Shortly after I got home Carrie's Dad called. He was in the area and wanted to swing by to pick up extra postcards for Carrie's upcoming jewelry show where she's gonna be selling her stuff (Saturday the 19th—if you're interested in going drop me a line). So he came by, and then he and Carrie went to Starbucks to hang out.
While they did that, Taisha came and picked me up and we went to The Grand. We were to meet Neighbor Gary there, but he was running really late so the movie started before he got there. What movie, you ask? MirrorMask by Dave McKean & Neal Gaiman. Gary showed up just as the girl was entering the dream world, so he didn't miss anything too terribly significant to the plot. But then he promptly started dozing off himself, so he ended up missing quite a bit of the movie.
Still, I had quite a good time. I really like going out to see movies. Carrie isn't so big on it, so I have to find other movie partners (usually), because I really hate seeing a movie alone. The last movie I went to alone was, I think, Mars Attacks! Although she does want to see Shopgirl (on account o' she read the book) in theaters.
Neighbor Gary showed off the new camera he bought. I have to admit it kicks all ass. It reminds me a lot of the cameras used by our wedding photographers. He took some photos of both me and Taisha. Then he took me home and hung out for a bit before I did another hour of work. Carrie had class in the PM so we just kinda scrounged for din-dins—I don't even remember what I had.
In the evening I did many short shifts of work and inbetween I watched Ghost Hunters. The coolest one: the Lighthouse episode, where they actually save two stranded boaters and a chair moves all by itself. Really, really cool footage. And I love the way the guys watching the footage scream out, "Duuuude!" whenever they're shocked by something.
