My Saturday
Sunday, July 20th, 2008 04:14 amWorked from 12 to 4 today. Been wanting to see The Dark Knight, so decided to see it after work. Closest showing was at 6:30, so I had some time to kill. Probably should have gone home--only 20 minutes away, but eh. Went to get lunch--and naturally I was served in record time; like 7 minutes. Ate out in the car. Half hour gone. Went out to Sears. They are in the same mall as this new theater (10 or so screens) is going to be put in. Supposed to have happened 3 years ago, but you can actually see the progress now. Sears had no idea when the theater would be completed.
I wandered around their sales and found a clearence shelf. They were selling DVD-R disks...50 pack for 10 bucks. I am getting low and they normally run about 20 bucks. So I stared at them a bit. I might have even licked my lips. Anyway, one of the cashier people asked me if I had signed up for the Sears Gold card...because I would get 15 bucks instant savings if I did. So I checked to make sure I hadn't signed up before, made sure there would be no hidden charges, then scurried out to my car to get money and ID ( I had only brought 2 bucks with me...so I wouldn't be tempted to buy anything). So I got 2 packs for about 6 bucks. WOOT.
After that, I went to Sunbirds to poke around the shirts for sale. There also used to be an old bookstore there that disappeared after the flood. I asked about it and a lot of the books had been damaged with the flood, plus the lady that ran it had lost her house :( Sucks.
45 minutes until showtime, I circled the street looking for parking. Had to do two laps before I settled on a far away spot in a parking lot. Then I went to a bookstore nearby the theater. They only sell new books, so I never buy from them, but I like looking.
Then I went to stand in line. I had bought my tickets already 'just in case' and this line was for the door. We had to wait for other people to get out from their showing. Waited in the sun--was a bit hot.
Theater was about 2/3 full.
Movie was awesome! Dragged a bit in the middle, but the second hour....wow! And I totally was wanting the joker to...win? He totally stole the show and the 'pencil trick' earned applause.
:'(
Brother is visiting next week, Wednesday. And I am up to Seattle to visit
michelleann68 Fri-Sun. Want to go see movie again at some point with brother. Shall see.
Okay, daily pic time *digs*
The wild backberries are almost ripe!

Time to go hunt for some!
