whoah-oh whoa YEAH!

so.

tried not to spend as much of Saturday in bed as I usually do. Maragor called and said two of his friends were standing out in the cold waiting for somebody of the live-ins to show up at the apartment with a key. that meant speeding by train home to Callie (also in order to be in time for the Atlantis première), so I didn't bother bringing my entire "costume" to the private Halloween party there.

which actually was very well conducted. the decorations were, despite lots of improvisation, really magnificent. and I don't think I'll ever tire of the hosts. truly wonderful people. got to meet shaliMa at last. about time! admirable person by all accounts and personal observations. ;-)

Maragor was worried about his costume - a tad unnecessary the way I saw it, after all it's the makeup that counts on Halloween. no reason everybody should "be" something as long as there's a certain amount of coolness and the grotesque present.

particularly good time at around 03, listening through Lateralus together with Callie, later note: and Zathyra, of course. sorry!, Tommy BK, and his gf Lisa. grreat!

left to find my place in the FotR ticket line at 11 on Sunday, but didn't reach the line until noon, had to wait for Farmen. very cool, in more than one way. my most profound thanks go out to all the people who came up (or down) to visit us and keep us company. Callie to keep me warm and comfort me, Maragor and shaliMa for reminding us of the world outside the Line, M. with her funny smoke, Rex for the hot chocolate, and our good neighbors from Stavanger. I now know with absolute certainty I'm going to have to get myself a deck of Chez Geek.

so after having negotiated less than sanitary facilities for doing the morning toilet amidst leaves covered in hoarfrost, and after having watched the not-quite-spectacular show preceding the opening of the box office at 08 (but with lots of very good costumes), our designated line numbers (134 and 135 for myself and Farmen, respectively) were about 5 numbers short of getting in on the 00:01 show. bummer. but we have really really really good seats to the 16:40 show. contact me on email for bidding rules. (ha!) =)

a little giddy, I went to work directly after wards yesterday (burdened by my bag containing my wool blanket, my sleeping bag, and my folding office chair), then I fell asleep on my couch as soon as I got home... but at least I'm satisfied. :-)

going up to Leon's in a minute, I hope.

booking

as you can see, I didn't get to go to Leon's until it was too late. didn't find enough pocket change to catch the bus either, so I decided to just make the best of it here at home.

I would be tempted to see a young & aspiring concert in Asker arranged by my old folk high school friend Thomas this weekend, but I'm really booked... thursday Callie convinced me to watch MTV EMA with her and Maragor (feel like joining, Korova? ping me, it's gonna be here in my place). my condition was that we bring alcohol...

friday Sis arrives, then we're going together to another sketch writing night for the Xmas show. suspect there's gonna be alcohol involved there as well.

saturday I'm gonna attend an actor seminar with small courses, arranged by my friend's troupe organization. think there's a party that night as well, but I'm unable to partake in it, because it would collide with the great Annual Party of my company. it's held in the tallest hotel in the city. just like the Guard's Ball that time... haven't really spoken much to Sissel since in person, we had some online conversations after I started college.

I'll stop by the photographer's one of these days, and see if I can get to buy the enlarged picture. hope they are still archived.

oh, and tomorrow I plan to see Furia for who knows which time at So What! anybody wanna tag along? afraid the tickets are 70,- apiece, but...

sunday looks blank in my calendar. thank all the gods. hope I can see Callie then. or something. Kjinge reports he wants to see me as well... but I hope he's coming on friday night anyways.
