upset stomach, waiting in lines, and running into old friends

davey and i just got home from the movies. i know friday night at the movies are a cliche but hey, when you only get one day off a week to go it's the only way. so first things first, mamma mia or dark knight? davey was assuming i wanted to see mamma mia first so when i decided to watch dark knight first i could see his excitement really go into overload. we get to the movies and quite frankly i wanted to leave right away because the lines were nothing short of chaotic.

children left and right, cougars in bebe sweat outfits, persians smoking cigarettes next to their children's strollers, high school gangsters, couples setting up shop in line with chairs stolen from the food court and their 'to go' sushi, families with wetzel pretzels, and davey and i.

i'll spare the spoilers and anything else that might be somewhat interesting and just stick to the point. dark knight is truly all it's cracked up to be.

heath ledger is all he's cracked up to be. and Gary Oldman.....well we love you.

because of the time crunch we didn't end up eating dinner but rather a meal of popcorn, sour patch kids and of course diet coke. a bit ironic but whatever works. we ate loads, i felt sick....had to pee about half way in but could not bare to get up and miss anything. this movie is that fast that if you are gone for five minutes you could miss everything.

afterwards davey and i did a mad dash to the toilet running past anything that didn't get their bum up within the first ending credit, we shuffled past a few of the old folks, and even a few of the young ones until we finally reached our destination toilet.

after one of the longest pees of my life, we walked out of the cinema only to run into my friend brinn that up until today hadn't seen in months. that was lovely. anyway now that i feel truly beast like i am going to get my big one to bed.
