cheapies...

went to see Calendar Girls for four bits today. my friend, Cindy, hadn't seen it yet and i wasn't in the mood for Diane Keaton in Something's Gotta Give...

man, the line was SO long! usually when we go to a cheapie, we meet at the Walgreen's and stock up on water and candy. upon seeing cindy, she said that the line was snaking out the east door of Tiffany Plaza, which is a good 100' from the box office. so we ended up waiting at least 15-20 minutes to get our ticket from our poor, harried seller. i cannot believe that they only had one person selling tix on a tuesday. then again, you usually don't have to wait that long to get a ticket for the matinee show, even on a tuesday.

the movie was just as good as the first time. Helen Mirren and Julie Walters are a scream. it's well worth a cheapie tix or rental!!!

afterwards, i decided to stop by Anthony's Pizza for a couple slices of sausage and pepperoni. at first, i was weighing the pros and cons:

'you don't need the oozy, cheesy, greasy wedge...'
'but it HAS been a long time since you've been there...'
'okay...compromise...only ONE slice'

isn't it nice when you can talk yourself into doing the 'right' thing ;)

so, it was into the joint for a slice of sausage. as i walked in, i didn't see anyone manning the counter...until a kid on my right stood up and kissed his girlfriend goodbye. OMG, it was G. Penn! i hadn't seen G since he was a fifteen year-old kid on a trip to a Mexican orphanage that lois and i were chaperoning. he was the best kid on the trip. and here he was, managing the Anthony's on 7th & Colorado...last day too. he's taking the year off from DU and is gonna find a part-time job and basically kick back for the summer, before the fall quarter - good for him. he tells me that he wants to go into commercial real estate and building management. smart kid, go for the money.

a good day. the weather...a movie...seeing G...and i even blogged! tonight, i'm gonna cook...we're gonna stay in and watch the best of Johnny Carson tapes that i picked up at ARC last week...and that's it. hope you all have an exciting night as we ;)
