One of the beautiful things about living in Santa Barbara is that LA is a short 2 hour drive away (when there is no trafic whatsoever-- usually takes twice the time, but that's not the point). So if one wanted to, say, see the new Harry Potter movie in Hollywood, it's no real big.
OK, maybe it is big. Really big. IMAX screen as big as a football field big. And when it comes to movies, big = super cool.
So, on Thursday Charles and I drove over to Universal City in Hollywood to watch Order of the Pheonix at the 3D IMAX theatre. Once we got there, we saw security people terring down the red carpet for another movie's premier. There were flashy lights and fun stores and LOADS of people. We went to a cute little toy store and I got myself a Harry Potter lunch box. Oh yeah, I'm cool.
We met Charles family, then went into the theater. Got our 3D glasses, then bought all the movie snacks we could afford. I must say the movie was amazing. I think they picked out the best elements to emphasize for the movie-- and left the fluff out. So one can condence 1000+ pages into a meer 2 hours. The whole scene when all the students go to the ministry of magic to find Harry's orb thing to the end of the battle there was in 3D. VERY cool. I enjoyed it. There was lot of cheering. Every time Dumbledore appeared in the movie a bunch of people cheered :-) But, I have to admit, the 3rd movie is still my favorite.
Work is going well. I'm mostly done with training and will start working with customers soon. That will sure beat hiding in the back room doing training on the computer. I like all my coworkers. They're all pretty cool and nice.
Oh, and I got my first paycheck. That makes everything worth it!
