So, You're a Werewolf

We went to "New Moon." It was a good movie.

Here are some things that happened and observations I gathered while there:

• I was recognized by two students standing in the foyer of the theater.
• They were NOT attending a movie.
• They, coincidentally, were there for popcorn.
• And video games.
• And they were giving their brother some time alone with his girlfriend.
• In the car in the parking lot.
• Talking.
• The two students, 5th and 7th graders, said it was boring in the car, so they came in the theater.
• for the popcorn and the video games.
• Cora and I thought the brother and girlfriend might not be talking as much now that the little brother and sister were out of the car.
• That might have been more interesting to the kids than talking.
• The theater was packed, except for two seats next to me.
• There was a lady who decided, at the last moment, to sit down next to me. She was wearing pink jeans and ear muffs (I don't know why/ she was wearing the ear muffs/ I guess she'll die[sorry, I had to throw in the song]).
• Her boyfriend/husband was wearing a shower cap (NOT kidding! How could I make this shit up?).
• She did not take the ear muffs off for the entire movie.
• He didn't take off his shower cap, either.
• There was an inordinate amount of ooohing and ahhing from the entire crowd (I am speaking of the women) when Jacob took his shirt off (As if a flat stomach and muscular body was attractive) to selflessly wipe a small cut on Bella's head.
• Someone was humming somewhere in the theater for a good thirty seconds...and Cora didn't hear it.
• There was a lady behind us somewhere who cackled, giggled, and might as well have wolf-whistled(forgive the pun) whenever Bella and Jake got close or Jake's clothes came off.
• The young lady RIGHT behind us kept saying "Shut UP!" increasingly louder, but that appeared to have no bearing on the crazy lady's laughing.
• They still ask you to turn your cell phone OFF during the movie.
• Every person in the theater had a cell phone.
• Each of them checked their cell phone at least twice for the time.
• Most of them have to be ON to tell the time.
• Ear Muff Lady AND Shower Cap Man, BOTH, had short conversations on their phones DURING the movie.
• Ear Muff Lady confirmed my suspicions that she might be uncouth, when she produced some very vulgar language during the movie.
• A girl beside Cora actually brought the book New Moon...I suppose to compare and contrast more readily.

We had a good evening. Now we're going to have a weekend of cleaning and cooking.

New Moon

Do you think it is coincidence that the New Moon movie is out and the real moon can only be seen by the thinnest of crescents (i.e., new moon)?

It probably was not planned, but it is an interesting coincidence that I noticed. After work today, I sped to the cinema and purchased tickets for the new movie, New Moon. Another part of the Twilight series. I have not gotten into the series...for some reason it hasn't grabbed me like the Harry Potter books, nor, long before those, the Pern books, by Anne McCaffery. Still, I don't mind seeing the movies. Cora REALLY wants to see it, so I made my best effort to obtain some tickets. It seems, after the two I bought, the theater was left with only 10 tickets. I'd say I had decent timing. That was before 3pm, too.

So, we will go see that tonight. I don't feel like cleaning...I am tired and I m getting hungry...hope the wife comes home soon.

"I Never Thought Much About Dying..."

Those are the words (or some semblance) that "Bella" says at the beginning of the movie. I think I may need to give up a few man cards, because, gentle reader, I kinda, sorta, in between all the mushy teenage angst and long lingering glances...ok, they were stares, liked it. Yes, I took Cora to see Twilight, or Twinge, or Vamp Fever...or whatever it's called. I won't get into it, but, it was acceptable for an evening at the movies. Oh, and I HAVE to say, Alice is...well, the character they chose was HOT! (She's the second from the left)



I worked maintenance today. I continued cleaning a corner of the shop. Seriously, it was just a corner. You may recall Twinky from this summer? He was given the simple job of straightening up the corner of the shop I worked on today, back in September. When I began this job, last week, there was a large stack of boxes and other odd things (a large neat stack, admittedly) sitting in the general vicinity of the corner and..., a little room I like to call a storage closet. His large neat pile was blocking the door to this (we will refer to it as a) storage closet, in which the walls were lined with (we will call them) shelves...empty shelves. I merely emptied the boxes nd placed their contents on the shelves. I also put up a set of shelves in the corner, more places for boxes! I am not a genius, but apparently I see things differently than Twinky.


Oh, and Cora seemed to enjoy the movie, too...I think she even lived through me rolling my eyes a few times...She also seemed to indicate that the guys in the movie were somewhat...well, let's just say, not ugly.


I can't recall, did I mention that Alice from the movie was quite attractive? It's only fair, she was staring at man candy all over the screen...
