date night



Kevin got off a little early one night I wasn't working so we could do a little date night. Since we both work nights, this never happens. It was fun to go to dinner together and know we didn't have to go to work later.
We of course went to Texas Roadhouse because we love that place and one of Kevin's friends gave him a gift card that he said he wasn't going to use. This always happens to Kevin. His friends know he will use that kind of stuff so they give him punched out cafe rio or pizza cards so we get free meals. Thanks friends.

We wanted to go see a movie but since it was 10:00 late, the only movie showing was a TWO FOR ONE! And one of the movies was Moneyball which we had been wanting to see. We all of a sudden felt young and hip and was like:

"Oh yeah! We are going to stay up sooo late tonight and watch TWO MOVIES! No big deal!"
And
"TWO movies for the price of ONE! Now THAT'S a deal! We'll take it!"

So we get stoked. The first movie was The Ides of March starring George Clooney and Ryan Gosling. When the movie starts and he sees the actors, Kevin goes "Ohhhhh, now I see why you wanted to see this so bad..." But you see, I didn't even know!
And I didn't even know it was rated R.
But it was good! There was swearing yes, but only a little sexuality. Go see Breaking Dawn; that movie has 4x as much sexuality as this movie. So I was impressed. It seems like PG-13 movies these days are trying too hard to be bad and sexy. Some rated R movies don't need to prove anything, since they are all ready rated R and are bad-a, so they just throw in some swearing and F-bombs and call it good.
So the movie was entertaining. And then it ended, and we were like:

"Oh yeah we are totally ready for a whole extra movie!" For free nonetheless. So we hang out in the theater for a good twenty minutes. Kevin gets anxious and tries to find out what the deal is with this two for one movie. I try to play patient and be like, "It will play! We are just having a little intermission!"
The other 3 people in the theater have left so we think, hey, maybe they are playing the next movie in another theater. So we go check it out. There is one theater playing. We walk in. There are two young kids, sporting there theater uniform, watching a movie all by themselves. We interrupt their little movie date and go:

"What the heck its 12:00 am and we are ready for our next movie!"

They explain to us that Moneyball had played earlier that day and somehow, miraculously, we were supposed to know that. Somehow.
We weren't going to let them play us like that. We wanted two movies. Two for one. None of this one for one crap.
So we demanded two extra movie tickets!
Kidding. Were not those rude people. We were about to just sit down and watch whatever movie they were going to watch because, heck, we wanted our late night. We wanted to be young and hip again!
But they obviously weren't too happy with that idea so they gave us two free movie tickets. Oh. Yeah. Two for one.

We like this two for one.
