Killing time

When Zach and I go to the movies, we usually don't look up showtimes; we just arrive at the theater after dinner and hope the movie we want to see is showing in the next 10 or 15 minutes.

Side note - That sentence alone is going to cause my mother to lose sleep tonight, and probably years off of her life. She who looks up the showtimes in the newspaper, plans her evening around making sure she arrives at the theater at the appropriate time, brings said newspaper with her (in case the movie times change during her commute?), and always has her official Harkins Cup in hand for her one dollar refill.

As you might imagine, the Young's strategy doesn't always work out. Like Friday night when we went to see Zombieland and the closest showing was an hour and a half away. The conversation went like this:

E - Well it's not for an hour and a half, what should we do?
Z - We could go walk around Target. Wait, have you already been to Target today?
E - ....yes.
Z - (*eye roll) Well let's just get our tickets then.

Then I watched Zach do this for an hour and a half while I ate milk duds.

LOL LOL LOL. "Wait have you already been to Target today." Zach is absolutely perfect, and only he would know that you probably had already been to Target that day...and walked around...with a bag of popcorn and diet coke, on your lunch break.

Have I already told you that since moving to CA and not having a job, I too go to Target probably everyday? Seriously.

love the side note.

LOL I want to just go to the theater and see whatever is showing right then!

Zachary knows you so well.

Okay, so how was Zombieland? I heard it's a little disappointing but good?

Michelle said...

lol, my palms had already started sweating as I read your first paragraph.

I only take the newspaper in case the movie I want to see is sold old and we might need to go to another theatre.

lol, to Zach knowing you too well.

Zombieland was actually a lot better than I expected. It was really funny, but still gross Zombie stuff - which isn't my fave.

Ok after that last pic of Zach in the video arcade you might want to list him as one of the world's deadliest animals? Did you see his rippling arms? Not that I noticed, but he might be quick too... have you seen his high-walk or his gallop? Seriously, just a question.

Amanda, quit being a creep and trying to trade in your husband for a newer model.

LOL I'm pretty sure it's the lighting; but Zach will be pleased with this thread.
