Last Night
Last night was interesting. It started off well, then around midnight started a rapid plunge into a more "we are gonna die" feeling.After Kate, Kiyomi and I got out of "White Christmas" (damn I love that movie!) It was off to St. Mark's for a little pick me up, coffee and cheesecake hoorah! At some point we decided that we should go to Zoolights, keeping with our christmas theme. Unfortunatly, everyone and their mother was at zoolights last night. I don't think there was a single parking place left at the zoo when we got there, and judging by the line of cars waiting to get in, there probably wouldn't be for some time. So it was off to Barnes & Nobles and the 24 hour Starbucks.
We killed over an hour in the childrens section, then hit teen inspiration, followed by a quick loop through cooking, fiction, mystery and crafts before scaning the calenders and sale items and finally setteling in the teen angst and travel sections. That was another hour right there. Then humor, where we had an awkward conversation with kids we went to high school with, before it was time for more coffee.
Sitting out front with our coffee, Kiyomi starts making fun of people right next to them. "Hipsters," Jocks, America in front of the paramedics, no one is safe.This continues when we pick up Dave and his friends at the mall and take a massive detour trying to take the one girl home.
We eventually make it to my house where we meet up with Dani and Rach before walking down the street for the Midnight movie Lollipop Girls In Hard Candy aka vintage 3D Porn. A few things I would like to point out right here, I think porn is completely rediculous. I really just don't understand the appeal, but vintage 3D? How often does that come up? We figured it would be worth a laugh or two. Too bad it was the lamest thing I have ever seen! Nothing made sense! I know I know, you don't go to a porno for the story, but that is where the problem came in. They tried to give it a story with different plots going on and comic relief and car chases (horrible idea in 3D let me tell you) and they failed with flying colors. But the real problem was the 3D filming. I have never been so motion sick in my entire life. I couldn't watch the last 15-20 minutes. Walking down the street afterwards I though I was going to be sick. Kiyomi thought it was funny to shake me a bit, I don't think she knows just how close I came to throwing up on her.
Then the real fun came, I gave Kate a ride home. Just in time for all the bars and clubs to close. Not having lived there in a while, I forgot how many clubs and bars there are on 11th between Lincoln and Broadway. We get to Broadway and find tons of emergency vehicles and people being hauled away on strechers. The thing is, I didn't see any wrecked cars. Maybe because I was trying to drive and avoid drunk pedestrians walking out into the middle of a major street. But it looked like someone had plowed through a group of pedestrians.
So now we are on Broadway, there are around 200 people standing on the sidewalk outside a club spilling into the street. No one is paying attention to cars, Denver Health is there hauling people away to the drunk tank which makes me feel really good. Finally we get over to Bannock trying to get back over to 11th, one of the few streets that goes all the way throught to Speer because of all the construction down that way. By this point I am not only motion sick from the movie, but wicked nervous. Speer isn't much better. In fact my heart may have very well stopped for a brief moment when a guy next to me suddenly stops and goes flying across two lanes of traffic narrowly avoiding me as I swerve into the left lane trying to get away from him. The way back from Kate's wasn't much better. Sure for once I didn't feel nurvous driving next to a cop, but then he turned and a guy started tailgating me.
By the time I got home I was deathly white and a wreck.
