I'm going tomorrow with friends, but I'm debating also going tonight alone, to take in all the festiveness of opening night....

A friend of mine is picking up my ticket this afternoon. She was originally going to pick up a few tickets for some friends. The last time I heard from her, "a few friends" had mushroomed into 28 people. There'll be dining, costumes (none on me, cause I suck), and Irish whiskey. And someone else is driving me. Plus, you know, BDM. Three hours and 45 minutes before I can leave.

We're going to try and see Mirrormask tonight.

Okay, I fear my boss lurks. She just thanked me nicely and is kinda amazed that I was juggling all of this alone. She shouldn't have been amazed but I appreciate the ... um ... appreciation. I'm like a puppy that way, you should tell me when I've done good.

You gonna be at the Bridge, Dawn?

Yup - the main deciding factor was the reserved seating. We saw Batman there and it was great to just walk in and sit down - no lines!

Now all I have to do is figure out how I'm going to get through the day without killing someone. Hummm maybe a long lunch is called for.

I just got our tickets for Serneity tonight. This is a *huge* deal for us because we have never done "baby at a movie" before. I have a whole plan which involves her night time routine as usual until we magically whisk her off to the theater to sleep there for a few hours.

::fingers crossed it will work::

More surgery for Hubby. This, though, will be new for me to deal with. His left shoulder has been fucked up for decades, due to damage caused when he was a firefighter (wild fires, to be precise). He got some x-rays yesterday, the orthopedist looked at them, then picked up the phone and said, "Schedule surgery for Mr Neil at the earliest convenience." Things are separated that shouldn't be, and there's tremendous calcium buildup on the outsides of his blood vessels. They're hoping they can do this by the scope, but they'll add to his scar collection if necessary.

Hubby's left-handed, but he's fairly competent with his right hand. He's promised me he won't have any surgeries that will incapacitate both hands, because, as he said, "You've put up with enough over the years, I'm not going to make you wipe my butt."

Dude -- that's where I saw Batman too. IMAX reserved seating. Also seen RotK there. It's pricey, but you know what you're paying for.

Very much worth it. I'm almost to the point where if it's not showing there in a director's hall, I'm waiting until it comes out on DVD. So spoiled!

Connie, surgery~ma for the DH. Long may the butt-wiping hand live!
