Last night my old roommate James and I went over to Meagan's to watch a movie on the side of the house. They invited a bunch of other people over to watch it too. I helped her dad set it up with some really nice equipment - an audio mixer for two large speakers, the Clearplay box for our rated R movie, 28 Days Later, and the projector. The grass was kinda wet so we had to lay down a tarp for the blankets we laid down. It is getting increasingly cold at nights, and I think last night was the coldest since spring. Which is nice I guess, though I love warm nights. Warm nights remind me it's still summer, but the summer is over, and fall is here. But what a summer this was, I'll write a summary of it sometime and if you readers are lucky enough it will be posted here, but don't hold your breaths, it won't be soon lol.
I set the Clearplay's settings on low for violence and bloodshed and we still barely had a zombie movie to watch. If we had left the settings at full strength the movie would be about 4 people wandering around, when they meet an army platoon, and then run away from them. I figured leaving the vulgarity setting at full strength wouldn't be a bad thing... only they just mute the movie at a curse, so during some intense scenes, the audio would just go blank for several seconds. It was a pretty terrible movie on clearplay, everyone agreed.
Then we broke down the gear and got some Wendy's... I almost got my order first time through, which isn't bad considering how OFTEN I get my order messed up here. It's actually really ridiculous how bad the employee's are at getting orders right. I understand not being able to understand English and needing to clarify... but when you have a ticket with a readout of exactly what the person orders you know there are supposed to be so many hamburgers, and so many fries... and try ordering something without mayonnaise or onions lol. If you order two chicken sandwiches one without mayo you are screwed. You will invariably get two chicken sandwiches without mayo or they'll ignore the instruction and you'll get two normal ones. I could go on and on about this, it's just ridiculous the frequency that this happens I'm fascinated by what the actual cause of this bad service is lol.
It was a fun night, not for James though, he was freezing the entire movie and I guess fell asleep as well. I think I prefer no more than 4 or 5 people watching a movie too, the group divides too easily past 5 people and then 2 groups are hanging out and the idea of getting a big group together is lost. Unless everyone knows everyone else I guess. But whatever, it was still fun to do it.
Oh, side note, I bought a black Love Sack for 80 bucks... it's dangerously comfortable...
