you've read too many books you've seen too many plays

best laid plans and all - last night (yet again) was supposed to be an evening spent at home in the company of a novel and perhaps the cbc's stellar coverage of the turino festivities. yet again i ended up at the last minute having fun in impromptu activities. which is to say that i went to see 'walk the line' at a drive in with boy australia. and spending the night in a hotel.

well it's too far to drive home, you see.

really it is.

it's a long way away.

*ahem* anyway.

i haven't made out at a drive in for... well, ever actually. i used to go to the one up in pee gee, but when i was young it was usually a carload of girls and a bag full of weed. as an adult i used to take the kiddo for a novelty. i remember going to the last night it was open at the end of september and having to periodically scrape the frost off the inside of the windows. it was this depth of experience with gave me the foresight to bring a blanket. it was the blanket which gave me the wherewithal to remove my pants when invited to do so. fortunatley we arrived at the tail end of 'big momma 2', so i was ok with facing the back of the car.

i wouldn't have been so pleased to miss walk the line - i really did want to see that one. it was fabulous, by the way. if you haven't seen it i highly recommend it. r-r-a-A-A-W-W-w-r-r joaquin phoenix.
