Saw JASON at THE RED DOOR with CORALINE and THE HUSKIES
It’s rare, but I was actually able to fill my long weekend with an abundance of fun activities.
Friday Bub and I went on a pre-Valentines Day date and attended the new Friday The 13th film. (we even managed to guzzle a few over-priced beers before the show. Anything to thin the blood) The return of Jason Vorhees was just what I’d expected and just what I hoped it would be: Lots of blood, decent scares, and, of course, lots of naked ladies. Though I did feel sorry for the 12 year old girl sitting next to me who spent the hour and a half film with her face in her hands, too terrified to look at the screen. That’s what she gets for wanting to be a big girl and see a slasher film instead of Paul Blart.
Saturday night I made the trek to Watertown along with Jay, Jamie, Krista, and my old friend Marcy. I usually try to spend Valentines Day consuming as much booze as possible and Saturday night was no different. By the end of the night the scary looking Cougars at the Red Door actually started to look kind of appealing.
Sunday Aidan and I attended the movie Coraline. I can’t recommend this film enough. Is it too childish for adults? Is it too adult for kids? The answer to both those questions is “Hell No”. It’s a dark little fairy tale, teaching kids it’s important to be curious but be aware of the consequences that go with it.
Sunday night I nurtured my trashy side and indulged in some good ole fashioned rasslin’ on Pay Per View.
Monday, thanks to a Christmas present from Jamie, I attended the College Basketball Game of the Year along with Jamie, Jay and Joot. And although UCONN lost to Pitt thanks to some bonehead officiating and more so because Thabeet forgot he had a game Monday night, I still had as much fun as you can have at a sporting event when your team loses.
So overall, probably the best weekend I’ve had so far in 2009 and believe me, I don’t take it for granted.
I’m already looking forward to the next big event on the horizon but if I told you what that was you wouldn’t believe me and would certainly deem me a lying scumbag.
