...and I watcheth. Friday night was such a blast. First Jake and I met Pattie for dinner. It was good to start going out with friends again as a couple. We sat around talking about everything and got caught up on the latest in our lives. Pattie, who is awesome, was helping out a little girl with Ovarian Cancer through the Make a Wish Foundation. She's always doing such wonderful things.

After dinner we headed over to the Arclight Cinema for movie time. The one thing I will never understand is the people who drive out here. It's Friday night and the minute we pull in to park there's a line. Nothing new about that. Meanwhile some moron decides to honk their horn. Fifty billion cars in a line and somehow they think being a major douchebag will get everyone to move. As if that horn will click on a little light and people will go "Oh yeah! We need to move!" and fifty billion open parking spaces will be filled. My only wish is that he's fifty billion and ONE.

We met up with some of Jake's friends beforehand and chatted in the entryway. They were all so nice. I watched and smiled while Jake and his friends geeked-out about the movie and everything relating to it. One lady's boyfriend asked me 'are you an avid movie geek or like me?' I told him I was like him, along for the wonderful ride. We laughed and then started our way into the theater. Unfortunately we weren't able to get tickets next to them. Jake and I sat down just as a couple of guys walked by. They looked at the group by us and said some snarky comment about fanboys. Jake make a snarky remark about them and I just sat there... trying to blend into the chair.

Watchmen was awesome. Jake was wonderful about the 'don't look' parts. He'd tell me when to look away and when to look again. Yes, I am a total pussy. It's just good to have someone who understands that and supports me on it. *smiles* I never read the graphic novel, although I am curious about it now. I loved the characters, loved the costumes, loved the grittiness of the movie. The movie pace never slowed and each character left me wanting to know a little more. The movie ended and all I could think was, "I cannot WAIT to get this on DVD."

This weekend Jake and I spent trying to fight a head cold, so we stayed in doors for the most part. We also found what is going to be the hardest part of our relationship to work on: Who gets to play on the XBox 360. Right now we're both playing Fable 2, which is awesome. He's farther along in the game so I've been getting some great tips. I played with a friend who already beat the game and was able to tell Jake about some awesome extras. We work so well together. :p
