Today Justin and I went to see a movie at the suggestion of his parents. Correction, we TRIED to see a movie at the suggestion of his parents. Both the interweb AND the newspaper listed a show time of 1:10pm � LIES! Allllllllllllllllll LIES! We arrived at a dark theatre where some guy came out and told us that they should be opening around 3:45pm � what...the...FUCK? Justin and I ALWAYS get screwed when it comes to trying to see movies � it took us like a year once just to see Pollock because the paper SAID they were showing it but when we got there it was some Pokemon bullshit. Um, yeah, that�s the same thing � NOT. In other news, my parents are hauling and delivering our new credenza on Wednesday and I, as a gesture of thanks, invited them to stay for dinner. I wasn�t actually expecting them to take me up on the offer because I�ve lived here (officially) since June/July of 2002 and neither one of them has been in my apartment for more than 10 minutes. Well they accepted so I�ll be preparing dinner for my parents, sister, husband, and self. That�s right ladies and gentlemen, there will be FIVE people in my apartment at one time sitting at a TABLE and eating dinner � I may never get over the shock of this event. When I had asked my sister if she would be interested in having dinner here and with our parents her response was, �I like real food so yes please� � I thought it was cute. How quickly we forget that transitional time between parental-owned dwellings and our new fully grown-up lives. I asked what she�d like me to prepare for the meal and she confessed that she had been trying to think of a way to get me to make this parmesan/Italian chicken that I make without actually having to say, �hey, make that.� So if everything about this �family gathering� goes to shit I�ll at least have the comfort and satisfaction of knowing that I provided my sister with a good home-cooked meal. Meanwhile... I got ALL of my holiday card exchange cards written, stuffed, addressed, and ready to send out. Can you BELIEVE that shit?? Today is only December 1st and I have them DONE already. And speaking of holiday cheer, please check out and enjoy this... |
