Corpse Bride Tuesdays
Lets see. My parents were babysitting their friends' baby and dog. The baby was cute. The dog wasn't. They were both wearing diapers though. The dog has just come down with a brain tumor and isn't the same anymore. So, they got a diaper on the girl so she doesn't make any mistakes in the house.
Today saw me getting my bootie in gear and getting a short term membership at the local gym in Trenton. So, I rode my bike there. It was good. Gonna be sore later.
I practiced a bunch of japanese today.
I started work on scraping all the old paint and dirt off the garden house because my mom keeps bugging me about it. So, after the gym, I grabbed the water bucket and brush and scrapped it down. Got rid of alot of the junk. Tomorrow I will start painting...staining the wood again.
After that, we had dinner with my folks' friends. It was nice. Then after they left and dinner was done, I headed out to Birmingham to meet up with Rose to see Corpse Bride for free at the Uptown Palladium.
The theatre was quite snazzy. It was crammed up in downtown area and they were able to find space for all the movie theatres on the z-axis. I think there were 3-4 floors or something. This place reeked of upscale richness...i mean, hell, its Birmingham. Here, you could buy dinner to eat with your movie viewing experience. Yes, you can get candy as well, but I mean, full blown dinners. I dont know if they are any good though. That just seems like too much. But, if you got the money to waste, I guess do it. Prior to the movie starting, during the commercials, they had a still for an "Affordable Private Jet" company. Rose laughed and said, "Yeah, the difference of this community and my community is that at my local theatre, they don't have commercials for "Affordable Private Jets" but for "Jet's Pizza"." Good call.
Corpse Bride was a good movie. Classic tongue-in-cheek Tim Burton animation. Lots of fun. Its creepy at moments, but nothing bad. Its great kids fun. Good stuff. I can't spoil it.
After that, I spent about 30-45 minutes waiting in the parking garage for all the cars to leave. It was crowded, after not moving for about 5 minutes, I pulled into a parking spot and waited till all the cars had left. I didnt feel like wasting gas considering its sooooo damn expensive. One proof to show that the Iraq war was not about oil...gas prices are the highest they have been in 20 years. ;-)
Upon finally exiting the structure, i headed over to Luna just to stop by. They were having a video nite of some industrial bands. When I showed up they were playing a Cruxshadows video...i laughed. That band blows.
Talked with some people and left about an hour or so later. Headed home and fell asleep. Goodnite.
