No Shutter Island Yet. Close, but not Quite.

Got a little writing done tonight, but not as much as I'd have liked. My eyes are closing. I'm sooooo tired.

I can't even believe it's Friday. The week has flown by so fast. Last Saturday a friend and I decided to go see Shutter Island. We paid for our tickets, got all comfy in our seats, sat through the commercials (yes, they show commercials now at movie theaters) and previews, filled with excitement and anticipation. Just as the movie was about to start, the screen went black.

We sat there for long minutes on end. Eventually a young guy who looked to be about twelve years old told us that they were having technical difficulties, but to sit tight and the movie would start soon.

It didn't. After about fifteen minutes he came back and told us that the movie wouldn't be showing. We all got two free movie tickets but maaaaaaan. What a let down.

So we went out for a bite, and I had the most mouth watering buffalo chicken salad EVER. We had a good time anyway, but were both really disappointed that we didn't get to see the movie.

Trying to decide if we want to try again this weekend. I have a ton of stuff to get done so I really shouldn't. *Sigh* I don't know.

Have any of you seen it yet?

I'm going to bed. I need to curl up under my quilt and cuddle in. It's been a long day. Night all.

AAhhhh going to see movies. At least you can go see some once in awhile. If I want to I got to travel 4 hours one way and that is "IF" the roads are good. Man do I wish I took advantage of going to the movies in Montreal when I lived only 10mins away by car. Oh well. Hope you get to go see it soon. Did you see 'The Lovely Bones'?

Hey Jeanie. Yeah, up in no man's land in the outskirts of BC, it might be tough. Can you get movies on demand?

I didn't see The Lovely Bones. I really wanted to. I'll get it on demand when it comes out on DVD. The book was outstanding.
