Wednesday, November 05, 2003 Today (So Far) Otherwise known as -- what were YOU doing at zero hour? 12:01 AM: Return home from scintillating comedy show. Plop in front of computer. Check Begum and email. Respond to Asa's post re: Sandman. 12:15: Go to bed. 12:20: Cannot sleep. Watch TiVoed Daily Show. 12:40: Still cannot sleep. Watch TiVoed Buffy episode. 1:30: Still cannot sleep. Read cheesy sci-fi novel. 1:45: Fall asleep with light on. 4:25: Wake up. Listen to roommate and roommate boyfriend get ready. Nag her about letting me sleep so late. 4:30: Roommate boyfriend makes coffee. Praise his name. 4:50: Shoo roommate and roommate boyfriend out the door. 4:52: Get into car. Begin to blast Matrix Reloaded soundtrack. Seat-boogie. 5:00: Kick roommate and bf out of car and into Mann Chinese line. Park car. 5:10: Walk to join roommate and bf in line. Pass front of theater. See big Matrix countdown clock. 5:11: Squeal. 5:14: Get in line. Appreciate warmth of winter coat, scarf, and hat. 5:20: Still in line. Warner Brothers lady passes with t-shirt. Slut self out for swag! More squealing. Roommate starts to ask if I've had too much coffee. 5:30: More coffee. More swag. More squealing. 5:35: Yet more swag. CD of the soundtrack! Movie poster! CD-ROM! And word comes down that the popcorn and soda is going to be free, too! 5:38: It's 30 degrees outside and I'm starting to feel warm. Offer neighboring people my scarf. Get odd looks in exchange. 5:50: Start to walk into theater. More squealing, especially when I see guy-who-plays-Seraph standing outside with the publicity crew. "Thank you for coming," I shout. 5:51: Roommate confiscates coffee mug. Luckily, have already emptied it. 5:55: Score best seats in the house. Go to bathroom. Skip down aisle at high velocity on my way back. 6:00: The lights go down... And that's all I feel the need to mention right now. *g* | permalink blog • archives • photos • about • contact This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License. All content © 2004.
