1. As my subject line has it - omigod, you guys. I'm in love and am so eloping to the Bahamas with the object of my affection!! ♥ ( details and phooooooootoooooooos )

2. Not only did I find the love of my life, I also went bookshopping, eeeeek. So much random retail therapy that I'm not even sure I DESERVE, but what the hey! ( today's haul )

3. Urgh, I have NOT taken public transport in a long time - I actually parked downtown and then took a train down to the IT show because parking there would've been a fool's errand and completely insane. Good thing too, I don't think I've EVER seen that many people shoved like flopping sardines into one area. Literally there were POLICE everywhere directing traffic, and setting up detours so that the tunnels wouldn't get too crowded. Manoeuvring in that crowd would have given anybody with agoraphobia nightmares for a millennium. Which is one reason I decided I should NOT leave with just a hard drive. ;) Oh, look, someone took a photo. Let it be said that the crowd I encountered was at least TWICE as bad, this being the last day of the fair and all. INSANITY.

4. Refusing to leave the IT fair meant that I cancelled on a couple of friends - we were supposed to watch a movie. I spent three hours wandering the convention instead (also getting stopped by random insurance people, argh) and my feet hurt SO MUCH by the end. But it's worth it. XD

5. Decided to watch a movie after that, having missed out on sombre Oscar-nominated Japanese fare - Race To Witch Mountain, which was a serviceably silly, workman-like action adventure. I think I have an affinity for The Rock that rivals my semi-crush on Brendan Fraser. Why do I find him oddly charming? I have no answer for this, but I do. A fun but entirely forgettable watch that dragged once more characters were brought into the mix.

6. Did I forget to mention that I totes didn't go into work as I'd planned? I got up at almost 3, decided there was no point going in (I will regret this come Monday) as I was SUPPOSED to watch the film at 1845H. Besides it was one of those gorgeously grey, stormy Sundays. Sleeping in was practically mandatory!

7. So it's been a good weekend - my family friend's big 21st birthday bash yesterday (at which my brother did a very brave thing, I must admit!!) and also Watchmen in the afternoon... which I THOROUGHLY enjoyed as a character study and deconstruction of the superhero myth. How awesomely fucked-up were all the characters, seriously? Those on Twitter would already know that I am OBSESSED with Rorschach - dude with the Rorschach ink stains perpetually wheeling across his masked face, with a penchant for breaking people's fingers and being generally scary/creepy/violent - and now have a crush on Jackie Earle Haley as a result. Yes, the same actor who freaked me the hell OUT as a freaky paedophile in Little Children. Apparently I am a screwed-up individual... and go me for being proud of that fact. XD Anyways. I loved the look, feel and many of the ideas that went into the movie. That being said, however, the plot was totally meh, Dr Manhattan's existential angst and epiphany bored me, and poor Matthew Goode (on whom I have a crush from Imagine Me And You) was a bit miscast as Ozymandias. Also, too looooong.

8. And now, though I want to spend time bonding with my new love ♥, I MUST go to bed. As I have said, I am going to regret the hell out of not going to work on Sunday. AUGH. Wish me luck for the week ahead. :(
