Ah, Pirates!

I realized tonight that apparently I can't get enough of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. We went to see the fourth movie (On Stranger Tides) last month, and a day or two later, I rewatched the third movie (At World's End). Tonight, I flipped on the TV in my hotel, and discovered that they were showing At World's End on SyFy, so I had to watch.

Mostly, it's on as background noise for now. I have a REALLY hard time watching anything when I don't have yarn and a crochet hook in hand. And oddly, I don't often bring my crochet with me on trips, mostly because I'd have to fill most of my backpack with different colors of yarn to have enough projects to keep me busy. :)

There's other things I could be doing tonight. Reading more books (I've gotten through five already this week, which means I only have two left for my flights home tomorrow) or writing some stories (I've got three partially done stories that I should be working on) would be better options. But Pirates sucks me in every time. :)

So it turned out that "Pirates of the Carribean" WAS in fact playing in C-dale, so we got to go see it last night... and it was quite good... the theater was PACKED... though, amazingly, the audience didn't get all loud and obnoxious (as they often do, here in C-dale)... there were a LOT of kids there... but it makes sense, seeing as it was really a movie geared towards kids, or at least not really geared towards adults...

All of the previews, however, sucked mightily... there was one movie ("Envy") to which I said, "maybe, on video"... but how can you say no to Jack Black and Ben Stiller? :) I was thinking that maybe "The Haunted Mansion" would be okay, but then I found out Eddie Murphy is in it... yuck, no thanks... it COULD have been somewhat creepy, now it's just gonna be silly... *sigh*...

We also found out that they have really good deals on some DVDs at Wal-Mart right now... we got "Sleepy Hollow" for $10... and almost got "Edward Scissorhands" for the same price, but I was convinced that we owned that on video... turns out we don't... so we'll go back for that one soon... :)

Oh, and as a side note, I'm beginning to wonder if my printer at home only sucks because of the paper I've been giving it... I printed out some address labels (for real life) and business cards (for game), and both printed amazingly clearly... now I need to find some different paper to feed it to test my theory...

Oh... this is just great... I was hoping that maybe Kerasotes didn't have their page updated, but, on a whim, I looked at the listings for one of the theatres in Edwardsville... THEY'RE getting "Pirates of the Carribean" tonight... why the hell aren't we?

Argh... for some reason, it appears that "Pirates of the Carribean" isn't opening in C-dale tonight... this is going to make the SWG a very unhappy camper, if it ends up being true... I suppose I can check Marion... but ARGH... (and not in a good, pirate-y, way...)
