So, I over-booked myself Friday night. That's not really all that surprising, I kind of forget about travel time between activities, as well as the fact that even though things are supposed to start at 7:30- they really start at 8:00 if you're lucky.
I went to a coworker's birthday dinner in the city, and was planning on staying for an hour, getting some dinner and then driving way out of the city to go see Speed Racer with some other friends. This would have been a good plan if, as soon as I entered the restaurant, I went strait to the kitchen and told them what I wanted and that I wanted it to go. As it was, I waited as long as I could, but eventually just had to leave my dinner behind.
It was a good thing that I left when I did, because we got to the movie just as it was starting. Thankfully some friends had gone ahead and saved seats on the back row (just in case you were wondering, the back row is the best place to sit at an IMAX theater, especially when you are watching the most colorful movie in the world. Seriously, Speed Racer is more colorful than Bollywood).
I think that with my dinner of a red vine and a handful of reces pieces, I might have passed out with all of the colors flying past me at such high speeds if I were sitting any closer. The movie was fun, but unless I'm going to start taking naps on the weekend, I need to get to bed earlier. I must be getting old.
