do it for me. (Well, it was the theater's fault. They showed a Jason Lee trailer before the movie. Now, how the hell is Vin Diesel supposed to measure up to the man who was BRODIE? It just can't be). His voice turned me off, and there's something about his face that I just find unnattractive. Bad as he is, I'll take Russell Crowe instead any day of the week. However, as an action star *puts critic hat on* Vin showed promise and that perhaps he's been visiting the Bruce Willis school of action stardom. They emote in similar ways, which I am saying as a compliment (I like many of BW's movies. Okay?). The film itself was better-than-average action fare, with some Badass Motherfucker thrown in for good measure (Samuel L. Jackson baby, yeah.) *takes critic hat off* (also,XANDER? WTF? That name would NOT have been cool before 1997. Thank you, Joss Whedon.)
After the film we went next door to Friendly's, where (as a table of 12) there was so much shouting, so much laughter. My half of the table (

After the restaurant, we were re-loading the 12 of us back into the 2 cars (more or less) and due to the fact that I was the shortest, I was elected to be the lay-across fourth.

Then we hung out at the hotel for an hour or so, and I spoke to Lisa and Sarah, Buffy fanatics from Ontario. (squee!). After sufficient Dawn-bashing and Tara-mourning, Lisa told us of her adventures (and purchases) at the nearby Star Trek/Buffy/general sci-fi con. Fun fun. Neither of them had LJ, I think, sorry to say.
Came home after a fairly short bus ride (they show movies on buses now? I got to watch (most of) Ocean's 11! whee). Got home about 9:30, after navigating the labrynth under the port authority that takes me to the times square Q station. Watched SATC on tape, showered, watched a little bit of Sportscenter 25K, then went to sleep. (Will watch rest on tape tonight).
*collapses* What fun. Almost makes me want to seek out a Buffy community that exists in a similar vein. Anyone know of any? I'm curious. (I'll be turned to the darkside yet, I'm afraid).
Now, off to really doing work rather than pretending to. Only 4 more mornings left until...I have to play mover >_<. *sigh* At least *I* am not moving. NYC, you are STUCK with me!! muahahahahaaa!

Re:
Date: 2002-08-27 07:14 pm (UTC)Speaking of kitties, there's a house on my walk home from the bus that just had kittens. I was looking at them sleep today and a lady offered me one. Sadly, the fact that the little furball would practically put me in the hospital if I got closer than 5 feet away from it prevented me from taking it home. It was really cute tho...
Re:
Date: 2002-08-27 07:16 pm (UTC)it's what my kitty did to me this morning, she sat on my pillow by my face purring.
and I thought you were going to get shots so the allergies weren't as bad.

Re:

But at least I'm down here...or it could be college all over where we say we're going to get together and it never happens...at least we both have verizon phones.
Re:

Re:

When the stress starts it hits all at once.
