Late night movies

Ah, it is so much fun to decide to do something at the spur of the moment. Jonathan came by the store again. Tony needs to hire him so he'll get paid for his time at the store. lol At one point he got a craving for a giant cookie. I was helping someone when he disappeared but I figured that was where he went. He came back with a big box for us all. How sweet. And they were yummy. I don't usually like white chocolate but it's fine in The Cookie Company's white chocolate chunk and macadamia nut cookies. Yum. . .I love cookies with nuts in them.

Since Jonathan didn't have anything to do, I suggested that we go see The Skeleton Key. Figured we'd drag Marci along too but she didn't want to see a scary film. So, we settled on The Wedding Crashers and the plan to meet with Jonathan as soon as we finished closing the store. This would have been no problem normally but our calendar kiosk is open (don't ask me why when it's only September) and there was some confusion with its closing. So, we didn't get out until 10p. Movie started at 9:40. Still, not too bad but Marci thought it was at the one theatre when it was actually at the other. . .so, we got there way too late to go in. Not many choices. I pushed Four Brothers but Marci couldn't decide until she ran into a former co-worker (she used to work at the theatre) and he said it was good. So that is what we ended up seeing.

And it was good. The dialogue was snappy and there were some new things in the action/fight sequences. So, it was a pretty good choice.

Oh, and I don't want to forget to mention that Jonathan now has a new car. I forget what kind it is but you can see it on his blog. It's very cute and a very nice little ride. It actually didn't feel too small to me (though it is smaller than something I would by) and was very comfy. It's silver so I've dubbed it The Silver Bullet (and yes, I am very well aware of the connotations). Jonathan has a right to be proud of his acquisition.

Before I forget, I should mention that on Thursday I had the students analyze "The Music of the Night" from The Phantom of the Opera. That section liked Butler's performance better than Crawford's. But one student decided to be a wit and claimed that it was all about a man on a toilet ("to sweet music's throne"). *snort* Too damn funny. And he made his argument well. Such an interesting semester thus far.
