I decided that since my trip to the movies yesterday didn't end up in a homicide, I would try it again today. I made it just in time for the first showing of 30 Minutes Or Less. I won't mention the lady in front of me who was buying 7 child tickets and one adult ticket for the first showing of The Smurfs 3D that she was 30 minutes late for. (oops, I guess I just did) I was the first person in the auditorium for the movie and thought I had it to myself. Just as the movie was starting, about 10 teenagers came in. They were being loud for the first few minutes until I decided to ask them in my special polite way to quieten down a bit. Despite the initial issues, the movie was very pleasant and the only negative side effect was the sore jaw muscles from strenuous laughter (and lots of it).
After the first movie was over, I took a walk to CiCi's to grab some lunch and wait for the next showing of Conan The Barbarian. I should have just saved the ticket and drink price and went to Starbucks. I don't know how they did it, but they managed to turn Conan into a bore that not even my dream girl (Rose McGowan) couldn't make it watchable. Bad graphics and even worse acting made this one no more than two hours of my life I'll never get back. At least the theater was air-conditioned.
The day ended up being salvaged. I went to Panda Express and my favorite girl was working the counter. Accidental discounts rock.

Sounds like you're making the best of being stranded. I've met some of the most interesting people at times when I've found myself in a stuck situation. Best of luck.

You said a mouthful there Shooter. You should see some of the characters floating around our terminal. It's almost frightening to know that these people are roaming free.
