I love the winter break lifestyle. Sleeping in, staying up, eating whenever, watching whatever, doing the things that pop into my head. It's been snowing like crazy here, so going out to do things has been hard and requires planning, but it hasn't been so bad.
Yesterday, my dad and I went out to do some last-minute Christmas gift shopping for my mom. We've done this ever year since, oh, about freshman year. We do it because, well, my dad has no idea what to get for my mom, who typically buys 90% of her presents. This ticks me off, so ever since I've had a decent grasp on what she wants, I've been helping Dad out, who has slooooooooowly gotten better.
As we stood in Bath and Body Works yesterday, I turned to him and asked, "So what did you do before you had kids?" He paused before looking at me and answering, "Failed. A lot." Oh, my poor dad. XD;
And I finally went off to the post office and mailed off the Cinematic Titanic DVDs/Christmas presents to Ashlyn and TC. The post office was quiet and the people were nice, which is...nice to know. The lady behind me in line liked my haircut (got it chopped off again Saturday). But maaaan, bloody cold.
Concerning the post title: The last three episodes of MST3K I've watched have all been Warner Bros. movies. XD I dunno why I find this strange, but I do. I figured I should watch Catalina Caper (ep. 204), then decided to make a winter break goal of watching all the episodes from season one. Moon Base Zero (ep. 110) is actually quite good, and I'm currently watching Untamed Youth (ep. 112).
Y'know, the first season has got this bad rap of being, well, bad, and so far, that's proven not true. As long as you watch it with the context that it was their first nationally broadcast season, they're fun to watch. The movies seem to not be so gawd-awful (though I just may be lucky XD) and it has more of a leisurely pace than the rest. And I don't care what anybody says, Josh Weinstein is funny and makes a good Tom Servo. *STARES AT TC*
Two days until Christmas! OH! YEAH! My brother's getting Brawl (from me), so if you're still interested, GUESS WHAT?! xD
Report time!
Here's all the pictures, plus comments!
Kat Goes to Cinematic Titanic
And so…after a rather haphazard...

I'm in an odd state of geekout. I mean, I'm excited, but also friggin' nervous. It's kind of like the days and hours leading up to ACen, except this is a bit different.
In case you're just tuning in, my topic of excitement is seeing Cinematic Titanic in Chicago tonight. After the show, I get to meet the crew and buy stuff and get things signed. Yeah, nerd bliss right thar.
What makes this different from ACen is the fact that my age group isn't quite the norm for its fans. Anime is a teenager/young adult thing...CT is...well, not. It's a carryover from a show that was created before I was born and ran until I was in middle school [well, re-runs]. I watched it on TV when I was a toddler and up until Comedy Central took it off, so while I have memories of it, they're not exactly active ones - I remember tidbits and pieces and emotions I had. [For instance, the puppets creeped me out, and I thought the silhouettes were funny and neat.]
It's not like I'm worried about this fact, I'm just kinda...curious.
...
But I'm still just so friggin' excited. Camera's charged, cell's charging to full capacity, wallet is full, necklace is ready, and the Kat is...antsy. XD
It's a terrible story and the guy's a complete IDIOT, but I couldn't help but burst out laughing [and confuse my parents in the process]:
CINEMATIC TITANIC TOMORROW
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
While I am indeed very excited for the break and all that, I'm sad that I have to leave my baby Krankor. ;__________;
Took several photos today, but it was still sad. But here's last picture of him wiff mommy...
It's also been snowin' here and stuff. Well, THAT'S not unusual. In fact, why am I even mentioning this? XD
