home again, home again, hippety hop!

returning from baton rouge on sunday with a couple days off ahead of me, i couldn't help but wishing that i didn't have to spend them at the dmv, doctor's office, and doing laundry. but the pill was a little easier to swallow when i realized that i don't have to make my way back to an airport for a full month.

a month. at home. whatever will i do?

well.  i think i'll start by having dinner with a cute (local and mormon!) guy i met in november.

then i plan to join some friends for the dr. who season premiere (complete with souffles in honor of the doctor's new companion).

then i'll finish off the week by making my way over to wondercon (comic-con's little sister conference) to gawk at nathan fillion and joss whedon at their 'much ado about nothing' panel.

had you heard? did you know that joss had re-made much ado? given that i use emma thompson and kenneth branagh's benedick and beatrice as a model for my ideal relationship, there is much to live up to.  but if anyone can, joss can. (trailer below)

since tickets to the sunday line-up are $10, and it's in my backyard (moved from san francisco due to scheduling conflicts), i could hardly resist. it will be an atypical easter, but i'm hoping the timing works out so that i can join my cousins for dinner to celebrate the holiday.

at some point, i'd also like to see 'the host,' the new movie based on stephenie meyer's book (which by the way, was MUCH better than her more popular vampire series), but, i guess i've got plenty of time for that... uh hip, hip, to the hoppety hip, to the hip hop hippety hop. okay, yeah, i'm a little excited to be home.
