And a happy Coming Out Day to us all!
Oct. 11th, 2010 01:39 pmI'm queer. I mostly like girls, but sometimes I like boys, and sometimes I like people who are neither, or both.
Now this is a holiday I can feel good about, as opposed to the incoherent muddle that is Thanksgiving, which we never seem to celebrate anyway.

Went to Geek Night at a local revue theatre yesterday. They were showing The Shining with what had to have been an original 1980 print - you should have seen the light damage and wear & tear on this thing. It had entirely forgotten the meaning of the word black. (Unfortunately, it hadn't forgotten the meaning of the N-word, which I'd forgotten was spoken multiple times in one scene. Even though it's being said by a crazed homicidal ghost and could probably be explained away as the character's word choice, not the filmmaker's, there's still something deeply uncomfortable about watching that scene nowadays. Just goes to show you how much the world has changed.)
Anyway, they do trivia contests for prizes on Geek Nights. Which means it's essentially "give Kath some prizes" night when you consider they're asking horror movie questions. I stopped after one prize, because I'm not that much of a dork, but yeah, I think Geek Night will be a thing from now on, if only for the cool prizes.
How do you like my new shower curtain?
It's way better than the flowered one I last used. I have vowed not to warn anyone ahead of time when they come to visit. Muahaha.
So, yeah. If you need someone to out-geek all your horror geeks, call me. Seriously, it's kind of my thing.
