London tomorrow.

It's 12:45 and I have packed nothing. Not good. Instead I'm here. Huh.

Just got back from watching Valkyrie. Very good movie. Tragic ending as expected since Hitler wasn't assassinated in 1944, but not as shocking as The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas, which I saw on Tuesday. That was sad. I saw it coming, but it was sad. Suffice it to say that when the credits started to roll, no one got up. No one even spoke. We were all staring at the screen going, "Oh shit." Very good movie also, but you will need to watch something cheery afterwards.

Oh, the DVDs got here! All of them! Doctor Who shipped with 2 day shipping, Deadwood with regular, they both shipped on Monday and got here on the same day. I don't even care anymore as long as they're both here now before I leave. No way am I going to be bored at the airport in Philadelphia waiting for the second flight.

*snort* Packing beforehand is for the weak and the boring!

So Valkyrie was good, then? I'm a little...not expecting much from it. My dad wants to go, but I think I'll just wait till it comes out on video and buy it for him or something.

And yay DVDS and having something to do while waiting for your flights! Just hope that, you know, your battery's properly charged and everything.

I've noticed that the only people I know who pack before travel by plane only like every five years or so. You're not supposed to get any sleep the morning before, right?

I liked it. It doesn't really stand out from the rest, but it's chockful of good actors and it's interesting to learn how many people in Hitler's regime didn't agree with his way of handling things and tried to bring him down.

At the airport I can just plug it in since my battery's now draining in like two hours. I'm thinking of making icons on the flights, though I also have to do research.

My mother travels often and packs like three days in advance *laughs* But she takes a lot of stuff with her, usually. But no, cool people don't sleep the night before.

I did see that there were a lot of good actors, but my...dislike for Tom Cruise has kept me away thus far. The story is an interesting one, though.

Ah, that's a plan! Icons are fun as well, and research not so much but I guess you should ease yourself back into that sort of thing.
