CATrastrophe in the Cinema

I love going to movies. The whole thing is such an event. Sneaking in candy, being mad at how much tickets cost, sitting in a large dark room letting yourself get caught up in the cheesy romance or action. And the previews! Oh the previews!! I just love it. But some one out there is trying to ruin OUR movie experience! And I'm pissed. Everyone knows you go to the movie on time to see the previews. The previews set the mood, and often when it comes to Nicholas Cage movies they're better than the movies themselves. Some idiot in the higher ups in Megaplex Theaters has decided to neglect fully dimming the lights during previews. Whoa whoa whoa, NO DIM ON THE LIGHTS? We want the full experience! Turn the lights completely off you nimwits! If people come in late and can't see that's their own damn fault. Plus they can use whatever version of the iphone they have to light their way to their seat.

And it get's worse. I don't want to push anyone into an episode of depression, but it gets worse. Stay strong and read on. After they're done showing the previews in the well lit theater they show TWO local commercials. How can one get into the movie watching mood when we can still see everything around you and then these local commercials throw you back into the reality of being in Utah and completely destroyed the movie experience!!! I shant go to a movie again... at full price. BLAH.

I digress.

Real nice day

I went riding with Van and Beau after work today. Image me on my little 150cc scooter with awkwardly straight poster next to Van and Beau on their 1000cc bullet bikes. This outing up'ed my street cred, even at the sacrifice of Van and Beau's reputation (which I truly appreciate). I just kept laughing and giggling at what this look like to others.

(this was the best picture I got. That's Beau's leg, my scooter, and Van's tire)


I'm also watching my dad's house while he's out of town. He's got lots of animals, which I love. I walked these little guys after I fed the donkey, buffalo, and zebra.
