Thoughts and Musings

Last night Rob and I headed out to downtown Burbank. Parking was hard to come by, especially for a Monday night. But, eventually, we did find a spot at the top of an out of the way lot. We ate dinner at Fuddrucker's (which now has Ostrich burgers - yum - they taste just like beef, but are a lot better for you) and then saw the 7:50 showing of The Stepford Wives at the big AMC theatre.

While we were at the concession counter Rob managed to dumbfound the guy behind the counter with a simple question - "Do you have Sno-caps?". Apparently AMC theatres in our area no longer have Sno-caps and the people behind the counter don't even know what they are. He's tried asking about them before and NO ONE has heard of them (one time the person behind the counter asked if they were a type of ice cream). *sigh* How can someone not know what Sno-caps are? Especially if they work at a movie theatre concession stand??? We ended up getting some fruit snacks and making our way to our theatre.

The movie was okay. Nothing really great, but a fun popcorn flick nonetheless. It had some major holes in it - the movie couldn't make up it's mind if the women were robots or themselves with chips in their brain. They seemed to be robots because they sparked, could change breast size at the click of a button, could spit money out like an ATM, and could put their hand in an open flame. But the explanation for what happened to make them "perfect" showed a chip being implanted in their brains to control their behavior. Whatever. It was flaw filled, but fun. Probably something I should have waited to see on DVD though.

After the movie we made a quick ATM and grocery store stop and then headed home.

Not much of interest is going on around here today. My hubby is a major sweetie. He called me around lunchtime and asked if I wanted him to pick up a copy of the new Bill Clinton book for me. So, I now have that to read as well. Hopefully I'll start in on the Hillary one in the next few days. We'll see how my time looks for reading.
