really, a greatest thing for me is "movies". i love going to movies...in fact, the husband and i have a pretty good routine in place for our weekly outings:
- see an ad on tv and say "we should see that this weekend"
- somehow get out of the house before 10:00 on a saturday or sunday morning
- using the indoor kiosk, buy our two tickets for the first show of the day, just $6 (US) -- full price for any other show is $11
- grab seats along the center row, which is fronted by a dividing rail, perfect for use as an ottoman
- one of us goes back to the concessions counter to get the #1 combo, a large popcorn (no butter sauce) and a large diet coke, in a cardboard carrying tray
- the popcorn purchaser returns, and we split the popcorn to two servings, one remaining in the popcorn bag, the other poured into the carrying tray
- we then pour the peanut m&ms which we smuggled into the theater, into each share of the popcorn
- attempt not to finish the popcorn by the time the preview trailers are through
- watch the movie
the last step:
- one will say he loved the movie, the other will complain at how bad it was; it's not often we actually agree in our critique.
i love going to the movies...but the movies we see? i often don't care for them. makes me wonder why i still love going so much. i guess it's because when i do like a movie, i really, really like it...and that cancels out the dozen or so other movies that i hated.
