So, there's this movie....

[lillian13]

If I were cooler, I'd have my ticket to the midnight showing of Watchmen clutched in my hot little hand, and warning my boss that I'd be in late tomorrow.

But I have to drive to Dallas tomorrow afternoon (a boring drive at the best of times; purely annoying all other times), and help set up/run the booth at The Bataan Celtic Deathmarch NTIF and probably not collapse until 10 or 11 pm, and I would have done it without a thought when I was in college because man, seeing Watchmen up on the big screen first would have been totally worth it. *

But. Not in college. These days, when I'm an hour short of sleep, I'm cranky; I'd be worthless tomorrow. Probably run my car off the road and take out some road-texting hipster coming down early for SXSW. Not worth it, these days, just to say, "Nyah nyah, I saw it first!".

So I'll see it Monday, in a theater where you can eat dinner and not worry about little kids and talking patrons. It will be fun and amazing, but I'll still miss being able to say, "Nyah nyah, I saw it first!".


* God, I want to see this movie. I read the comic when it came out (when I was in college, heh) and was totally blown away by it. If only a fraction of that awesomeness makes it to the screen I'll be happy.

Sleep

[karenmtx.livejournal.com]

I fully understand about sleep and the lack thereof, I keep waking up around 3-4 and cannot go back to sleep. Getting old sucks!

As much as I want to see the movie this weekend I am instead going out of town to recharge. I admit I'm wound up pretty tight with work, school and life in general. The teenager has Boy Scouts and will be gone from Friday pm to Sunday and so will I.

Know anyone who wants tickets to Thursday's Spamalot? I've got two extra :)
