What have I been watching? : Parks and Recreation
Last movie I watched: Bladerunner 2049
I'm a bit of a cinephile. I really enjoy movies, and going to the theater is something I do very often. Back home I go to the theater at least once a week, and I've saved all the ticket stubs, which are displayed on a chicken-wire frame hanging in my room. I often go alone, which is not at all lonely, but instead peaceful and liberating. Since I've moved and started at a new school, I've not had as much time to go to the theater. But I'm finding a bit more free time now that I've settled in more, and have gone, I believe, a total of 4 times since moving here. I saw the following films: It, Flatliners, Kingsmen 2, and Bladerunner 2049.
There isn't a big theater here in town, but there is a small one-screen theater called The Falls Theater. I cannot over-stress how much I adore this place. It is small and charming, but still features a plenty-large screen and abundant seating. It is also cheap as hell. Ticket price for adults is $4. What really gets me, though, is the concession pricing. Fountain sodas start at $0.75, candy is $1-$1.50, and I don't recall popcorn prices, although they are equally inexpensive. The first time I went there, I got a small coke, small popcorn, and two packages of candy, all for under $5. While the theater only shows one movie at a time, which isn't quite up to my speed of movie-seeing, I can supplement my movie-seeing by going to the Hudson theater, a 12-screen theater 15 minutes away.
The discovery of this remarkable little theater has me quite giddy. Additionally, the coming fall weather has been pleasant. Our Indian summer has cooled slightly, leaving us with pleasant temperatures, brisk morning and evening air, and lovely scenery.
I found myself today with the desire to do some casual reading, but unfortunately I've not had any time to read for fun (I've been too busy neglecting actual school reading). It's something I got back into over the summer, and I miss it. I'd requested a few books to read for fun upon moving here, but had to return them before I'd been able to even start a single one. I was too busy with school work and other happenings.
I have an appointment to get teeth cut out of my skull. You may know this procedure as wisdom teeth surgery. The day after Thanksgiving, an oral surgeon will extract both top and bottom molars from my jaw. I do not look forward to this. I will have two days of recovery, and will then resume school. My understanding is that, as my teeth are removed from my jaw, wisdom will seep from the bloody sockets and soak into the roof of my mouth (wisdom rises, of course). From there, the gaseous wisdom will be absorbed into my brain. A medical professional could more accurately describe the process, but I believe that is the gist of the operation.
For those to whom it was not clear, that was me joking.
Peace and love
