The SUN is trying like hell to get here!!
Yay. Finally. The sun keeps eek-ing its way out. I think we will finally have a day without constant, steady RAIN.
That said, though, some of my plants are thriving in all this wet stuff. For instance, say hello to the mulberry tree that seems bound and determined to make its way inside my bedroom window this year! (And it is loaded with tiny mulberries that, the minute they are ripe, the birds will be going crazy over. It'll sure be interesting to see that madness right outside my bedroom window with 3 cats in the house...)
Let's see, let's see; what do you suppose is on my agenda for today, gang???
Re: my post yesterday -- about nearly forgetting that POTC #4 was opening today: Late last evening, in glamorous PJs and a head full of curlers, it finally occurred to me that I never actually set a time to meet my cousin in the lobby of the AMC theater. And that I had no idea at what times the movie was even showing (besides all day, every hour on the hour, in about 17 different theaters, to either the left or the right of the popcorn machine...)
So I pulled the schedule up on my laptop and called her on my handy cell phone that suddenly began bleating at me that the batteries were basically DEAD, so I had to hurry. "Okay," I said, hurrying. "We can either see it in IMAX 3D, or plain old 3D, or just plain old film, or we can see Pirates of the Caribbean: on Stranger Tides -- The Musical!!, or we can see Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides -- Director's Cut; or even Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides -- The Musical! Director's Cut: OUTTAKES & Bloopers, in IMAX 3D!!"
Okay, well, perhaps I exaggerate, but Christ there are way too many options to try to mull over while your cell phone battery is bleating at you to: HANG UP, NOW, BABY; THIS BATTERY IS SPLITSVILLE, DADDY-O & WE AIN'T KIDDING, GIRLFRIEND!! and while my stalwart cousin is urgently warning me: "Call me when you're in your car and on the way because I'm not just going to stand there forever in the lobby waiting on you!!"
ME [in above-mentioned glamorous PJs and curlers, saying urgently]: "But I don't know how I'm going to get there from where I'll be coming from!!"
COUSIN [urgently to husband in background]: "How does she get to the theater from where she'll be coming from?"
HUSBAND: "Well, where is she going to be coming from??"
PHONE: "SERIOUSLY, HANG UP NOW OR GET PLUGGED IN SOMEWHERE BECAUSE WE'RE -- bleep bleep --DYING HERE!!"
etc., etc., etc.
Jeez. So much stress over such a joyful thing, n'est ce pas???
Well, we decided on the IMAX version, I guess because we like to feel gouged out of that extra currency -- OOPS! -- I meant to say: we are eager to experience the complete IMAX experience. Although, frankly, both of us would be just as happy seeing it on plain old film. But, what the hell, we're suckers. I'm sure it will be absolutely fabulous!! See you there, gang!!
