I stayed up way tooo late last night and am going through work in a fog. This seems to be becoming a trend for my life. Also three of us are on today and it's not that busy, so it's not too much of a problem. Although I do have to deal with both co-workers at once, which always leaves me feeling like they're joining together in a joke at my expense, even though I know they're probably not.

On the upside I went to see Superman Returns with D the other day. It was better than I thought it would be, by a whole lot. I left the theatre humming the theme. Clark was adorkable, Lois' new man was cool rather than being an idiot or an ass, and Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor made me squeel with fangirlish joy. :)

Also last night I went to N's Aunt's book launch, which was really cool. It was the first time that I actually got to meet her in a place where I could remember who she is, instead of one of N's family's big Christmas parties. So I got her to sign my copy and I started reading it today and it's really good. Allow me now to take this moment and pimp The Mirror Prince by Violette Malan. It's fantasy, and deals with intense (like camping) cool faeries, and memory stuff and Trolls that look like small children to fool their prey. *pimps some more.*

I also hand a big long conversation with Tanya Huff who is friends with Violette and as much of a fangirl as I am, so it turns out. We talked about how TV on DVD was a glorious thing and the wonders of bit torrent and good books and filking (which she does). And she complained that her flist hadn't told her yet that Inara was going to play Vala's Ori baby. I also accidentally made her buy the His Dark Materials Triology. Being in a bookstore is a dangerous thing. I walked out of there with three books (thank the gods for the Friends of the Malans' discount): Violette's, Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison (N's suggestion), and The Golden Sword by Fiona Patton ("Yes," says Tanya, "Buy Fiona's books, because it all goes in the same pot and we need a new car."). Another cool thing is that Tanya's Blood Books are being turned into a Canadian TV series. The contracts for the three leads are almost signed and she's really pleased with the people, alhtough she can't tell anyone on pain of death because the contracts aren't signed YET. *is excited. and a huge fangirl. but we already knew that.*

R and I were somehow talked into going to the Midnight showing of Pirates of the Carribean. How Zar managed to do that without saying almost anything and with the two of us being reluctant since we both have to work today (R with noxious chemicals), I'll never know. But in any case it worked out because when we arrived at eleven it was sold out (not entirely unexpected), so we went back to my place to watch Crusade. R is now also in love with Galen because he is the awesomeness. She gets him on odd days and I get him on even days. Somehow I don't think that'll work out too well though, since he does have this habit of flitting away whenever the mood takes him.

*Is in a happy, but really tired space*

That's almost exactly how I felt about Superman Returns. James Marsden got totally shafted in X-Men 3 and deserved a well-written (semi-super) part like Richard White.

We'll have to compare notes on the pirates too. ;)

Once we see it of course. I neglected to mention that I already have plans to see it on Sunday, and am looking forward to it a whole bunch!

And I agree about James Marsden. Althoguh I never really liked Cyclops in the movies so it was really nice to see him play a character that I thought was really cool.

I find the trick to fixing that tired fog at work is 10-20 minute power nap. I work squeezed away in corner of the museum. So I get there and work for about half an hour before I nap. I lay my head on the desk and close my eyes and get this incredibly refreshing snooze without actually falling totally asleep. After about twenty minutes its too uncomfortable to keep going so you have to wake up and you feel all the better for it. However we also have this ancient sofa that is so incredible tempting some mornings even though the springs are all out of whack and prod you as you lie there.

Livejournal ate my comment to you. So instead of trying to write it again I'll just leave you with the knowledge that I wrote something so profound that you won't be able to believe it. And now it's lost. The world is in mourning.

I mourn for its loss too. There is nothing so good as a witty livejournal comment. They are a rare art form.

I'm excited for your return to Halifax so we can squeal fangirlish-ly over Stargate. I saw the first 8 seasons for sale in Blockbuster and stared longingly. Also, you must introduce me to other things I can obssess over. I trust your excellent taste!
