today was movie sunday with jules. we opted to find a place for brunch before instead of lunch after the movie. i'm all about shaking things up these days. earlier in the week jules emails me and asks me if i know of any places around the theater that open that early on a sunday. i give her four options, she emails me back and suggests another place. too funny. i'm reminded of G always saying she doesn't care where we eat, it's my pick, any place is fine. then i pick, and she's instantly craving someplace else. jules isn't like that at all, it just made me smile. so i'm one minute late for the meet up time as i pull up to the intersection by the restaurant. as my phone begins to play a little mat kearney i see that jules is calling me. turns out the restaurant isn't open yet. a place that advertises breakfast doesn't open until 11, okay. so we head for the least busiest restaurant we can find. shortly we find ourselves inside a waffle house where i feel slightly over dressed. in jeans and an oxford, i feel slightly over dressed. i'm a bit taken back by the menu, everything comes separately and i have a hard time trying to find everything to put it together. as i'm ordering my waffle i realize that i am in fact ordering a waffle, seconds before for some reason i was thinking that it was french toast. as i say waffle i begin to wonder if i even like waffles, then i come to the conclusion that the only waffle i've ever had was an eggo. so again, i'm in for a new experience. it wound up being pretty good, and the sausage was pretty yummy too. after talking for an hour or so and attempting to hammer out some plans for the upcoming JT concert we make our way to the theater. jules doesn't remember telling me how much she wanted to see running with scissors and asks me what it's even about. she seems to recollect what the movie is about when i tell her who is in it. however i begin to wonder if she's just doing that to be polite. since i picked the science of sleep last month i begin to worry that she will wind up hating this movie as well. luckily that isn't the case. when the movie ends she yells out that she can't believe it was a true story. i'm constantly surprised when someone isn't as popculturally advanced as i am. she's a lawyer and one of the smartest people i know yet movie trivia seems to be lost on her. maybe that's how she views me when it comes to my lack of political knowledge. i liked the movie, it was what i expected it to be. i knew i'd like the book so much better, and i did. but i wasn't let down by the movie. there were a few changes that annoyed me a bit. the soundtrack was pretty sweet. evan rachel wood chews apart every single scene that she's in, as she always does. and it further established my ever growing crush on ryan murphy's body of work.
