janalyson and her daughter Jennifer came down from NC to accompany me to the movies. I had Fandango'ed us tickets for Star Wars EPI: The Phantom Menace (for droop purposes on my part and fun purposes on janalyson's and Jen's parts) and This Means War (for research purposes on my part and drool purposes on janalyson's ). The thing was, SW was showing at 1 and TMW was showing at 7:50, so we had some time to kill in between the flicks.
At 1 PM, I beheld the beginning of The Phantom Menace on the big screen for the 16th time. About fifteen minutes into the movie, I feel asleep. Me...asleep...during The Phantom Menace. I woke up mortified. It could have been any other movie, but this one? NOOOOO... Thankfully, I didn't miss any of the Maul bits, which is the reason why I watch the movie in the first place.janalyson said she was going to let me sleep until Darth Maul came on. That was mighty nice of her. Later I told her that I knew the reasons behind my falling asleep, besides the godawful insomnia I'd suffered the night before; I've seen the movie 4000 times, so on a certain level, it's lost its charm. Also, I'm 13 years older than I was when I first saw the movie. Being a little old lady tends to make you fall asleep at the most inopportune times.
After TPM, we went over to the Pita House and got ourselves some delish Arabic food. Hummus and Shawarma FTW! Jan and Jen seemed well-pleased with their munchlies.
We spent a good bit of time there chit-chatting and noshing, then moseyed over to Books-a-Million to peruse the various tomes. Whilst there, Jan and I donned pig hats and this is what transpired.
After the pig-hat incident, Jan took a wild hair and bought me a calendar and a book. Here's what they are:
Needless to say, a lot of the information and anecdotes from these babies are gonna show up here and on Facebook. The word needs to be spread. :)
The time came for us to get back to the theatre, so we dashed back and tucked in for some Tom Hardy romantic comedy. As far as rom-coms go, it was pretty good. There were some scenes where Tom sported that insane serial killer look. Jan finds that quite attractive, and I find it an exceptional example of why he'd be excellent as Cadmus Pariah.
We got home a little after 10 and sat around yapping until after 1 AM. Jen and Jan then went to bed and I drifted off sometime after 2.
The only unfortunate part of the visit was that I had to go to pre-op this morning, so I left a little after 7 AM. I was really quiet so the two girls could sleep in for as long as they wished. I felt really bad that I couldn't stick around and make this breakfast before they had to hit the road.
When I got home from pre-op around 11:30,janalyson and Jennifer had already gone, but they left a really sweet note.
I'm hoping we can do this again, maybe sometime in April after I've gotten through the hardest part of my knee-replacement recovery. We can do another movie and I'm keen on making them dinner (Chicken Caligula!). I think it'd be pretty pretty pretty cool.

Date: 2012-02-17 07:55 pm (UTC)Okay, two questions:
1. Where is your hair?
2. When is your date for surgery?
Inquiring minds, like mine, want to know. Did I miss a memo or two?

Will they be playing Shreikback in the surgery suite while you're under to provide a soothing environment?
Here's to a speedy recovery ...... Angelina. Just trying to get used to that.
