Talk about procrastinating

Last Christmas (as in 2003) I was given gift certificates to the RAVE movie theater chain. I've used a few of them, but I have 2 more and they expire TODAY.

So, looking at the movie schedule, I'm currently trying to decide between matinees of "Finding Neverland", "The Life Aquatic," and "The Aviator." Still don't know which I'll end up seeing (I figure one gift certificate for the movie and the other for popcorn and a coke so that I can finish them off without spending all afternoon and evening at the theater.

Also considering buying a bottle of bubbly. Don't know why. I'm not a big wine drinker. It just... I don't know. I kinda just want to.

Okay, have spent my 2003 Rave coupons and ended up seeing "The Life Aquatic." It was...um... unique? I think it will fare better as one of those movies you have in your DVD collection that you know really well. It has some funny bits. It has some interesting bits. And it's just overall, a little strange. Still not quite sure what I make of it.

Saw the trailer for "Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy" and the trailer pretty much sucks. It basically just has "Don't Panic" and then the earth blowing up which, of course, makes perfect sense if you've read the book. It's just that it doesn't really give the people watching the trailer the sense that this book is all HUMOR.

The other trailer of "He's predicted this doom..." with the ultra-serious voice then the reveal that it's a little cartoon animated Chicken Little did come off as funny.

I also managed to hit the stores and got one of those 187ml tiny bottles of champagne and some chocolate truffles. This image of stylish decadence if of course blown by the fact that I'm sipping from my champagne flute while wearing a white t-shirt, charcoal yoga pants, and fuzzy slippers. I'm a real party animal.

I also bought black-eyed peas for tomorrow (and what the hell is THAT tradition all about? I've never understood it, but since I like black-eyed peas it's never an imposition to go out and cook them on New Year's Day. I even got the fresh ones so I'm going to try to do the Highland's Grill version of them.)

Anyway, Happy New Years everyone.
