a dirty martini has olive juice in it

tuesday night i picked up nakita for our dinner and movie outing. she picked max & erma's, can't go wrong with that. we sat and talked and read the drink menu while we waited for our food to arrive. the menu had all these little drink facts at the bottom of each page. that's where we learned the definition of a dirty martini, who knew? well not the two of us anyway.

after dinner we headed to target to kill the hour we had before the movie started. i went for some goobers for the movie, but got distracted by a box of reese's pieces. nikki spent an hour trying to decide what she was in the mood for. ms. k texted me earlier in the week to inform me that entertainment weekly's pop culture quiz was out. we did the last two together so i wanted to track this year's down. no luck. so i finally broke down and asked for some help. one of the cashiers led me all around looking for it, and finally found it hidden behind another magazine. it was the previous week's issue, but after all her hard work i didn't have the nerve to put it back. so i bought a week old issue that i really wasn't interested in reading. i was "randomly" picked for a survey and a chance to win an alaskan cruise. randomly enough nikki was chosen as well. we agreed to take one another on the cruise if one of us ended up winning. our cashier told us to have fun, and the wished us a good night.

we made our way to the theater and got our tickets for hostage with bruce willis. late at night, during the week, you have to buy your tickets inside at the concession counter. nikki tried to order a cherry coke from the guy selling the tickets. he informed her that she was in the wrong line. she said she'd take a ticket instead, but couldn't remember the name of the movie that we were seeing. i think he was annoyed with us by the time we were done.

so we went to our theater and sat down. we had the place to ourselves so we were being loud and goofy. then these four odd characters came in and made their way to the front. it must have been a big night out for them because they kept taking pictures of one another. i guess when you only get to leave your trailer park once a year it's something you should try and document.

soon we were joined by three loud women who sat in the row directly behind us. when they sat down i heard one say, "if your water breaks just let me know and we'll leave." i was happy to hear that her friend was nice enough not to force the about to give birth woman to stay around until the credits began to roll. i spent a good majority of the movie fearing for my flip-flop wearing feet. i kept waiting for the sound of gushing water hitting the floor. eek.

the movie was pretty sweet. ben foster used to be cute once upon a time. now he will forever ick me out. if i never see another movie with him in it i'll be just fine. aside from that i enjoyed the rest of the movie. i think they should have just called it what it really was, die hard 4, but that's just me.

i dropped nikki off and headed home. after realizing that i had to be up for work in five hours, but that i drank way too much iced tea to sleep, i watched a little WE. two guys & a girl was such a great show. i eventually passed out sometime after two and i think i had a creepy dream about ben foster.
