OMG! An actual post from me! The world is now coming to an end!
LOL, seriously I hope everyone had a safe and happy Christmas this year... those of you who celebrate, that is. Mine was very good.
Here's my swag:
Not bad! And yes, that IS a Snuggie you see. Laugh all you want, it's very comfortable and practical. So there!
We went to the movies on Saturday. That was an adventure in itself, lemme tell ya. We looked online to see when the show times were so that we would know how to block out our time since we were going to see three movies in one day. We had it all planned, you see. First up was Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakuel (Shut up!), then Princess and the Frog and finally, bringing up the rear was Sherlock Holmes. Alvin started at 10:20 or so. So we buy all our tickets at the ticket counter/concession stand and head to the first one. We sit in there and wait for the film to start and we realize that it's past the time and yet, no movie. Soon the manager comes in and explains that the projector is having issues and the film cannot be shown. She gives everyone free movie passes and we exit. So, that being sunk, we decide to sit in on another movie while we wait for our second feature of the day. So we go into another theater and see The Blind Side for the second time, which we didn't fuss about since we wanted to see it again anyway eventually.
So, that movie exits and we have quickly go to the next theater in order to see The Princess and the Frog only to be told that THAT projector had a meltdown and therefore wasn't going to be playing. Frustrated, we went to the ticket counter to try to salvage our tickets. So the manager was there again and she looked at the schedule and decided to trade out our remaining tickets and movie times for two other times. So we decided on a later showing of Sherlock and an afternoon showing of Alvin.
So we had some time to kill and decided to head over to the mall and grab a bite to eat. While there, mom decided she want a thumb ring, so we go to Claire's and purchase one. I got another one as well.
We decide it's time for the movie to start and we head back over. Alvin was a pretty cute, fluffy movie. I liked it and that's all that matters.
Finally we went to see Sherlock. Lemme tell you, it was FANTASTIC! I loved it! And they made no effort to hide the HoYay between Holmes and Watson, that's for sure. Of course, there are people complaining that it's NOTHING like Holmes. Uh, have these people even READ the books? Book!Holmes never wore a deerstalker cap or smoked a hooked pipe. That was FILM PORTRAYALS FOLKS!!! Also, Watson wasn't a bumbling oaf. He was actually pretty shrewd and quite the ladies man. All in all, I'd definitely see it again!
