Amezri's other journal space

Went with mom and bro to see the new Indy film. Wasn't that bad. I was never a huge fan of the films -- wasn't that I don't like them, just that I was never all "yay, Indy!" Anyway. This was fairly entertaining though some of the story elements had me a bit erm... baffled. Not because I didn't understand it, but more like, "oh dear god, why?!"

Still. It was cool to see Shia LaBeouf in an action role and I always love seeing Jim Broadbent. Was it just me or was Cate Blanchette's accent a little uneven in places?


So today, I've made myself a journalfen account. *shrug* Just in case.

Anyway, let's watch a little something I found on the youtubes. Robert Downey Jr on Ellen. Dancing. Heee!

Heh. That locations looks awful familiar. XD

I'm about a week and a half late. I blame plague. But here we go: write up, photos, and even video!

Farpoint 2008: February 15-17, 2008 in Hunt Valley, MD

If there is some extra bitter snark stuck in here, I'm sorry. I can't be bothered to edit at this point in time. Pictures linked within text, or you can use the links at the bottom.

Got up at 5:00am. Showered, dressed, packed up the rest of the stuff in the Jepp and headed to smashedrecords'. After a last minute scramble for things, we headed out at about 7:30am. It took us about 7 hours to get to Hunt Valley, which included two rest stops - one of which was for gas - and a third random stop in search of Wolfgang Puck sandwiches (don't ask). Once we got to Hunt Valley, we decided to stop at Wegman's before the hotel so we could get some last minute items. Checked in at the hotel and found out we were on the 3rd floor this time (ugh!), but once again we some how parked in the the lot that was closest to where we needed to be. Ha!

I'm not even going to talk about a certain someone snoring because... well, actually, it didn't bother me enough to completely disrupt my sleep schedule. So, yeah. Woke up at about 6am, though. Rearranged my luggage, got out what I was going to wear today and grabbed a quick shower. Putzed around until about 9am before I decided to eat and get dressed in the Hogwarts gear for the day.

Had a good night's sleep because uhm... the person who snored relocated. Woke up at 8:00am. smashedrecords and I got dressed and headed down to checkout the art auction. It turned out none of my stuff was even in the auction. Atene had only gotten the one bid, so it sold for less than I wanted, which was mildly disappointing, mostly because the whole pricing sheet thing was not explained to me properly. On the plus side, smashedrecords won a piece of pottery with Elvish on it.

From this year's Halloween Ghost Hunters Live at the Waverly Sanatorium. Wrestler Elijah Burke screams like a girl and books it down a dark hall:



I would totally buy this year's Live DVD just for that. Best. Ever.

In other news, the WGA strike continues on.

Joss Whedon has made a post on Whedonesque about a meeting he had with some showrunners. (Whedonesque and the creation of Fans4Writers were spoken of in awed whispers. I'm not kidding: one of the WGA workers asked me, "So, your fans. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?" I swear, having you guys in my corner is like being friends with Zorro. People in the community are amazed.)

And if you haven't been there yet, check out Fans4Writers.com. There have been some great photos from the live. I don't think I understand the WGA monkey... but it's amusing. Summer Glau and the cast of the Sarah Connor Chronicles. David Boreanaz... flagging down cars. And Seth Green handing out Krispy Kreme.
