"What do you wanna do?"
"Umm .. karaoke??"
"No, I kinda wanted to see Hanna."
"Blah, so uninterested in seeing that. Miniature golf? Darts? Billards?"
"No. And I don't wanna go to a bar. What do adults who don't drink do for fun anyway?"
"Capitol City Comedy Club?"
"Hmmmm. Ok."
Drive around Austin for a while, make a couple wrong turns, find an absolutely packed to capacity, unparkable parking lot.
"Grrrr."
"Well? Hanna starts in about an hour."
"Blah. We could take care of certain holiday related errands, then put the kids to bed."
"Ok."
Run to least favorite store, get lots of delicious poison, etc.
It's 8:36 p.m.
We don't wanna go home.
"Alright. Let's go to Hanna (grumble grumble, stupid Highness, Paul, stupid, stupid Sucker Punch, always go to your stupid movies, sure Source Code was good, Jake Gyllenhaal, yummy, grrr ... stupid, grrr).
Hanna was not a good movie. Eric Snider was wrong. It was dreadful. There were long drawn out parts with no musical score. It got boring. I didn't know whether to care or nap. There was senseless LSD-like techno driven scenes that through you out of suspended disbelief. The main character's first line was the same as her last. It was predictable and annoyed me.
I'm sure my impression of the *ahem* film (cough cough) was not at all swayed by the fact I didn't get to sing "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," slightly off-key for drunken strangers. We all have dreams ...
1 Brilliant Bits of Inspiration:
It's true. It's hard to find SOMETHING fun to do when you're a grown up. Tonight was our 15th Wedding Anniversary. We went to dinner but ended up taking a kid with us and going to Dees. LOL! Oh yeah, we know how to live it up!
On the upside, your spouse helped with the 'certain seasonal errands' while mine slept soundly as the Mom hippity-hopped all over. I think I'll tell him that's his Anniversary gift!
