Twilight

Jenessa and I went to a late night showing of Twilight. It was comical from the beginning. I paid for the movie and Jenessa decided to use her card that gets points. She had two free small soft drinks on the card. Yippee!!! snacks we thought. That was an understatement. We got to the counter and the server said, "You can upgrade to a medium for just 50 cents more."

"A few more ounces over the 16 she is going to give us," I thought.

She started pouring the drinks and wondrous to behold, she had this humongous cup. "Exactly how big is a medium?" I asked. "Oh, about 130 ounces." Almost a full liter of pop!!!! I quickly ran to the bathroom in anticipation of what was going to happen before the movie began. Yep. I had just been out to eat at one of those places that serve you unlimited drinks when you order a soft drink. I was already full to the top of liquid. This is called being a gourmand when it comes to diet soft drinks. I also knew that I would be up most of the night if I drank that big enormous drink.

The movie began and true to form, Jenessa and I were both sipping those enormous drinks. Halfway through the movie Jenessa who had not prepared had to get up. She drank her whole drink. Wisely I drank half and took it home to grow stale in the fridge for breakfast the next day. Yes. I drank it for breakfast and guess what? I spent the whole morning making trips to the bathroom. Not pleasant to think about but thats what happens when you try to be a gourmand of diet soda. And even though we got home from the movie at 1 AM, Jenessa and I both had to suffer the after effects of the pop. We stayed up until 3 AM working up to the idea of sleep.

The next morning two very sleep deprived people laughed over the funny parts of Twilight. To us it turned out to be corny and comedic. Funny parts to watch for: When Edward and Bella meet in class and he is trying not to breathe because he doesn't want to eat her. When Edward makes Bella tell him what he is: ...Edward: "Say it Bella, say it out loud," Bella: "Vampire." And last but not least...when Edward exposes his chest to Bella to show her his sparkliness. Loved it. I actually want to go see it again.
