Somehow, we found ourselves in 13 Going on 30 instead.
Let me defend this decision for a moment without actually defending the movie itself. Jennifer Garner is on the cusp of bigtime fame. She's poised to be the next Julia Roberts. If this movie does well, her price tag could jump ten million a picture. And she deserves that. She deserves that because she is beautiful and also adorable and also quite good.
13 Going on 30 - She was perfect. The movie around her was not. The movie around her was written by a coathanger, I think. Something THAT inanimate.
But like I said, I was doing Jennifer herself a service.
The book sale was big and junky. Couldn't find a single novel. Bought a little book on insects, a little book on space. Nothing else.
We decided to have lunch at Blimpie. I know, I know... yes, we had sunk THAT low. Turns out, Blimpie is the hippest of the hip here in Norwalk. Jeep after jeep of Abercrombie and Fitch looking baseball playing assholes and their dumb girlfriends. It was a joke on us. It had to be a joke. I can go a week without seeing anyone under the age of thirty and yet here was an entire baseball team and their girlfriends.
Do you detect a bit of animosity toward the fuckers? Yes, you do.
Girlfriend to Abercrombie Asshole: Guess what Wednesday is!??!?! Free Scoop Day at Baskin Robbins!
People that plan for Free Scoop Day are idiots. What is it, like $1.50 for a motherfucking scoop of ice cream?
