Today I will be taking the kids to the park because it is an absolutely gorgeous day here in Anchorage, Alaska. There isn't a cloud in the sky, and it's a warm 62 degrees at noon, which means that it will only get warmer. Yesterday it hit 75 degrees, which is sooooo great!
Of course I will take pictures while I'm out!
Last night we went to see the movie, and let me just say it was AWESOME! It was so great to see the work of one of the greatest comedic authors of the 20th century up there on the screen in a way that would have made him happy.
There was one problem though. There was a guy who was sitting right in front of me that reminded me of my jack-ass ex-boyfriend. From the moment this guy was within my ear shot he grated my nerves. Going on and on to his group of friends that they could sit wherever the hell they wanted to, but he was going to sit right here, because this is the sweetest spot in the whole place for sound and picture and he should know because he used to work in a theatre. Ugh.
There were only two other people with him when I first noticed him, a woman who looked old enough to be his mom, but later I found out was his girlfriend or something like it, and guy who looked really familiar to me. After looking at him for about two seconds, I ventured a "Rob?" and when he turned around we looked at each other we did the whole "Oh my god! How the hell have you been?" thing that you always do when you run into an old friend that you haven't seen in forever. I told him that I wasn't surprised to see him here on opening night, considering that this is the guy who let me borrow his "Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide" a few years ago that I still have in my entertainment center.... http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/trouse_80/detail?.dir=/383d&.dnm=1dbf.jpg&.src=ph
He mentions that Chris, another friend of mine is in the back row, and I turn and right behind me, a few rows back is my friend Chris, who like the genius he is, says "What are you doing here?" which I responded with a "Ummm, helloooooo?" while motioning to the movie screen. After about 5 minutes the jackass in front of me goes back to where Chris and his girlfriend are and manages to convince them to come join him where he's sitting. So Chris and his girl move, and now two old friends of mine are sitting in the row in front of me, with this jackass.
At the end of the movie, while I'm sitting there waiting for everyone to leave... With social anxiety I have to wait for the theatre to clear out before I can leave... so I'm talking to Rob about what he thought of the movie, and all of a sudden the jackass dumps his popcorn all over the girl he's with, and shouts "That's for wearing my shirt!" Well, she kind of laughs, but it's that laugh that all women know, the one you laugh when you first start seeing someone and they do something so asnine, but you are still in the puppy love phase and want to be polite, but you know that if they had been together for longer than 6 months that she would have slapped him or something. So I ignore it, and continue my conversation with Rob. A few seconds later the Jackass dumps the last of his popcorn on this girl. This is the best part, so pay attention.... This is when David grabs our bag of popcorn and dumps it on the jackass' head. Hehehehe...Now this guy is like maybe 5'4" and scrawny as hell, and David is taller than me, and pretty well built. The jackass turns like he's going to say something, takes one look at David and decides against it.
Chris and David do the whole macho high five thing, and the girl says "Thank you!" to which David responds "No problem. Men should treat women with more respect. Especially the women they so obviously want to sleep with." Oh MY God it was GREAT! After we left the theatre, the jackass went to the bathroom to clean the popcorn out of his clothes and go to the bathroom. I ask Chris who the hell he is, and I find out his name is Kenny. Chris explains to me that he's a really old childhood friend, their families are close, but lately kenny has gotten worse and worse, and he's getting to the point to where he just really wants to punch him the face. I laughed and told him that he reminded me of my ex, who I met through Chris oddly enough, and that I really wanted to kick him in the back of the head the whole movie.
But the kids are FINALLY done with their lunches and I want to "Get the hell outta Dodge!" So we are outta here!
Until later, Ciao!
