Only an ocean away

So far during the holidays, have I done anything fruitful or anything remotely useful for my future endeavours in this conflict riddled world? Well, except splurge a lot of money on some Haagen Dasze (how do you spell it?) and Dome during my not-so-recent outing, no.

The outing on Thursday with KV and friends was quite crazy. Watched 2 movies, imagine. I know its no big deal to you movie buffs out there, but it is one helluva big deal for me. Of course, that kind of stupid behaviour (watching 2 movies in a row) has some serious repercussions.

1. Popcorn (medium) eaten during the first movie fermented realllllllyyyy badly. As result, my semi-frozen-and-frostbitten-fingers were ridiculously sticky with caramel (not that there was much to begin with anyway, they were stingy on the caramel..) were disgusting. The caramel was stuck in clumps and were not evenly distributed. Which made the popcorn ridiculously disgusting to eat. Rubbish, and they say do not bring outside food, it's as if their food is any better either.

2. Red eyes accumulated from yesterday's late night was worsened. I looked like I had conjunctivitis and sounded to some people like I was cranky and mean. No comment.

Out of the whole outing, I derived some life lessons.
When you have a half shut eye due to some inconvenience (like banging your eye against a door corner in the middle of the night), try not to piss off other people. Or they will do their very best (even if it kills them) to permanently shut that particular eye and perhaps graduate and shut the other one too.

Quick comebacks never hurt anyone, you say. Hurt comes quicker than a comeback, I'll say. The phrase "knock yourself out" redefined, literally.
