Firstly: New ROTK:EE Trailer!!!

Last night, I rented the Firefly DVDs and had a mini "Intro to the Genius that is Firefly" party for Ko and Aaron and any of my roommates and friends that happened to show up. I ordered pizza for me and Aaron and a salad for Ko. But here is where my plan went horribly wrong. "Aaron wants plain cheese," I thought, "and I like plain cheese, too. But I prefer canadian bacon and black olive. I'll just get half and half!" A brilliant plan, thought I! It wasn't until I was waiting downstairs for the pizza to arrive that I realized with a shock of horror my mistake. Aaron adheres to conservative Judaism. He keeps seperate sets of dishware and utensils for dairy and meat, and he doesn't even get close to pork. And I ordered a pizza half canadian bacon. I am officially the most culturally insensitive person on the planet.

He was really nice about it, and after a great deal of flailing on my part, trying to come up with substitutes or fixes, we settled with cutting away any bits that were 2 inches away from any meat. After making the first cut, I promptly started spazzing over not having properly kosherized utensils, and he laughed and said it was fine and blew me a kiss. *squeak*

We watched Serenity first, then Our Mrs. Reynolds, as Ko showed clear Mal fangirlish tendencies early on. Both are now eager to see more, go me! Hopefully we'll be able to schedule another get-together next weekend, and I can put Ko and Nikki's lessons on "leaning", headtilts, and other forms of subtle body language into effect. Bwaha!

Afterwards, he gave me a goodnight hug, and we parted ways, him going to a Shakespeare party, and me going with Ko, Nikki, and Deep to the SAE party to cheer on our friend Daniel, whose band was playing. Gah. My first and last frat party. Far too loud, with unpredictable, blinding strobes, and so many people that you couldn't stand still (much less move) without being trampled and shoved around by a bunch of underage drunks. Not fun in the least. I stayed 20 minutes to support Daniel, then left with Matt. I don't know what people see in these parties.


Did I mention that Ko and I have pretty much finished our room? We've been plotting to put Christmas lights up for ages, and we finally got them up yesterday afternoon. I also finished a huge block of the photo montage thing I'm going behind my shelves, and I put up the "Hero" miniposters we got of ebay a few feeks ago. Man, our room looks FANTASTIC. I think I'll take pictures right now.

Ko with the Door of Liberal Hotness
The Door of Liberal Hotness! To be made clickable and magnifiable tomorrow when I don't have a midterm to study for.

Meanwhile, why has no one pointed this HP fanart website out to me before? Good lord on a stick, I am such a fangirl. You all fail as my friends.
