Yesterday was pretty awesome.  Even after a late night on Saturday I was up at 8am so I did laundry, made some soup stock and cleaned my apartment before heading out to a dim sum lunch at Li Wah. We made a stop at the Asian Market and then I came home and worked on my blog redesign some. You can see the real-deal at Dazzlepants.  Pretty spiffy eh? Not bad for an afternoon.

On Friday night I reluctantly agreed to go with friends to see “My Bloody Valentine 3D” last night. Considering I have not liked horror movies since seeing the last one at age 12, I was a little reluctant to go. But the movies was in 3D and I would be with a large group so I thought it was safe.

I agreed to go because I think it is good to step out of your comfort zone on a regular basis. The scenario reminded me of when I was nervous to go to see the movie Cloverfield because I thought it was going to be super suspenseful and I have this irrational fear of Aliens (that’s a whole other blog…). Turns out the the only thing frightening was loosing my margarita buzz 15 minutes into the film and being forced to sit in the front row where our necks were sore for an entire week after from having to look vertical during entire movie.

We were handed 3D glasses and were Id’d 3 times before getting in to the theatre? 3 Times…yeah really?  We finally realized why after seeing the 3D sex/nudity scene that takes place in the middle of the film. So, I sat with my coat pulled over my eyes about 1/3 of the movie while the hardcore slasher parts were happening. I just kept thinking of the Foley artists on a movie screen set squishing cantaloupes to emulate the sounds of oozing guts and such. Needless to say, I made it through the movie and now Greg and I want to start producing 3D porn movies. Ca-ching, ca-ching!

We stopped out for a drink after the film and danced down to bad 80/90s dance music while rocking our souvenir glasses and dining on a delicious Asian Pocky snack.

I may have missed 1/3 of the movie snuggled into my winter-coat but I still give myself a gold star for seeing my first horror movie in 19 years.
