Leah and I are going to the theater tonight to see Nightmare Before Christmas 3D and I'm really jazzed about it.  Maybe I'll see JT and Rob there afterwards, when they're heading in to see Bat Out of Hell 3 for the one show it's playing.

Nathanael: I am also jazzed about you being here in HSV. We need to get together and do something.  Do you know Rob and JT?  They're cool guys and we should all hang out. I hung out with Spike last trip to Henderson and my decision: hanging out with good friends you haven't seen in a while ROX.

I think sometime I will list my past favorite Beatles songs, because the top favorite changes so often. Just today, in fact, "Long, Long, Long" bumped out "Mother Nature's Son." Isn't "Long, Long, Long" the exact predecessor to all indie rock? Just a thought.

I finally got caught up on Narbonic. Eric Burns is right, it is flabbergastingly amazing. Everybody on my friends list: You should read it. It's cute and epic, it's heartwarming and heartwrenching, it's smart and silly, it's hilarious and sad. It's...  well, it's the story of a mad scientist and her underlings, experiments, underling/experiments, and a lot of maniacal laughter and nigh-world domination. And gerbils.  Trust me on this one.

Long, Beautiful Weekend

Spent my weekend with Leah, if by "weekend" you mean "Thursday to Tuesday".  So yeah, it was wonderful, if only because spending so much time with her was wonderful.

Thursday I went down and we watched Big Fat Liar.  I love Paul Giamatti; I need to see Sideways.
Friday I read and internetted when she was at work.  That night we watched American Treasure which was, again, a whole lot of fun.
Saturday we had a big Mother's Day dinner: Steak and Chicken.  It's one meal for them, the chicken cooked above the steak on the grill so it's effused with steaky goodness.  I can't argue at all.  We also had baked potatoes, and I spread my potato+A1 sauce love to at least three others.  Joy!  Then I was going to go to my parents' house by myself, but I couldn't leave Leah so she came with me.
Sunday was nice.  Church, my mom's spinach-stuffed shells, a nice afternoon nap, and then another wonderful car ride talking to Leah.
Monday was nice, too. Another nice day on the internet, another nice lunch, and a great dinner, followed by The Emperor's New Groove. We watch a lot of movies.  I checked my grades; the only good news is that I've now progressed to the point where a B+ is a huge disappointment.  I was going to go home but Leah convinced me to stay another day.  Her convincing is usually just "please"--I'm pretty much a sucker for her, what can I say?
Today Leah and I had a nice breakfast, then she went to work and I hung out on Gaia's forums a ton, then a nice lunch then I went back to the apartment.  Shortly afterwards, the afternoon vanished.  Oh Well.

I just saw a news commercial talking about phishing.  Effectively, they're trying to tell people not to hand their wallets to strange people who just walk up to them on the street.  After a certain point, do you ever think that these people deserve the inconvenience of canceling their credit cards and getting new ones?

Also, I've been reading C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity and enjoying it thoroughly.  There was something else I wanted to post, but I completely forgot about it.  It might be something like "My new favorite Beatles song is either "Mother Nature's Son" or "Two of Us".  Who knows.
