Very tired. Must write 99th post for November. Will give quick review of Beowulf.

3-D was cool for about 20 minutes.

Then I fell asleep.

Then I woke up.

Movie over.

The VIP place was uber cool with couches and wine dispensing machines. (Someday I’ll be able to actually enjoy that.) Wine dispensing machines. Totally wicked awesome, as my kinda-tipsy husband called it. So, even though I didn’t really like the movie as anything more than naptime, the night was cool.

• League of Maternal Justice: YouTube ALSO Hates Breastfeeding Mom
  This stuff is starting to piss me off. I’ve have seen WAAAY more upsetting things on YouTube than moms nursing their kids. Give me a break.
• Channel surfing leads to stabbing
  I have threatened this type of violence on my husband before the days of TiVo. Please don’t judge me.

We’re going to see Beowulf tonight to celebrate MrZ’s birthday (tomorrow). I told him I’d take him to the new theater in Huntsville and we’d do the VIP movie experience thing. You get booze and appetizers before the movie, and then cushy seats in a balcony during. It’s fancy. I knew he would love it because he is so fancy.

Unfortunately, I didn’t look at what movies were part of the VIP experience in advance. If I had, I would have known Beowulf was showing and I would have known he would pick it. And he did. And I have ZERO desire to see that movie. BAH. But now I’m stuck because it’s his birthday so he gets to pick. Not. Fair.

So, have you seen it? Is it going to suck as much as I fear? Or is it going to be surprisingly awesome?

There’s breaking news all over the news wires right now. There is a Hostage situation at the Hillary Clinton campaign office in New Hampshire. However, I have to admit I got this alert first from my feed subscription to TMZ. I am adequately ashamed about this but also glad my tabloid sites do a good job at keeping me informed if there is real news going on. Makes me feel a tad less guilty about the fact that I have no news outlets on my feed reader.

Anyway - just some breaking news (from CNN, not TMZ) I thought I’d share with you. Keep them in your thoughts this afternoon.

Guess what LilZ asked me to do this week? Come on…guess. He asked me to serve refreshments at his upcoming school dance. As in…he has no problem with me being at the school dance. He doesn’t think I’m too embarrassing to ask to help out. He has no fear of the pain I could inflict by attending such an event. He’s not worried I’ll bring along naked pictures (of him, not me) or tell embarrassing stories. He’s even grateful I’ll do it because evidently there’s some sort of drama and if they don’t get enough volunteers something tragic will happen. Like, no music, or something. Either way - he actually thought I’d say no. He had no idea I would consider this such an honor that I might cry a little at the excitement.

My son! He’s not ashamed of me!

Unless, of course, he’s not planning on telling anyone he knows me. Which could be the case. And would probably be smart, now that I think about it.
