My Young Apprentice (usually MYA here, my mentee) and I went out tonight for her birthday (she's now 19) - Imperial Buffet in Plainville (they love us there, we're good luck in India, I hear and maybe in all of Asia). Then to Target (she burned part of a gift card on clearance jeans). Then to see 27 Dresses with Katherine Heigl. We both decided we wanted to get married (she's got a better shot at it than I do, but it's complicated no matter how you slice it)
I kind of felt bad walking past the theater sign of Oscar nominated films I would like to see, but have not (because, that would involve actually going to a cineplex). We have this sort of negative function thing going with theaters - we go to Real Art Ways cinema a lot. The slightly more mainstream Cinestudio a bit less. Almost commercial Cinema City occasionally. And the Bow Tie cinema's right down the road on New Park maybe twice a year.
But, it was MYA's birthday, so we went to a movie she wanted. It was a nice little movie. If only life worked out in that sort of happily ever after way - she could use a happy ending.
