Every now and then I have to work a Sunday and so I get the preceding Friday off. I like to use the time to go out and do stuff that would normally be busy on a weekend.
I was considering going to the Food Show, but I think I’m over that. Senior citizens and cheese cubes and packet-mix pasta sauce samples have limited entertainment value.
So instead I strolled in to Newmarket and saw “Starter For 10” at the Rialto. I was kinda bored while I waited for the film to start, so I texted live updates of the trailers, etc, to Twitter.
2.17pm It’s my Sunday Friday so I’m enjoying the pleasures of a near empty cinema.
2.18pm I would like to point out that the movie has not started yet. I an not a rude film texter.
2.20pm Eagle vs Shark trailer – makes me want that crazy love. Unf!
2.25pm Black Snake Moan looks dirty and filthy and awesome.
4.07pm Movie review: Starter For Ten. Funny, sweet, heartbreaking, uplifting and with a choice ’80s soundtrack. What being a student is actually like more than most movies manage.
4.57pm Foodtown on a Friday afternoon is tolerable when one has the Mint Chicks on one’s iPod.
I can’t believe that the Food Show is not pretty much a highlight of your calendar. I wonder if this reflects most on you, me, or the Auckland vs Wellington qualities of our respective shows.
We went to the Food Show – I’m still totally into it 🙂
However – being that this was the first time we went on a friday – it was full of elderly people and housewives (yes – me included!)
