so let go, jump in

So I got a gorgeous new quilt for Christmas from my aunt, and got a simple new curtain to go with it. I was sick in bed for most of this weekend, but managed to put away Christmas decorates (sob!) and hem the curtain yesterday (waaay overdid it. Was hemming in bed curled in my Harry Potter blanket). I redid my bed today (still need new sheets, but you can't see those, so yay!) so it all came together. There's still a bit more I'd like to do, but since I haven't decided what that is yet, and budget and my decorating abilities are at a minimum, this is what you get for now! Plus pictures of recent and not-so-recent updates, since it's actually kinda clean (Don't mind toys along the floor, we've got a kitten and it's like living with a toddler. Or a puppy. She's defective *and* evil.)

First off, I put these all in an lj gallery, so you can totally just browse here if you wanted. But if this is easier, then: ( pictures ahoy! )

i miss kim.

( found this while playing...should be sleeping )

more like... verbal diahrrea of the typing fingers.

Which will be hard, seeing as I'm the nine fingered chick still, for the most part.

Basically, I'm wiped. We (kimberlysghost, movie_freak2010 and Poopy's friend Kyle) just got back (Poopy and Kyle to their own homes, that is) from a 5+ hour event at the University of Hartford.

Yours truly was five rows away from Mr Kevin Smith.

That's so fuckin' awesome.

He talked about... (and here's where I get random)

the Passion of the Christ (Damn, I love this man. I swear he phrased some of it exactly as I have in talking about this film)
Joey's nudity in Mallrats
Mewes' sobriety (he didn't answer when he first called, so we heard his voicemail, but then Jay called back. Nice)
how much he loves his wife
his defining moment (to him) as a filmmaker- connecting to his (then) four year old daughter with Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
his pick for president (Vote.) (Also. He prefers The Punisher.)
a good thirtyfive minutes on Degrassi High (literally like some junior high kid telling his buddies about last night's ep) and then about his cameo arc (his most upcoming "project")
J Lo's ass and his non-viewing of it (he's a "from the neck up" kinda guy)
the bloodsucking nature of Hartford folk
his upcoming projects (Clerks 2, Fletch Won, straight-to-video Animated Clerks (flash??) ...Dogma 2???)
kids tv, including but not limited to Spongebob and Dora (the highlights) and something with Rainbow...Fish? dunno. Guess it's lame.
actual experiences clerking with Bryan Johnson, the true inspiration for Randal
what types of guys girls should really be looking for (geeks are loyal)
his experience watching Sky Captain with his family (Jen and Harley were out like lights, and he shot his load watching Angelina Jolie burst out of the water and fly away with a jet pack)
how he'll show up at a small local convention if the Vice Chair would let him watch her and her boyfriend have sex (no touching, he's married)
$80 phone sex with his wife while on the road (he admits it was worth it)
this couple in the audience who, at 18, had been dating for 4 years but didn't really like each other and didn't want to get married and he was of the "shit or get off the pot" mentality and trying to help 'em out
working with the monkey it's an ape. on Mallrats and how shit scared Mewes was that it was going to bite off his fingers 'cause he was almost at puberty (his name wasn't Suzanne, by the way, I forget what it was. Kim? Poopy?)

My brain is malfunctioning. I'm going to make a few hot dogs and head off to bed for a couple hours.

That was the coolest thing ever. Damn. Really. If you at all have the chance, go see that man speak. He's funny and irreverent and vulgar (heh) and pretty random, but he's had some kind of a great life and has some fantastic stories to tell.
