picking up from before!

went to go meet poochie at st marks area. It's where Oh! Taisho was and sort of reminded me of adams morgan in dc. We went to this korean place that did the bonchon fried chicken so we got some of that, some soondooboo (sp?) and a "korean ocean pancake" It was all hella good. Poochie is hella a waitress, bartender, and intern right now which is pretty heavy metal. We parted ways and I sort of planned to try to meet up after the movie but it got out at 3...

From there I met up with Karri, Sophia, and Robert and we hung a bit at some irish pub downtown which was sort of w/e, I had a glass of old speckeled hen which the bartender was shockingly incapable of pouring. After we left I walked to the theater and on my way totally saw a dude playing bagpipes on the corner of 34th and 6th. Random.

I got to the theatre an hour early and there was still a long ass line. What made it even better was their AC must have been broken because it was literally 80 degrees. I checked. I got some people to hold my spot in line while I tried to get some popped corn. They somehow had 2 people working a sell out crowd and they were in fact perhaps the two least competent people they employ judging by the pace. When I finally got to the movie the heat was still pretty stifling and the popcorn was largely too salty to eat. I had maybe 20% of it... I'm gonna give Avatar it's own separate entry so that'll be next. Anyways the ride back and the overall experience of watching a movie on your own is pretty lonely I must say and I don't really want to do it again. And one of the best things about movies it talking about them on the way home. Ipods don't replace good conversation with friends. I'm glad I saw it in 3D though, shit was mad immersive.
