Are ya sure it was only two days off?!
Hi kids
Loads going on this weekend, in fact I'm buggered not literally like the creepy school teacher guy wanted on Friday night, just tired. :)
So on the way home on Friday I'm thinkin' of all the stuff that I wanted to do..
Have a nap, work on the tan, go see a movie, go out "entertaining", err I mean get something to eat. So as I was pondering this I suddenly realized that I could do all of it! *grin*
So I got home, stripped off, rushed out into the back garden, (much to the horror of the neighbors who were puttering about), and flopped semi naked whiteness down on a towel and promptly passed out for a bit, woke up long enough to move out of the shadow cast by the garage and flipped myself so as not to be over done.
Passed out again until I was woken by the draft from being in the shadow again.
Shower, shit and a shave later and I'm in the car on the way to the movies. Never again am I going to the movies on a Friday night alone, I felt like a dirty old man. The place was literally full of kids out on dates, or simply sitting behind me giggling to each other.. I think I'm getting old ;)
So I watched Kicking and Screaming, pretty good, about as funny as Elf, if ya know what I mean, I was sitting there giggling to myself while the rest of the audience was quite.. Must be the whole British/American humor thing at work again.. But the movie was not bad, laughed out loud a couple of times and didn't need to pee (which is a great indicator of how entertaining a movie is. If I need to pee my bodies saying it's bored.)
Eventually found my car again, in the chaos of Star Wars opening. Seemed that every man and there do was out for it.. Any way nipped home, dumped the car and walked - yes some of us actually walk to bars - to the local. Couldn't decide what I wanted to drink but decided that I can't date bartenders of waitresses or anybody else that works in any of the bars that I frequent, way to many problems :( Let me explain about this bar. It's more of a restaurant that's pretending to be a bar if ya know what I mean. The food is actually rather good, the problem is that an 8oz steak is $13, if you want shrimp with it it's $14.50!! Where's the logic in that?!
So I always end up eating chicken fingers.. Any idea how quickly chicken fingers get old?
So sitting there minding my own business wondering if anybody I know will walk in and talk to me, I think I'm done with that place, I gave it a chance, but it's one of those that all the "regulars" sit at one end of the bar and look down on everyone else, there's also the mug club problem. Ya can't trust a bar that does a mug club, it smacks of favoritism, or is it elitism? Some ism anyway!
Highlights? OK.
Shot the bar, (bought the entire bar a shot). received the "eye of acquisition" from a rather lovely girly - please remember that this may or may not have happened, she may or may may not be lovely as I've explained before I should not be allowed to select my own potential girlfriends, yes they will all make you miserable in the end, but I would like to delay the inevitable as long as possible! Oh yeah then the Lakewood flashback as the guy at the end of the bar comes over to "speak" to me when in fact he's trying to pick me up.. Very disturbing, especially the glint in his eye as he asks if I want a ride home, yeah right, they would have found what was left of me in a ditch in Pennsylvania! *shudder*
Saturday
Feeling a bit ropey on Saturday, thought I would have a nice quite day, play a game online perhaps, do the laundry, nip out at some point and get something to eat, you know the usual. It was not meant to be. Oh it started out ok, heard from Mumsie that of course she's speaking to me why the hell wouldn't she be :) Started the laundry the hole in the floor didn't flood the basement! Whoo-hoo! Played a bit of DAOC. Still can't remember what the password for the other account is.. Very annoying, but never mind, plod along.
So I nipped out to lunch about 3, thinkin', "ahh food and a nap and life will be worth living again". I pop into Denny's and grab a bite, I don't know if it's a good thing or not but they ask if I'm still not smoking - I'm not, still obstinate, no that's not the right word, I mean the one that means doing without.. Anyway I finish up and I'm pulling into the money machine so I'll have cash for later when the phone goes off, presuming it's X I start to ignore it, after all everyone else I know, knows that I probably have a stinking headache, turns out everyone didn't care :)
Before I continue I have to say this: Surly you may hate me for not inviting you but I didn't have time, then when I do call ya don't call me back.. Err that sounds like me! *grin*
To continue then, it's SB on the phone, wanting to know if I'd be interested in goin' to see Star Wars, he has the wife calling round the theaters for tickets. "Sure" says I thinkin' there's no bloody way are they gonna find seats on the first weekend it's out. Wrong, five minutes later, "She's found one, only 35 tickets sold for a 500 seat cinema", he says. Crap, and to make it worse it starts in an hour! I have no idea where the cinema is, where I am, who I am. OK. One step at a time..
I roll up to the house, have the afternoon constitutional and decend to the basement for directions. K, find directions print em, just about to leave when the phone goes off again. This isn't normal, I get perhaps one call a week, if I'm lucky, now I've used up three weeks quota in one bloody day!
It's DB, "Stewie tells me that your going to see StarWars, but you don't know where it is!" I try a feeble attempt to get out of it but end up agreeing to pick him up on the way, he's gonna jump in the shower and I better leave "right now, mister" if I'm to get him and get to the movies in time.
Get to his house just as he call me to find out where I am (More bloody minutes!) "Outside your house". "Oh, be right out". And were off, turns out I knew where the movie theater was, just didn't know what it was called :)
More later, gotta do some work today..

There's SB waiting for us, they already have seats, middle of the middle, very nice.
About the movie? I hate Yoda. Otherwise it answered all my lingering questions. That's all your getting.
