Double Digit day today...
I'd volunteered to help set it up, but apparently there was no separate cleanup crew...
So I got home later than I'd anticipated.
Meh, what an icky week! I spent the entire first half of it in a state of mild panic, feeling as if any minute my heart rate would speed up and I'd have a panic attack.
Saturday... what did I do Saturday? Did I already blog about it?
---
Yes, it seems I did. Sad, I need to check my own blog to jog my memory.
Monday was fun~ It took my parents and me forever and a day to get to Eldorado Springs, there was so much traffic. They weren't going to let us in because the park was full (and Sarah's family had been holding down our table since like 9:30 that morning! We were supposed to arrive at 11 but didn't get there til 12!). So, I got out and went to walk all the way up there to tell the Yoons to pack up the stuff so we could eat in the comfort of my house (cellphones weren't working that far into the mountains) but then apparently the park personnel decided to allow my parents in.
In summary: despite delays and false alarms, we made it, and we did get to eat there.
Afterward, Sarah, Peter and I went to see the Brothers Grimm, out of fondness for the mordid tendencies of the original fairy tales. I am now addicted to gummies, thanks to the store located right beside the theater. As for the movie?
It had potential, but the absolutely horrid graphics ruined it. Ranking second after the meagerly funded CGI under Reasons to Not Waste Expensive Theater Tickets on This Movie is how they were -really- stretching things to get some fairy tale references in there. I mean, -really- stretching it. The comedy wasn't funny enough. They tried too hard, and lots of it was just dumb, not funny.
On the other hand~ I very much liked the two main characters. The whole "magic beans" angst could have worked really really well... but it didn't, not the way they did it. *sigh* But really... the character development could have been wonderful (except for the characters obviously only there for comedic antagonistic effect). It just wasn't. Lots of room for improvement in fandom, though... I wouldn't be surprised if lots of BG fanfics start cropping up.
Best character: Jacob Grimm
Dumbest line: *Crunch* "Mmmm, I taste good!" - Gingerbread man
Funniest line: "French-occupied Germany" - Location change subtitle
^_^
Yes, if the part where I laughed loudest and longest was a subtitle describing the change in location, the comedy was sorely lacking.
Anway~ Moving along.
Tuesday~ Stressed out day. Tuesday and yesterday were my constant panic days, I don't know why. I just felt -awful- and close to tears, the way I do only when I'm particularly moody and nothing is going right, but... I wasn't moody per say, and things weren't going all that badly (it was my birthday, after all) but I kep having physical symptoms of near panic attacks. Very peculiar, and very tiresome.
I did call E-chan, though~~ *waves*
And yesterday I called Paige~
Canada and Louisiana... I must be racking up quite a phone bill.
Let's see, let's see... Yesterday at work I had to close all by myself o_O It was only me second day on the job, my first day at my department, and I haven't even gone through register training yet! Gah!
It worked out though, I think. I just got home exhausted (I pulled an all-nighter Tuesday night, for all the good it did me) and crawled into bed.
Oh. Maybe I was feeling so poorly on Wednesday because I didn't get enough rest.
That doesn't explain Tuesday, though. Grr.
Traffic today was horrible! I didn't even make it to Korean class... And gas today cost me 41$!!
!!!
I'm too young to be able to say "I remember the good old days when gas was such and such price..."
*sigh*
I have some PT logs to do, NAVR homework, study for Korean, Calc homework, and CSCI homework as well.
oh!
I got stung by some kind of yellowjacket or bee or something. First time in years~ I didn't realize it wasn't just a grass sticker until I saw the bug floundering around in the grass minus a stinger.
Anyhoo~ homework now~
And if I"m lucky~ Sleep!
