So Kidd was playing AFI's Miss Murder on Guitar Hero 3 while I was teasing her that she would never beat my score. And neither would I. lol But! I started patting along with the guitar rhythm when someone else joined in with me.

And the rhythms said other person was beating were correct and on time!

The only other person in the room was..... my dad. XD

AHA!! Successful conversion! Fan of AFI's Miss Murder! Boo-to-teh-YA! 

He says: "What? It's a good song."

XDDD Oh yes. It be a verreh good song indeed!

As I type, little Pat (the black kitten) is climbing all over me. She (yes, we found out a while ago that she's actually not a he and that she just had a... er... saggy bum for a bit) is particularly fond of my hair and keeps getting tangled. Her sissy, who we have dubbed Siren because she can wail like one and she's also quite pretty, is somewhere in the front room, no doubt running around. They've grown a lot!

Today, I didn't get any writing done like I'd planned on. I am, however, not upset about this. One, because of the extension, and two, because today has put me into such a good mood that I think tomorrow, I'll be able to make very good headway.

Firstly, I picked up a book that's NOTHING but analogies at Barnes and Noble today! :D Apparently, there's a test called the Miller Analogy Test, shortly known as MAT. I have no idea why someone would need to take said exam, but I'm very glad for its existance! I picked up a study guide for it! Along with a ton of analogies, it also has definitions and very brief histories of people... I'm gonna learn a lot from studying for this exam!

Which, when I asked about an analogy book, the attendants thought I was crazy when I told them, "Oh, it's not for a test. I just like analogies." LOL

After that, we had dinner, and then it was off to the movies for Speed Racer. (With my ticket, I got some totally awesome Prince Caspian trading cards! They're pretty! Especially the people on the cards. XD) We arrived really early though, so we spent some time loitering in the lobby, oohing and ahhing the coming sure-to-be blockbusters of the near future. 

Ter, my mom, and I Oohed, Ahhed, and Squeed over the simple X-Files poster and decided that in preparation for it, we're going to watch every. single. episode. Plus the first movie! :D She's ordering them on Netflix right now! I feel like breaking out the movie right now, actually...

But. This is supposed to be about Speed Racer!

I don't know what movie everyone else watched, but the movie I just watched was EXCELLENT!!

So if you haven't seen this movie, I can't reccommend it highly enough. I know the preivews make it look sucky - even suckier than the previews make Iron Man look! But like Iron Man, Speed Racer is wonderful surprise. It's a fun, action-packed movie that has the ability to move and inspire you if you allow it. ;)
