So I'm back from seeing my cousin get married. Ceremony had some flaws, but overall it was lovely. Couldn't say so in front of relatives who might take umbridge, but she's very probably my favourite cousin and it was nice to be there for her big day.
Along the way I got fed 3 turkey dinners, practically through a tube in one case. So while I had to work all of Thanksgiving, it wasn't so bad, as a) I got all that turkey (one of them was deep-fried... oh god, but it was good); b) I was with the family all weekend, including relatives I hadn't seen in years; and c) I got paid $30 an hour and there wasn't even any real work to do. $367.50 to thread projectors and watch West Wing and Spaced on my laptop.
And now, the bad. Yes, another list. I'm all about lists right now.
1)One of the other projectionists picked a fight in the logbook and tomorrow I'm gonna have to go to war. I've been there three years, I keep that booth running, he's got no gorram place implying I don't know how to do my job 'cause he thinks we shouldn't run Corpse Bride on Sky High. I'll take him down if I have to.
2)One of my Two Guys cast is in India right now, and I currently have no way of telling if she was clear of the earthquake or not. Seriously, folks, maybe being environmentally friendly costs jobs in steel mills, but hasn't anyone else noticed that Earth's started fighting back?
3)The new burlesque tour, featuring my absolute favourite, Fractal, does not appear to be hitting Calgary. Or Canada in general. Sad panda.
4)Serenity is not earning what it should. It's too good to not make $100 million. It's too good to end.
Well, I'm out of lists. It's late. I go now. But before I leave, this thought: only one more month before Masquerade and I start pestering you about U-Boat of the Soul. Hey, it hurts me more than you.

calixte:
The "past" I spoke of her having was that last year her roommate moved all the time, and being new to the big city she followed - so she moved 3 times in 8 months. 
masquerade:
I'm also very tempted to end everything wiht, "But I don't wanna explode!"
