Movies and Knitting

I've been seeing a lot of movies this past week. The boyfriend is signed up for gofobo.com that nets him free preview movie tickets for him and a guest before the movie's release. It's a type of marketing gimmick if they can get spread news of the movie by word of mouth in addition to trailer advertisements and movie posters but due to the nature of the theater and movie studios, they tend to issue out more tickets than viewing seats so it's first come, first serve as to if you get in none the less if you can nab up a good seat or not. As I get out of work an hour before the boyfriend, I'm elected to go to the theater and wait in line for an hour or two depending on how popular the movie is to save us a good spot in line. By the way, I'm the sane movie goer, some folks will be there four or five hours early regardless of the film and camp out with fold-up chairs.

This waiting in line gig actually doesn't bother me in the slightest. I end up using all that delightful free time to whip out my knitting and have made ample progress in my Cria cardigan and given I'm low maintenance, I don't mind sitting curled up on the floor with my knitting in the slightest and the theater keeps everything in the lobby area clean. Some folks will sit and stare or read an e-reader or book....others whip out their cell phones and start laying games. I at least feel a little bit more productive using my time to whip out a few rows that I would otherwise have trouble finishing during my 'free' time between learning guitar REALLY slowly and playing Skyrim.

In other news, today is the one year anniversary with the boyfriend. It meant going out to the Italian restaurant we went to for our first date and watching movies for the rest of the night while I let all that good food digest....slowly.

Here's tonight's movie. Rare Exports, a Christmas story. Well, a horror Christmas movie.
