Double date

So, there's one thing you must understand about me...

For the longest time, most of my friends have been single. Nowadays, they're all not. So there's this part of me that's wanted to do something that I rarely get a chance to with them. But today I did.

I went on a double date! Yay!

The assumption was that my friend dani and Kesi and I would be having lunch together. But she brought her boyfriend. Its all good. Sometimes Kesi and I are like double the everything. Remember how I said people thought dani and I looked alike? Well her boyfriend and Kesi are even more alike than we girls. Their names are even kind of alike, which is why I haven't shared it (remember, Kesi is his middle name). They're both thin and lightskinned. And his birthday is a day before mine, which is just cool in general.

So we went to chili's and had margaritas! Woo! Apparently they have this margarita madness thing going on. I hav a sunrise, which had oranges and some kind of lime something, lol. Dani and her dude had a patron margarita, and Kesi had a TX margarita, which for some reason confused the girl when he asked for the patron on the side, so she ended up bringing him the drink AND an extra shot. Did I mention we didn't eat breakfast and the drinks came 20 minutes before the food? Yeah he was a bit prickly.

I didn't know you could make alfredo spicy. But it was and it was good. Can you believe I didn't take a single picture? Bah. But I think there'll be opportunity for that later as I'm sure this won't be the last time we hang out.

After lunch we went to dani's house and watched some of "alpha dog," which featured Brendan Sexton, who I mentioned last week. But the movie was on mute cuz we were being all philosophical about spirituality and the govt and talking about ANOTHER girl who went to my hs who's gay. We also discussed D wood's high right/low left. And lots of YouTube videos. Then we decided to see "the bank job."

We went to TI's theater. Gotta support his lawyer, or something. So... the previews. There's this one ill conceived film coming out with a dumber name than its premise. "Midnight Meat Train." yeah. Is it just us or does that sound like some really really dirty nasty porn? Yeah. But apparently its about a photographer who witnessed a murder by a butcher on a train. Or some other contrived ish. I had a lil laugh because when Lauren and Reka and I went to see "Saw" there's that one scene where the guy is snapping pictures so he can see in the darkened room, and one of us says, "what are you going to do, paparazzi him to death?" and we laughed so loud and probably disrupted the whole theater, but it was funny! I'm still laughing about it all these years later.

So anyway, the movie was good. The guy from "snatch" and "the transporter" was in it. Jason Statham. He's totally making up for every unattractive skimp looking English guy. He's kinda hot, lol. Always lookin gruff and whatnot. Kesi said when he's in a movie you know someone's getting their ass whooped, lol. So true. The commercial paints the movie as funny and actiony, but it wasn't that funny. I mean, it wasn't not funny cuz they tried and failed, there was just more action than crack ups, you know? I found the whole "Michael X" thing very funny, but apparently he was a real person. And the part where Jamal told his white girlfriend's dad he changed her name, we were like HA! Please go see the movie. Worth it.

I gotta say this about the theater. Yall need to pull it together. When we went to see "semi pro" a few weeks ago, we sat in a dark theater for 5 minutes when the lil commercials ended and the movie previews hadn't started. Why? Nobody was in the lil booth. This time, the movie was almost over, and the joint cut off! I mean, like, it went silent and you could hear the reel clicking. Why? Same reason. Whomever is in that booth, maybe you need to send someone over to crack their knuckles or something, TIP. Straighten them out. That's bad benny.

So all in all it was a good day. Saw an old friend, made a new friend. They listened to kesi's music and dani wants to write in it. Did I mention she's a singer? Yes I did, you weren't paying attn. As a person on the outside of that, I'm excited about it. I think good things could come of it.

Next up? Baseball! Yay! What shall I wear?

Good times...Good times...

Are you stressing what to where to braves game? Something red white and/or blue. LOL

I didn't know TI had a theater, much less a bootleg one.

I didn't know TI had a theater either...is he trying to be like Magic?

Also I think Jason is a cutie pie...he's not my type, but because of that accent he might could get it! LOL!

the joy said...

La- you are so clever, lol. And a tad shallow... He's just so rugged! There has to be a better word for his type but rugged's all I got, lol.

Rashan- yeah its over on camp creek parkway. I don't imagine you would know about it since you live on the other side of town. It opened in the summer. Naw I know what I'm gonna wear. The same thing I always wear. Jeans and a tee. I own nothing braves except a DHL cap from "hat night." but its yellow and red.

Diva- I hope not. Our magic Johnson used to be the jump off... When I was 12...its just rageddy but now that "MnM movies atl" is opened I don't have to go to fairburn or lenox to watch a movie without punching out a rude 12 year old. *did I lose you? Lenox and fairburn aren't really close to me.* and his name is nowhere to be seen. Yeah I love his accent. He may well be going bald, but his accent makes me lose visual focus, so that's fine.
