spousal duties

[realthog]

Oh, gawd, I'm being dragged orft to see Harry Potter and the Half-Cut Prince tonight. Wish me strength, folks.

Last night we likewise went out on a date, and we discovered a magnificent beer: Troeg's Hopback Amber. Now, if I could smuggle a few bottles of that into the cinema tonight perhaps it'd help with the ol' fortitude . . .

See, I was nasty and dragged my long-suffering spouse to a midnight showing, so count yer blessings . . .

"count yer blessings"

I have told Pam this, and she is much pleased.

Do give Ben my sympathies . . .

Way to go! Our local flea pit does not offer midnight showings so my Dearest did not get that pleasure. LOL!

Oh, I dunno. With a midnight showing I might have been able to sleep through it . . .

I recommend Old Granddad for that.

I got the bottled Troeg's after we'd come home. It's one of those extremely rare occasions when the bottled version is near as dammit indistinguishable from the draft: if I had the two side by side I could probably detect a difference, but as I'm concerned (and likewise a sampling Pam) the two are identical.

Unfortunately, the brewery declines to ship more than a few hours away from its home, so you'll have no luck looking for it in Atlanta. But if you're ever up in these parts . . .

Midnight showings make me feel old. (I'm 26.) It isn't so much the sleep deprivation but the CHILDREN. *sigh*

But yeah, it was pretty awesome. :)

One of the kids just a few feet away from us at tonight's performance let out an ear-piercing scream at a frightening bit, and I leapt a yard in my seat. It was actually the scream rather than the frightening bit that made me jump; the kid's young eyes spotted the bit in question long before I did, so it was only during my descent, as it were, that I saw what it was she'd screamed at.

Hahaha! So, did you jump twice?

"So, did you jump twice?"

No! The frightening bit wasn't all that frightening, once I spotted it. It was the scream wot scared the bejabers out of me.
