A good evening was indeed had last night, yay!

It's funny when I was like 12 I used to love going to the mall. A lot of it was the same reason that I like to catalogue shop - I like looking at pretty and/or cool things but I don't necessarily have to have them. I've since outgrown the experience, but can still find some fun in it as long as I'm not really involved in shopping for clothes or shoes (way too many long boring experiences of being dragged clothes shopping with various family members.)

Glasses are another matter. Yes, they're appallingly, wallet witheringly expensive, but it's actually kind of fun running around and trying out the different, usually ridiculous styles. I didn't get frames yesterday - I like the one's I'm in plus the new lenses cost enough to make the baby Jesus cry (stupid astigmatism...), but there was some amount of just trying stuff, for shits and giggles. The outing was made even more fun by both

morlock and I being in hyperactive little kid mode much to the amusement of the guy helping us, who was really nice and only smiled and shook his head when

morlock and I were poking each other, smacking each other with credit card brochures, and making horrible double entendres. (He was also so fabulously flamingly gay that the people around us were in danger of incineration.)

Well, anyway, thank the Goddess, the days of looking through these cloudy-ass lenses are numbered. In hopefully less than two weeks, I will have glasses again, and I can go to the movies without having to watch the whole thing with my head tipped to an angle. Gah.

Oh speaking of which, after picking up

morlock's new glasses (he got new frames; we spent about 45 minutes and involved most of the staff of the store in picking out a set - there really should have been a camera crew around to capture the exercise in metrosexuality, seriously. But the new glasses? Hawt.), we picked up our pet white chicks (hee hee) and went to see X3, which was adequately entertaining, but flawed, much like the other two installments of the movie. This one I think, had too much going on, and too little character development in less time. There were sequences that were awesome however, and the movie did have several little moments of pure brilliance, which just means it could have been a ton better. Still, it was a good way to spend two hours, and we did show up in time to catch previews for Ghost Rider (which looks interesting, though I don't know about Nick Cage as a superhero, though blessedly he isn't in anything tight) and Serpents on a 747 (which looks wonderfully cheesy).

Home again afterwards, where I spent some time cuddling, reassuring and chatting with a moody

sundart, and then quite accidentally fell asleep before 11. Guess all that running around yesterday made me sleepy. Still sleepy actually. Breakfast time.
