So...

Today I hit the ground running. Little Sis and I had planned to go and see Monsters Vs. Aliens, the only showing in town of which was at 4:55. I woke up around 4:15, which meant I had to get dressed, grab little sis, run to the bank (I'm going to Mom's tomorrow, and she had to borrow--for the third time running--an extra $300 for her mortgage, since she's decided that her job--which wasn't very hard aside from her not liking her co-workers--was too strenuous for her suddenly-ailing health.  I'm also going to break it to her that this is the last time.  What I have left of my savings and what I can put back until then has to go toward the move.) Then we had to run to the post office, since for some reason the mail man decided the envelope containing a beautiful necklace that taytheer  made for me was too big for our mailbox. *shrug*  It really wasn't that big...  Oh well, pretties for me.

After all of that, we managed to get to the movie on time, and I really really recommend it.  It was bloody hilarious, and had a strong female lead who actually wasn't a fairytale princess and whose happily ever after didn't involve marrying Prince Charming, which is a little rare and completely cool.  Plus the President is voiced by Stephen Colbert.  One of the funniest scenes in the movie involves him trying to communicate with the newly-landed alien robot probe through synthesizer.  He starts off with the theme from Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, then (after flashing the sign for "Live Long and Prosper") launches into a decidely rockin' rendition of Axel F.  Completely deadpan.  See it! 

Once we got back from that we discovered that The Dress had arrived, and I am very pleased.  It's a bit more glittery than I'd anticipated, but that's nothing I'll complain about.  ^_^

Must run, gotta head in to work!
