Wow, what incredible weather we had yesterday. Okay...maybe the weather is incredible today, but I haven't been outside yet.
My girlfriend and I went downtown. We called a friend to see if she wanted to meet us at a certain restaurant, and were surprised when she was there with four other friends already, finishing up her lunch. We all had a great conversation, which included a long-running debate we've had. I gave her crap when she said if she could only have one condiment for the rest of her life, it would be mustard. I claimed that was poor planning, as you could get more use out of ketchup, salsa, or even mayo (which I hate). Nobody at the table picked mustard, and when that happens, she usually then goes into how psycho I am for telling her she's "wrong" to pick mustard as her favorite (but she is...since we originally didn't ask "favorite" but "only one the rest of your life").
I overheard people at another table talking about Seigfried & Roy. I had no clue as to why. It wasn't until we walked by the bar and I saw the news story about them doing a benefit show. And, they were back to using white tigers. Wow, what idiots! One of them was nearly killed by one. We just had that lady with her ape ripping apart a neighbor, and we still have people doing these things with animals.
As my girlfriend and I talked about this while walking to the movies, another couple overheard me and said, "Did you hear that one of the Kardashian girls has a chimp? She posted pictures of it on her website or something."
We saw the movie Last Chance Harvey, which was good. I don't think there's a better actress than Emma Thompson. Although I had a problem with the main premise for Dustin Hoffman. That his daughter would tell him she's asking stepfather James Brolin to walk her down the aisle instead. I don't think her character would've done that. I don't think his ex-wife would've been cool with that, or even Brolin himself. Unless the dad was not a part of her life and nowhere to be found, which clearly wasn't the case.
As we argued that walking to the concession stand (I was getting a re-fill on that 20 gallon jug of soda they sell you for $8), we exited the theatre (she argued with me early about why I'd want to see a movie when the weather was so nice, we had friends going to the beach, and a dog we could take to dog park). It seemed the only thing we agreed on was that this huge theatre downtown probably wouldn't be around much longer. Every time we've seen a movie there, it's dead.
We saw a homeless guy sitting against the wall, and he's yelling at a person that said some idiotic comment like "Just go get a job and stop begging." The homeless guy said, "I just want to get a little dinner."
I handed him my huge bag of popcorn (I always forget my girlfriend isn't a popcorn fan, and I buy the biggest size). He thanked me.
As we started walking away my girlfriend said, "Well, give him your soda." I laughed and said, "No! I want my soda. I'm still thirsty and I like chewing the ice."
She went on and on about how you can't give someone popcorn without something to drink. I said, "Uh...well, when he begs for money and gets enough for a drink, he'll be covered."
She then walked into a liquor store. I said, "You're not going to buy him a soda are you?" She replied, "Yeah. Well, I guess I'll buy him orange juice. It's healthier. And a bottle of water."
I'm shaking my head as she's doing this. She also grabs a bag of peanuts for him and I say, "Well, aren't the salty peanuts just going to make him thirstier? The whole point of this was to quench his thirst on the popcorn."
It costs her $5.
He says "God bless you," as we walk away.
She felt good about doing that, but the smile didn't last long.
Her car was parked about four inches in the red, and there was a $60 ticket on the windshield.
