You Want A Patty Boy?

I decided I'd stay in tonight and rent a movie, but I really wanted some company. Mia had made plans to go out, but luckily for me, they didn't turn out. I invited her over and an hour later, picked her up at Scarborough Town Centre. Earlier in the day, I had gone to Roger's Video to rent a movie. I had really wanted to rent "Ray", but had to settle for "Mr. 3000". On the way back to my place, Mia decided that she wanted ice cream, so we stopped off at the Hastey Market. We waited about fifteen minutes for the store clerk to return. He had locked the front entrance to the convenient store and posted a note: "Be back in 5 mins". There was another eager customer waiting for the store clerk to return. Mia and I went into Pizza Pizza to keep warm while we waited. I thought about buying a slice, and the decided I'd just put a pizza in the oven when I got home. It's not delivery. It's Delissio!! We went back outside and the store clerk had still not returned. I made eye contact with the other person who must have been waiting now for twenty minutes, and said "It's been a long five minutes hasn't it?". He replied, "Yes it has" in a voice that was so very familiar to me. I then realized something amazing, something so unexpected. It was Mr. Joe Destine, my highschool guidance counselor. We spoke for a few minutes to catch up on how our lives had been. He bought a lottery ticket, I bought a bottle of Pepsi and we said goodbye.



Mia and I went back to my place. She ate her ice cream as we waited for the pizza to bake. Twenty minutes later, we were ready to watch the movie. Appearantly, Mia really hates baseball, and took every opportunity to make it known throughout the course of the movie. I stopped the movie about half way through. I would have rather continued to watch it by myself, without enduring the agony of having to listen to another complaint. She asked what I was doing, I said I'd finish watching it later, and she insisted that she wanted to see how the movie ended. We watched the rest of the movie. I was not impressed. I have to say, the best part of the movie, would definitely have to be the outtakes reel. Make sure to rent the DVD. Still, it could very well be that environmental circumstances warped my perception of the movie. Maybe I'll watch it again tomorrow.
