Holy shit, the dark knight? Has become the top grossing movie of all time. It beat out spiderman, and took in 18 million on the night of the THURSDAY MIDNIGHT SCREENING alone. That's better than alot of movies do their whole run.
Got home from the NY ren faire last night. Trip was loads of fun. I kinda miss road tripping with the girls, even if we do all want to kill each other by the end of the weekend.
Got up there on friday and basically crashed after sorting out outfits for the next day, there were a couple of the vendors staying in the same B&B as us, so it was nice to be surrounded by the faire folk.
Went up to the faire on saturday, after walking through walmart in full ren gear and getting STARED at. Alot. Pretty nice day for it all too, and there were a bunch of new vendors there this year, which was a cool suprise.
Tiff, of course, had to see the new circus act that had just started and glare at them. (Whilst muttering a running commentary on their performance of course). Was good this year, did not buy the $1100 Boots o' Doom. Even if they were calling to me. Next year maybe. Picked up a few new necklaces, a pair of nice mugs and a bit of art. As well as the most awesome soap ever. There's a shop at the faire which does gourmet and odd soaps and perfumes and potions, and they had 2 I could not resist getting. Cinnamon and Oats, which smells like cookies and the country, made me kinda nostalgic, and Beggars Blend, which was beer, tobacco and leather. It smelled WONDERFUL and I cannot wait to use it.
Got another ode composed to me, thank god KT and the others weren't there again, this one was mostly about how my skin was so nice because I didn't have leprosy. V Nice. I love faire folk. And according to Tiff, now that she's senn a circus show CAN work the ren circuit, she's determined to do it better. She wants to become a part of the faire, which somehow led to her deciding that me, the accident and injury prone clutz, is going to learn fire eating and juggling. I'm not going to have any eyebrows or eyelashes left, bet you $20.
Went to see Hancock after the faire, was.... amazingly different from what I was expecting and very very good. Will definitely be buying that.
Second day at the faire was spent trying not to drown under the torrential downpour that started and stopped all day. Then driving home and trying not to pass out in the car as I was supposed to be navigating.
Got home, collapsed and unpacked. Prised the yowling cats off me who were demanding love and attention. (And food of course) Then crashed.
Feel as if I haven't slept in a week, will likely go home and collapse this afternoon, but am distracted in the mean time with thoughts of costume designs and lighting things on fire.
