So, my little brother and I both saw the new Narnia movie, but we didn't see it at the same time, and he was sad and all that we couldn't see it together. So we went again, today, to see it. Only I can't drive, so my mom drove us. We both brought our phones, so that we could call to get picked up.
I promised my little brother we'd get snacks before the movie, but literally every snack place in the entire theater - there are four - was closed. I said not to worry, and that we could get the snacks after and eat them in the car on the way home. He's fine with that, and we go into the movie.
(By the way, a few days after I saw it the first time, I was told that the particular showing I saw had got the reels mixed up so I saw it out of order. It was weird watching it in the right order, this time.)
Halfway through the movie, I check the time on my phone, and hypocritically ask my brother if his phone is off. He informs me that his phone is out of charge. I look at mine, and realize that mine is close to being out of charge, too. Throughout the rest of the film, I don't tell him and think of a way to get around this.
Once out of the movie, I inform him, and we resolve to find a change machine, a payphone and food from the food court, if I can't use the rest of my phone's charge to call home. I can't, so we look around for a change machine and my little brother says:
"Is that dad?"
It's far away, so I don't know if it is or not.
"My brain must just be weird," he says.
"No, that's dad," I say.
"I don't know if it is or not."
"It is."
It is. Apparently, the plan had been that he would come to the mall where the theater was and wait until we called. He had just come inside anyways. We tell him about our phones, laugh and resolve to go home.
Then I remember about the snacks and suggest that we go to the candy store in the mall.
We do.

I like that story. Yesterday evening was nice for me.
So my girlfriend made some friends with a guy at work who recently moved here from England. Em, if you're listening, don't get too excited. The guy was born in Houston originally. Still has the accent, but he's technically an American. His wife was a full Brit, though.
Anyways, since we're all nerds, we talk about various nerdy stuff, ranging from video games to TV shows.
Near the end of the night, some guy at another table overheard his accent and goes into a drunken rant about..I don't know. English stuff. Our friend said something witty and then the guy goes on about "Beard Talk"....which I have no idea what that even means. We're all laughing way too hard. It wasn't long before he noticed me and the Alienware ballcap I was wearing. This sends him into a looooooong rant about aliens raping cows, diarrhea, rabid dog v****a and other things. I wish there was a video recorder handy. I was laughing to the point of pain.
But anyway, my girlfriend's work buddy and his wife turned out to be a nice couple. Only embarrassing thing was that it took me all night just to drink two pints. This guy put away at least ten. I need to work on my tolerance level.
