near & far, betwixt & between
my eye doctor informed me yesterday that i am an oddity. nice to know considering he is the first eye doctor who has told me that on eye is near-sighted and one eye is far-sighted. i've been seeing eye doctors since i was five and none have told me this before. apparently they assumed i would know this based on my prescriptions? yes, because i'm such an expert on reading prescrptions.
my other adventure yesterday afternoon. in my quest to the larger indie film theatre in cary, i spent 35 minutes driving from north raleigh to cary in rush hour traffic, a trip that usually takes 15 minutes tops. i couldn't locate the theatre as there was no sign (the town of cary is beyond particular about their signage). i attempted to call the theatre no less than three timesa nd got no live person, only the movie recordings. when i did locate the theatre it was 4:35 PM, 20 minutes after the listed start time. since previews are so freakin' long nowadays, i assumed i would make the beginning of the movie.
the kid behind the counter sold me my ticket and my drink. as i moseyed into the theatre, i noted i was the only soul in there and that there was no movie playing. two seconds later the same kid who just sold me my ticket and drink informs me that the movie wouldn't be running. apparently their policy is to start the movie within 15 minutes of the start time. because i didn't purchase my ticket within that time i would have to be refunded my money. why the kid didn't tell me this when i bought the ticket? i don't know. talk about somebody who was hot ... i was ready to come across that counter and strangle him. the manager apologized profusely and gave me a comp ticket, as well as refunded my money.
but dang, i wanted to see dogville! i suppose it'll be on the agenda for the weekend now. i'll definitely need some cooling theatre time since it will be mid-to-upper 90s with ridiculous humidity and the pool can only cool one off so much ...
