What I learned yesterday at the movies..
I made a few observations from the 12+ hour day I spent in the theater yesterday...lets see what I learned:
1. Hollywood wonders why the box office is slow and folks aren't going to the movies as much? I know why! The two IDIOTS who sat next to me and TALKED thru all 3 dang movies...I was ready to just lean over and listen to what was so important because the could not keep from talking about it for hours...argh!
2. The food was really good, but lemme tell ya -
when you're in a dark theatre and someone hands a bowl of food to you, you really DO like to see what you're eating..Have you ever eaten something w/out looking at it? Especially when a fancy chef has put a twist on whatever the item is..Give it a try - eat something that someone gives you in the dark and see how you feel about it...
3. 12 hours is a LOOOONG time to be squirreled away...I knew I'd be tied up all day in the theatre, but I feel like yesterday was just a blip on my screen...I got nothing done...I feel kinda guilty being out of touch for that long...It wasn't really a vacation, it was almost being in a 'lock in'...I coulda left I suppose, but then that wasn't the point...
So, in summation, the next time we decide to pull an allnighter watching movies, we're gonna make our own popcorn, watch our own DVD's in our own house with our own kitties and puppy and not feel guilty about it...Brian said he was glad they didn't show the extended versions because we woulda been there till 11:00 or later...he was grateful to be out by 10:00pm...and I thought I was the only one itching to leave...heh...
So today starts the week off right...its gonna be over 100 today, August summer is definitely here, so I'm in the studio catching up on emails, picking up more birthday presents and making beads later this afternoon...The dog has been out in the sun soaking up the rays and the kitties are finding spots to curl up in...all is right on this Monday..is it really the 22nd already? woohoo, that means football is right around the corner...rock on!

Talking is rude, very rude but my new issue is with GROWN ADULTS eating popcorn by grotesquely chewing with their mouths open. What's with that? Can't get it eaten fast enough? It's just gross, pure and simple. I don't think I paid to listen to that!
