ladybranwen | Mine is an EVIL laugh!

YAY! I just came back from Serenity because I got to go with Erica, Nina, Robert, and Petey. I have to say that that is the largest movie theatre I ever been in, and it was practically crowded. Apparently everyone who didn't have tickets to the Red Sox/Yankees game wanted to see the movie. Ok, not everyone, but whatever. We got there 30 minutes before the show and it was already mostly filled up. In the front there were quite a few people with their orange Jayne hats on.

And they showed every commercial twice while we were waiting for them to start up. People clapped and cheered for this. I was hoping they would want to show the movie twice, but no such luck. Everyone was also very excited throughout the previews (Narnia and Harry Potter!), so excited that even I found myself clapping at the end of the Narnia one (though I was good and didn't clap at the start of the HP one).

I guess that

ladyshrew said what I would have said. WASH!!! Oh my! He had just received a huge laugh in the audience for his line after landing the plane, and then whoosh! A stake through the heart (how fitting for a Joss Wheedon character). But, Kaylee got her happy ending, I like, or at least appreciated, Jayne more than I think I originally did. What is not to like about a snarky (though sometimes dense) man? Really. For a while there, it looked pretty bad, but you knew that they couldn't all die. I was wondering, however, how were they going to get out of it and beat everyone (and that was before they met the reavers). Silly me for doubting. But it was quite violent with dripping blood off of shiny weapons. Go River!

But it was wonderfully good! And I'm so glad I got to see it with all the other dorky people who love it.

Last night we had a fire drill. It is so strange here, because they tell you what day they are having it, and they don't have to have them at different times like we did in Virginia. The good thing about it, is that means that we won't be woken up at two in the morning. Of course, I was telling Jen that if we had a real fire the firefighters would be using megaphones to tell us not to jump, but to burn. That way the clean-up would be lots neater (charred remains as opposed to squashed body parts on the ground). But only for us fifth floor people, cause we wouldn't have a chance making it down in time. At least not me in the middle of the night. I'm hopeless!

I went exercising with Meredith this morning. And I didn't die! And I actually ran for like five minutes straight without passing out. I'm so good. Haha. After my 30 minutes on the treadmill, I felt like I was floating to the water fountain, and was quite impressed with my way of walking straight. I don't know, it felt funny.

I also had my rather lengthy meeting this afternoon with Matt and Heather for our group project. Now I have another smelling book to read this week. Fun.

I want to join a nunnery. Why can't I be Catholic? Or at least a Roman aristocrat way back when so I can join the Vestal virgins. I want that.

Edit! If you don't want anything spoilery, don't read the comments here, either!
