tina tuesday with a twist

 

This time, it wasn't AMC hosting my movie-viewing.

It was NCG Cinema.

They promised me an instant 300 points for watching Jason Statham's latest, "Shelter", so that's where I was earlier.

Of course, the title made me think of the missed Florida trip with cuzn Jeff a ouple of years ago.

So, why not go see it for free with my A*List?

Because I knew I would be at this cinema for "Anyone But You" at 4:30 PM, so Carolyn and I could continue our fun with the Rom-Com Film Fest!

If I was already there, then I wouldn't let the chilly weather stop me.

That's the way to do it, right? 

(smile!) 

What a great movie combo that truly was, too!

"Shelter" had been set in cold climes, with everyone bundled up, but the Glen Powell movie had him butt-naked several times and nearly so several more, there at the tropical beach resort.

Oh, yeah, that got the blood running in my veins!

In fact, both of us were pretty warmed up by the end, so off we went to dinner, with mi amiga choosing OD Crab House again.

I had the platter with eight of those great shrimp and three very good chicken fingers, taking half home.

Carolyn had the same as last time, but added a side of grilled onions and zucchini.

Those were so good!!!

Next time, I plan to get the grilled shirmp appetizer and that veggie dish - oh, yeah!

Then, as I dropped her back at her car, she gave me two boxes of cereal and a bag of cookies, courtesy of her housemate Bill.

I gave her something, too: the collage of photos Hai Dang made for me back in 2014, from our trip to Jacksonville and other locales.

I know she sees him from time to time.

Well, so do I, but here's the difference: the barefoot hobo hasn't spoken to me in well over a decade.

No need for that collage to be on my hall wall.

Good to have that gone! 

I kept the frame, of course.

Now, let me see if I can find that 'serenity song' that everyone was singing at the end of the beach movie... 

"Unwritten", wasn't it?

(smile!)
