So, last night, had a totally surreal evening. Knew I had to visit the funeral parlor, as a friend of the family's grandmother had died, and I had to do the adult thing and visit. (I would have anyway, because I really do like these people. They're weird and fucked up and wonderful.) But, alas, my inner geek wanted to go see Hellboy on opening day. *grin*
I managed to get out of work at 3:50, and made plans to call Jess when I reached the beltway, to let her know whether I could make it to Towson by 4:30. The plan we'd hatched was that I'd meet her at the Towson Commons movies, she'd bring a change of clothes for me, and we'd watch the 4:30 Hellboy showing, I'd change, and we'd go up the street to the funeral home for the 7-9 viewing. Thus, we'd indulge our geekness, but still be adults and do the responsible thing. *nod*
Worked like a charm. Even with some late blooming traffic, I pulled into the Towson Commons garage at 4:25, Jess was waiting, and we got tickets and hurried into the theater in time to catch the previews. (Thankfully, with all the damned commercials they show first, we didn't have any problem.)
Saw a longer preview for Jennifer Garner's new movie, "13 going on 30," which looks cute. Of course, I'm a bit biased in that I love Jennifer, and think she's absolutely adorable. But it seems like it could be a fun, cheesy movie. Next up was a preview for a Wayans brother movie, "White Chicks," which did not excite me. Then, in an inspired choice for a geek movie, we got to see the preview for "I, Robot." Fuckin A. *grin* If this is as good as it looks, I might finally forgive Will Smith for the utter abortion of a movie that was "Wild, Wild West."
Then, we got down to the good stuff. Which I will cutline to avoid spoilers.
( Hellboy )
So yes, loved the movie. Will probably be going back to see it soon. *nod*
Then, did the responsible thing, and visited the funeral home. Sucks to be an adult sometimes.
Today, I think I shall run my good boots to a shop and have new heels put on them. They're getting a little worn, and I love them far too much to give them up. Aside from that, I'm going to have a nice quiet day.
