I decided to make a day of it and took off for Dinner and a Movie. Originally, I'd planned to hit the Alamo Drafthouse again, but they were showing MIB2 JUST about the time I decided to go watch the movie....so I looked around for a nice late showing anywhere else. And I found a 9:25 showing at the Highland 10. Kinda knew where it was...I figured I could find it...eventually.
I did look up the location of the nearest Fuddruckers, since I decided Fudd's was what I craved and desired. So I left at 7:30 - I figured 30 minutes to get there, an hour for lunch, and 1/2 hour to the movie. I got where the Mapquest said the nearest Fuddruckers was...and was staring at a Hampton Inn. About ten minutes later, I found where the Fuddruckers was, on the opposite side of the highway, about a mile down from where Mapquest said it was.
This isn't the first time that's happened. Time to stop using MapQuest.
I got a tasty burger/fries combo (No ribeye burger? They had them in Pennsylvania!) and sat down with the copy of Suzanne Vega's poetry I got a few days ago. Unfortunately the super obnoxious gaggle of high schoolers on the other end of the room, loud enough for me to FOLLOW their conversations about who was sleeping with who and who had a bigger dick, really annoyed me. Thankfully, the poetry was more interesting and they were ignored.
After dinner, I found the theater and was REALLY creeped out.
In San Antonio, there's a small theater chain, locally owned, and their theaters are dim, but are colored a nice purple. It wasn't dark enough to be scary, or uncomfortable, but not light enough to hurt your eyes. In Austin, most of the big chains are these cathedral three story looking lobbies that are just MASSIVE looking. This place...well...it was pitch black. You walked in and people were just shadows. The concession stand was brightly lit, but the lobby...well...I felt like I was gonna smack into a wall several times.
There were only three people in the theater with me (the joys of seeing a movie a month and a half after it's released). MIB2 was a good movie, if a bit short. The line "Anyone with a good set of mammary glands can take over this planet" is incredibly true. :) I didn't like the constant one-upping Agent K did, but other than that, it was GREAT.
The evening was marred by one little event...I went to my PO Box to check the mail, and there was a girl talking on the phone there. Granted, It's 11PM and I'm pulling into the only parking lot with anyone else in it...but the look this woman gave me, that I was a some sort of rapist kidnapper coming to take her away disturbed me. Maybe it wasn't uncalled for (That late - alone), but it really just made me feel bad....
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
Nothing - most of the day was spent in a daze, Saturday, and a headache Sunday.
Tonight, I try to go to bed early so I can take care of Sean...the next three weeks are gonna be hard...but it's only three weeks. And as long I have some melatonin ppills, I should be able to get to sleep when I NEED to, versus when I WANT to.
Three weeks of this.
Did I mention that I came REALLY close to quitting Dell simply because I was having trouble waking up at 6AM for training? Oy.....
