I got a call from a Swedish friend of mine this afternoon asking me to join him and his wife at the movies. It seems that everyone tends to fell sorry for the poor sod stuck in the hotel for the weekend. We went to the new James Bond Flick, Quantum of Something. I thought trailers and advertisements were long in US movies. NOT! Movie start time was 6:30 and the movie actually started at 7:17. I know because I looked. I coudn't believe it. I had to go to the can twice before the movie started. Also don't ever complain about the price of popcorn in the US. 6 pound 75. Thats 12 dollars for us yanks. For those of you who know me you don't have to ask. I did not buy any.
There were actually four of us that attended. My friend and his wife brought their baby who is absoutely perfect. She has never cried in the first 7 months of her life. Of course she chose this occasion to voice her discontent about the move. I think it either had to do with the fact that so many people were being killed or because they had to use 500 gun shots to kill each person. Either way I'm not really sure which is worse, being the person with the baby or the person sitting in front of the person with the baby.
Anyway the distraction served to help kill a lonely Saturday afternoon away from home.
Cheers!
