Getting packed...well, obviously not at this very moment.
Tomorrow I fly off to Ithaca, NY -- squee! I haven't seen my sister in 3 years, and we've always been very close; I'm really, really looking forward to spending time with her again. And I'm taking along DVDs galore! I hope to get her hooked on Firefly -- after the trauma of the movie, it's taken me this long to finally get to the point where I think I can watch the series again without being sad. (Joss Whedon, you bastard!) Meanwhile, she has her recent Wiseguy obsession to share with me, among other things. And I get to meet ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
derry667 and tipper_green over in Boston, and maybe try to get down to NYC and hang out with trishalynn, too, if I can. (Another person I haven't seen in ages, after getting drunk together at comic cons all through the early 2000s.) There's so much to do! Two weeks will be gone before I know it.
*bounce bounce* It's a measure of how much I want to take this trip that I'm so excited, because I'm really not a person who enjoys traveling; the night before I go somewhere is usually a time of regrets and fretting and an overwhelming desire to just huddle in my cave. But I'm so eager to go that I'm not even dreading the standard 15-hour flight to get ANYWHERE that isn't Alaska. (The irony of it all is that I know quite a few people who are going to Dragon*Con, and I'm going to actually be IN Atlanta in about 24 hours ... at the airport. For 2 hours. And then I'll be gone. Probably the closest I'll come to most of those people for quite some time!)
My only regret is that I'll miss my very favorite time of year in Fairbanks, early-to-mid fall with crisp 65-degree days and bright colors. It's not quite going to be fall yet on the East Coast, and then I'll get back just in time for SNOW. *sobs*

My sister didn't go to school there, but she works for the USDA at Cornell (she's a genetics lab tech).

My personal approach to the movie is, "Movie? What movie?", so - yes. I feel your pain.
Bon voyage. ♥

Hee! Nice know I'm not the only one! Oh Joss. I almost never rewrite canon in my head; usually (like with the best friends thing in SGA) I'll find a way to rationalize it in terms of what I want to see. *g* But this? Nope ... there is no movie, there never was a movie, and the crew are still flying around out there in the black ... all of them.
