Phew! That was the weekend then! Seemed to fly by at a rate of knots and here we are, Sunday night coming to a close, Monday almost upon us again!
Friday: Went to the Old Spaghetti Factory with Brian then hit the movies to see Freedomland. Awful movie. Like really bad. Started off ok for the first 5 minutes then turned really random, strange, odd. IMDB currently rates it 4.9 out of 10. I’d say that was generous. I’ll go with a.. hmm.. 2? or 3? nah, fuck it - a 2.. it was the kind of movie you should have walked out of.
Before the movie started, Doug steps up and does his spiel about turning off cellphones and pagers, no feet on seats etc - the standard drill.. thankfully there was no awkward audience participation required to win a poster or movie goody bag etc.. but he was trying to get people to dig in to their pockets and buy a Variety heart for $3. And no one wanted one.. except me. Much as I’d rather contribute directly than through some Paramount corporate fundraising drive, I felt sorry for the guy, and also for the kids.. come on people - this is sick children we’re talking about.. what’s $3? DO IT!
Saturday: Woke up early. Said sod it and went back to sleep. Woke up later and felt kinda grotty. Got up, mooched around, went out for lunch and to run a few errands. Met up with Kevin and went to the movies again, this time to see Final Destination 3. Much better movie! Sure, it’s a bit teen cheese porn with it, but generally entertaining in a lighthearted way. IMDB currently rates it 6.3 out of 10. Yeah, I’d go with a 7.
Came home, chilled for a bit, then went round to Gill & Steve’s for food, drink, chat. Good time had by all :-)
Sunday: Got up at a reasonable hour and Shawn phoned literally minutes later. He’d been up and about since the crack of dawn (his regular weekday sleep pattern) and was keen to do something sooner rather than later.. fair enough.. I jump in the shower, scrub up, get vaguely presentable and we headed out in search of a new camera for him. Eventually tracked the one he wanted down at Staples and all was well.
Came home, chilled, did laundry, chatted online, watched a bit of TV, and here I am.. Sunday night, ready for bed, another week flown by, and back to the grind tomorrow.. where DOES the time go?!
