premiere excitement

Tickets are booked for the Two Towers on Thursday after my Criminal Law exam. It still itches the heck out of me that I'm going to miss the premiere since I'll be camped out at the Abigail reminding myself of the difference between false pretenses and larceny-by-trick, but at least I'll see it the following day. The fancrowds should still be reasonably amusing at that point; I wager they won't thin out for a week or two. You know the ones I mean -- the ooh-ahh-ers, the laughers and screamers and criers and applauders at battle scenes.

My husband, nervous at the thought of our scheduled Saturday departure for two weeks back east, opined that we should take Thursday and Friday to get our domestic ducks in a row before leaving the state. This would mean waiting until Saturday evening to see the movie, which was simply unacceptable to me. Particularly after two weeks of law school exams. You'd better believe I'm getting my carrot. "We can see it *again* on Saturday," I concluded. And we probably will.
