Didn’t do a lot last weekend because Sienna had the flu so we stayed home, mostly. This Sunday she is invited to a kids party near where she lives. Tomorrow I knock off early from work since I finished really late today, so I will pick her up early.
After I drop off Sienna on Sunday, Cath & I have a meetup with some people from our forum so we will head off there. Most of them don’t even know we are together, so it will be an interesting gathering to say the least hehe.
Last night, Cath and I went to The Globe theatre in Fortitude Valley and watched The Crow and Sleepy Hollow. We had a really good night out. We met up here at my place and I drove her car into the city. We were waiting in line and a car drove past with people yelling out “WOOO! Go the EMOS!!!!” hehe. We just laughed. We didn’t arrive very early. Only a couple of minutes before 7pm but they hadn’t opened yet. We waited around until they did open and started down the stairs before I asked the guy at the door if they take Credit Cards. Nope! So we went to the train station ATM to pick up some cash and got back. They were only letting people inside the Theatre but not into the Cinema part, so we grabbed drinks at the bar. I bought a bottle of Pure Blonde beer. Cath bought a glass of house wine. Since you can’t take fragile glasses into the cinema, they just had a plastic cup. However, they filled the cup right up to the top!!! Cath was amazed while watching it happen, but they still only charged for a standard drink size. It was only Banrock Station red, but still drinkable and at twice the wine for the normal price, who is complaining? Nobody! That’s who! I bought Banrocks once just because it looks close to the name of my domain, here. We went back at the intermission and got another lot of alchy *Grins*
Other film doubles coming up are: Edward Scissorhands & Brazil, Labyrinth & Ziggy Stardust, The Holy Grail & Life of Brian.
Next Friday mum and dad arrive from NSW. I’ve taken off Friday to Wednesday, inclusive so will be picking up Sienna on next Thursday night and keeping her here while we all have fun for a few days. Should be good!
I don’t know if my taste in movies is getting too good, but I watched the Transformers movie and didn’t like it. I’d give it about 2/5 if it’s lucky. I also watched Hot Fuzz on DVD after discovering my local DVD shop has $1 Tuesday movies! Sweet! Hot Fuzz I’d give 2.5/5. Transformers got 57% at Rotten Tomatoes. I can see why.
