Blogging From the Super-Mall

Just finished watching The Happening. I didn't think it was bad, I loved the plot but I'm not sure the entire thing worked. The fact that most of the main characters were married made me think of my wife quite a bit, and if I got all emotional at times, it was because of my love for my wife, not the "acting." The movie experience itself, however, was worth the price of admission, which was 12L, or about $4.50 for a day show. When I bought the ticket, I bought a specific seat. You can only use the bathroom once they take your ticket. They use super-stadium seating and, when the movie finished, everyone left toward the front, which is the opposite way we entered. Some guy stood up there to make sure we left that way. I found myself in a long, empty hallway with large arrows pointing out which direction to take. When we were finally ejected back into the Mall, I was nowhere near the movie theatre, which was a bit of a problem, since I wanted to burn some more time with a second show. Not meant to be, everything was sold out. Since I'm meeting Cameron somewhere in the city (I think I can find it) at exactly 9PM, and neither of us have cell phones (like the old days), I have 2.5 hours to kill here.

This morning we were supposed to meet three of his friends for lunch, but none of them showed. They could have cancelled, but he would have had no way of knowing, since his internet is down and, well, his cell was stolen. We walked around and found some great areas to chill out and have a great lunch. The main reasn I had such a good time was because today was unseasonably cool. It looks like some of my prayers were answered. I have no idea what's in store for us tonight, but I'm looking forward to it.
