one crazy night.

i had this movie coupon for two that was expiring today, so my original plan was to watch "in america". unfortunately those plans didn't work out at the last minute. so i'm calling / messaging people at 9 PM on a sunday night to ask them to see a movie. people must have thought i was crazy considering everyone had school or work the next day. i just didn't want the coupon to completely go to waste.

anyway, i ending up watching "the butterfly effect" at yorkdale. thanks to ben for coming out so late tonight since the movie didn't start until 10:40. it was, surprisingly, an entertaining movie--probably 'cause i wasn't expecting much. pretty good thriller with some interesting twists and turns. however, i thought the ending was a cop-out and way too predictable. also, there were times that all i could think was, "hey, that's kelso running around!" and then i would start chuckling in parts that probably weren't supposed to be funny. :)

i have to also say it's friggin' EXPENSIVE to watch a movie on a regular night. the two tickets had a value of $27.90. crazy. that means a date at the movies on saturday night would cost close to 50 bucks!--two tickets, two drinks & a popcorn. damn!

i also re-learned a couple of valuable lessons tonight:
1) i shouldn't make promises that i can't keep. fairly or unfairly, i was a little annoyed when my plans didn't work out tonight. when plans change at the last minute, it's very difficult to re-arrange my schedule when you're depending on certain plans to happen. anyway, i know that i've probably done this to my some of my friends before too. tonight i just realized how those people must have felt. (still, i understand that under certain circumstances, people may have completely valid reasons for changing their plans.)

2) procrastination is BAD. ultimately i couldn't really be mad with anyone 'cause i waited until the expiry date to use the coupon. so it was my fault that i was calling people in a frenzy and, consequently, getting worked up about something kinda petty.

alrite, it's been a long nite (and i didn't even get a chance to watch the oscars). time for bed.
