S is for.......

I haven't been to the cinema for ages (I think the last film I saw was Pirates 2) so I decided to see new movie, Hairspray. After yesterday, it sounded perfect for me - it's more bubblegum for the brain than thought-provoking, it has dancing, music, there may be a few hotties, and John Travolta dresses up as woman. What more could you want!;)

Anyway, I plucked up the courage to go to our local Odeon (because I don't enjoy being stuck in the Saturday afternoon shopping crush) and we started to queue up for the tickets inside, as they slapped a stupid charge on you if you pre-order tickets online. Anyway, we finally got to the front of the line, and I told the guy at the desk that I wanted two tickets for the 3.15 performance. Then he smiled, and chuckled.
"Do you know what S is for?" he said. It seemed that he was itching to tell the punchline of his joke, so I played along.
"What does S stand for?" I replied.
" Sold out!"
Oh, how I laughed.
At that moment what I would liked to have done is jump over the desk, get the cheeky bugger in a headlock and demand that he FIND me and my sister a seat. And inform him that he should not mess with me, as I have a blog, and I'm not afraid to use it. (Of course what I actually did was exit as quietly and quickly as possible.)

So after that we decided to go and pick up a couple of dvds, get some yummy toffee popcorn and start up our own home cinema. Unfortunately, when I went to get the dvds I met someone who I went to school with over 10 years ago. My mind went blank as per usual when she asked me how I was, and I wittered about my job, and then she said she worked in a library. I honestly wasn't trying to be nasty, but I said "oh when I was little I used to want to work in a library." I didn't mean it in a bad way, really I didn't.

Anyway, we got home and opened the popcorn, and put the dvd in the player. Nothing happened. After studying the back of the tv - we realised that there was a cable missing. We reckon the culprit was dad, so he will be in lots of trouble tomorrow. Meanwhile I have scoffed a lot of toffee popcorn, and feel rather sick........
