I am making plans to corrall a friend or three and go see it at the drive-in Saturday night, as God and Robert Rodriguez intended for it to be seen.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

Hey did you know there's something called Tiki Bar TV? I've never played Bunnies before. Anybody familiar with this drinking game?
I like the Drinkbot episode. It's based on science.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I was excited about it until I started reading more reviews. Now I think I'll wait for the DVD.

A group of women at school gave us an orchid. I've never had an orchid before, but I've always thought of them as high maintenance plants. Is it wise to give two people who are incredibly distracted by Other Things a plant that is easy to kill?
I thought so too. I have had an orchid on my desk since January 20. That's when we had a luncheon with them on the tables and I took one back. I figured it would last a week or two, then I'd go back to cut flowers on my desk. The damn thing won't die. I water it once a week with lukewarm water, and the worst that has happened is two flowers have fallen off.

Question on noun/verb agreement:
Faculty do, or faculty does? I can't remember if faculty is treated as singular or plural.

So, who is excited about Grindhouse?
Me! I have an advance ticket for a show tonight.
Actually, I have two because I realized if I went to the show I pre-ordered for Boston, I'd need to take a cab to guarantee I'd make the last train back, and THAT would cost as much as just getting a ticket for Danvers, where I can drive instead (the latter weren't available pre-today on-line for some reason).

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Nora, I think collective nouns are generally treated as singular in American English (though if it were me, you could get away with both). If the faculty is doing something together as a unit, then it's singular.

Movies like Grindhouse are the reason I like going to the noisy theater in Brooklyn where they yell back at the screen. I'm sorry I'm out of town for the opening.

I started the hair-cutting trend
You totally did, Theo. It was looking at your lovely cut (so good for your face!) that prompted me to remember I needed to get mine cut and make an appointment. It's Buffista hair madness!

I would be excited about Grindhouse except I've been up since midnight. After I've slept I'll be more enthused about it.
Although I just realized, it's almost certainly playing in the drafthouse theater. That will definitely help raise my excitabily level.
