Yup that's right! I went on a date...by myself!! Nothing says fun like a weepy romance and a bag of stale popcorn--for 1! But staying home on a Friday night didn't sound much better and I was too tired to go check out the club scene so...movie it is!
I looked online until I found a movie in English (and that's REAL English, not dubbed in Czech with English subtitles) and settled on "P.S. I Love You" or rather "P.S. Miluji Te". When I walked into the theater, the first thing I thought was "Kyle would LOVE this place!!!!!" Not only did the concession stand sell beer, but they also had 4 different kinds of popcorn to choose from: salty, sweet, cheddar, and cheese and bacon. I was boring and got salty.
Carrying my treats, I found the right theater (after translating my ticket stub that had entirely too many numbers) and went to sit down. However, I soon figured out that it wasn't a free-for-all but reserved seating!! Examining my ticket a little bit more I found a "D6" and went and sat down in row "D" seat "6". The problem with reserved seating isn't that you can't sit wherever you want...no...the problem is that, when you're alone, you don't get to choose whom you sit next to! As luck would have it, I was surrounded by 4 couples: left, right, behind, in front. The couple in front were making out like animals while the others were snuggling and holding hands. Great. The awkward 9th wheel.
The movie started and all the previews were in Czech and they were more like commercials than previews. Instead of the newest Denzel flick, it was orange juice and instead of the sequel to Narnia it was a cell phone company. They threw in a little porn in right before the movie just to spice things up...boobs galore!
The movie was wonderful and Hilary Swank's character reminded me so much of myself. If you have ever been to a movie with me, you know I do not shy away from my emotions. So I began to cry....well cry is an understatement.... I began to WEEP! Tears just streaming down my face. I'm sure everyone else felt the same way, but they just had their significant others to help them deal with the emotions...at least thats what I told myself.
Now I am home and so ready for bed!! Tomorrow? Czesky Krumlov I think....
Miluji Te!

Kelsey,
Yaya's birthday was Thursday. Jess,Ya and I celebrated with lunch and the same flick...what fun for you to see it abroad! It made very me thankful to have a wonderful man in my life that I am so happy to kiss!
We enjoyed the movie, tears and laughs shared with 3 generations of women.
So glad you are taking on life alone and not missing out,even on Friday night.
