Cheap Movie

Last night, after work, I went with Deepali and my brother, Kenny, to the Milpitas Cinema Saver theater to catch a showing of Kill Bill 2 (I know, third time seeing it, but at least it was new for Deepali). Kenny and I got there early, and got our tickets. They were only $1.50 each, since it was Tuesday night (as opposed to the regular $3.50). I personally don't like going to that theater (it's old and dingy), but it was the only place showing the movie.

While Kenny and I were waiting for them to let us in, I noticed that the line outside was starting to get pretty long, and Deepali was running late. So I decided to go buy her a ticket first. While I was waiting in line, Kenny called me from inside the theater. He says, "Hey, do you have your ticket?" I did. He replied, "Well that's weird, because I have two." So I went back inside, and sure enough, we now had three tickets in our possession. He said one of them was just lying on the counter next to him, and he thought I'd left it there. So Deepali ended up getting to watch the movie for free (see Cynthia, now you wish you'd gone with us! I would've given you the freebie!).

I also saw someone there that I knew - well, kinda knew. While I was waiting outside for Deepali to give her her ticket, I spotted this guy that looked really familiar, and I thought he might be the guy who was the coordinator for this training program I took at another company for work. I thought he might have recognized me too, since he kept looking at me, and sure enough, he came up and said, "I do know you, right?" I actually remembered his name, but I don't think he remembered mine. Strange, since I'm usually horrible with faces and names.

I couldn't believe how many people were there to watch movies on a Tuesday night. It's amazing what people will do to save two bucks. Normally the place isn't that crowded, but I guess that's because $3.50 is too much, heh. Anyways, the movie was just as awesome as the last time, and when we left, at around 10 pm, there was STILL a huge line.

I dropped Kenny off, and drove home. Poor Bandit had been outside all day and all night. I let him in, and went upstairs to fiddle on the computer for a bit. He came into the office a little bit later, and I could hear him licking his chops. I realized I forgot to put the baby gate up to the laundry room, where we keep the cats' litter box. I called him over, smelled his breath, and sure enough, it smelled like cat litter. Dumb, disgusting dog. I was hoping he'd outgrow this habit, but he hasn't yet.

I got ready for bed (and took Marc's pillow for myself), and popped the Matrix Revolutions DVD I had rented into the PS2. I was pretty disappointed with Reloaded, and I think this one actually sucked even worse. Maybe I was too tired to be in the right mood for the movie or something, but I think I could've turned it off at any point and really not cared. Such a shame, since the first movie was so good.

I played ping pong with the alarm clocks again this morning, and woke up about an hour later than I'd planned to. I still got in decently early, so it wasn't so bad, especially when I have to stay a bit later than normal tonight. Anyways, back to the lab I go.
