Fan, as in fanatic

I haven't touched the camera all week. Shocking, right? And I can't say I didn't go anywhere or that the kids weren't being cute. I just didn't reach for it at all this week. I also haven't been online much this week. That is, I would turn on the computer and the messengers, check e-mail and blogs, and then I'd wander off. If I IM'd ya, you were one of a small number this week. My attention span was just not meant for my toys this week. Okay, except for in small spurts, like updating and personalizing my theme for Windows 7. :D Which is probably because I'm obsessed...

Let's see, it's been over a month since I watched Avatar (2009) at the movies with Dad. I freaking LOVE that movie. And I'm dying to see it again. Like, as if I'd never seen it before, dying to see it. I dunno what I was looking for, but one day I wound up finding and downloading an Avatar theme for Windows 7. :D So now, every other day I go and look for more pics to add to the desktop background folder. So every half hour, I get a new shot of the move or a promotional poster/wallpaper image. :) So, I guess I'm a bit obsessed. :P

Mom and I were going to venture to a movie theatre to watch it. I set aside some money for it, so she wouldn't have to worry about that. But each time we plan it, it falls through. Of course, it doesn't help that the show times aren't workday friendly. She gets off at 4pm and the show times are 3something, 7pm, and 1030pm (way too late for a two and a half hour movie on a work day :P ). We plan for the 7pm, but if work was long, hard, and or tiring, it seems kinda late. Work days are understandable. But last weekend she just didn't want to leave the house. Bleh. And I helped her make the bed the night before so she wouldn't be tired out after changing sheets in the morning. Anywho, it's been doing good at the box office. But I know they can't keep movies forever. Soon enough it will have so few show times, we'll be lucky if we can go on a weekend.

And then I start wondering well who do I want this for? In the beginning, it was because I wanted her to see this awesome movie on a big screen and for her to finally leave the house other than for simple necesity (appointment, market, pharmacy, etc,..). To finally get out there and conquer whatever is holding her hostage since we lost Josh. I mean even if we don't see Avatar, I still want her to get out there. She works from home, she has me and Dad for running errands, and Nana brings over stuff whereas Mom used to go pick it up. So, I dunno who screams the loudest in my head. The daughter who wants her mom to get out and live again or the fan geek who's DYING to see the movie again. Either way, each no or cancellating is starting to frustrate me. She says she wants to see movies. She says "how come you guys didn't invite me" after we went the one time. But she doesn't want to go when oppertunity presents itself.

Anywho... it's past 2am now. I have dishes, litter clean up, and bedtime routine. Tomorrow morning, Mom is scheduled to FINALLY take care of her teeth at the dentist. That is if she doesn't cancel AGAIN. No, no, last time wasn't her fault. Well, last two times. Last weekend or something, dentist had some sort of emergency, so when she called to cancel, they spoke first. :P And Tuesday, she thought she could get out early, but alas, work said no. Now, off to get clean and get ready (including packing "toys" to entertain me in waiting room). And hopefully, Nana won't drive me nuts.
