So, Thursday.
Bodeen mentioned that they were doing the grand opening of the rebuilt Roseville Galleria and they would be handing out gift certificates Thursday morning (you could stand in line starting at 6am and they would start handing them out at 8). So Elizabeth, Bodeen and I were standing in line at the Galleria at 6:15am (well, I managed to make it there after an unscheduled side trip to Loomis...I'm really not that much of a morning person).
And TV cameras start showing up. I don't start work until 10 on Thursdays, but Bodeen & Elizabeth were supposed to be at a HR seminar starting at 8:30. So they were hiding from the cameras and the overly-perky reporters asking everyone, "So why are you up this early??"
So we finally get our scratch-off cards, and I got a $25 gift card to The Children's Place. Perfect, I think, I'll get something for my 2-year-old niece, Ann. Then I look at the card again. "Only good Thursday, November 13," it says. So I turn to Bodeen & Elizabeth: "It's only good today?" They nod. So I arrange to meet them back at the mall after I get off work at 7. So I work all day, and then go back to meet them at the mall at about 7:45. We have dinner at Il Fornaio (mmmmmpizza) and then have to sprint to get to the store before it closes. But I got Ann the cutest outfit!
My feet were killing me when I got home.
Today we went to see Quantum of Solace. My wanting to go was about 65% the movie and 35% the new Star Trek trailer that was supposed to be shown before it. Yeah, no Star Trek trailer. I watched one of the YouTube bootlegs, but I will be thoroughly unsatisfied until the HD trailer hits the intertubes tomorrow. *pout*
So, yeah. Bond. It was very "eh". I'm not really sure what happened, except that Daniel Craig was hot and Judi Dench rules as M. Which, really, is all you need, I guess.
