Told some of you what the next subject of blog would be and am sure you’re simply quivering with anticipation, but – oh the disappointment – will write about something else today. Fear you not. Subject mentioned will definitely be on agenda in near future. Just want to take enough time to gather thoughts. And also decided to wait til next appointment of baby clinic (the Consultatiebureau for the dutchies among you). Then again. Maybe can write entire blog on baby clinic alone. Will see.
So went to see a film yesterday. Off we went to big cinema, carrying several sacks of gold because that’s what required when one wants to see a movie these days. But surely, cinemas must have good reason to demand such ridiculous admission fees. Paying staff for instance. Hmmm. Or not. Since most of staff has been replaced by machines.
First you go to machine to buy your ticket. Not sure if this is necessarily faster considering time you take to try and hit the chairs you’d like on the touch screen. And then end up sitting in a completely different spot than anticipated because screen has illogical way of showing back and front of room. Also, one would expect that front row is row number one. Must be Devious and Most Cunning Plan to deceive cinema audience or something. But I move too fast. Tickets were bought. Onwards!
Next we were funnelled into Big Area with Overpriced Snacks and Beverages (BAwOsaB). One might suggest not buying any of these as they are indeed most ridiculously overpriced, but decided that the one time I go to a cinema, I am going properly. And so popcorn was bought. Sweet popcorn. Still don’t know which barbarian has ever decided to create salt popcorn. The foulness! If you want to see me with a funny face, offer me some salt popcorn while I think it’s the sweet variety. Wish you luck because of course, from this day forward, yours truly will be extremely weary of popcorn offerings. In BAwOsaB things have changed as well. Last time had privilege of visiting cinema it didn’t exist. There were people serving me. Well, technically people were serving me still as like to think of self and husband as human. Teehee.
We paid for our phat lewt and so ended up paying the equivalent of three months World of Warcraft subscription for one visit to the cinema. Granted, were going to have IMAX _and_ 3D. So settled myself in plush chair with happy knowledge of having most orgastic movie experience of year. All around people were trying on their silly 3D glasses. And – this is 2011 after all – making pictures of themselves with smartphones. And then maybe upload them to Facebook or whatnot. Friends will surely be delighted by display of Big Glasses in the Dark. Delighted? Dead envious! After all, this could only mean that their friends are not only sitting in most magnificent plush seat, no, they’ve also signed up for at least half an orgastic movie experience.
Film was very entertaining. 3D wasn’t too bothersome. Only downside was slightly exploding boob towards the end. So had to race home to baby. Unfortunately Marvels of Technique were bit of impediment for a change. Paying machines of parking broke down. Well, some of them. So huge queue to conquer before we could go home. Happily waited, after all, it’d been a while since I inhaled a healthy dose of car fumes. And then we could race home. Yay for lovely dates!
Must admit that did not have most orgastic movie experience of year though. So little bit disappointed there. Luckily, later that day… Hmmm. Right, there are limits to blogging. Will not resort to cheap tricks. Grins. Crooked grin at that. Dentist left me unable to grin for quite some time. Do have funny way of talking now. Irresistibly Succulent Grocery Shopping. Yay for numbness. Maybe that’s why am a bit giddy and unstable in head. Sedation. Glee. Too bad it only started working in earnest when I left the building. Boo. Anywayz, off to get some coffee. Fingers crossed that will go well…
