Wednes-Day 98

So, Last night after my blog i realized that i had to go hometeaching at 6:30, so i left immediately (giving me 2 hours or so) to take pictures in and around the Malden area. i saw that there was an Reservoir or something not too far away from Neil's house so i decided that was where i wanted to head. Well needless to say... it was dark. too dark to take pictures like crazy like i wanted so i decided that i would only try a couple night time shots. and then stopped off the side of a highway on some rock facings and read over my hometeaching message. I finished reading and realized i was insanely hungry. so (still being incredibly too early for Hometeaching) i walked back in toward Malden/Oak Grove to find something to eat. At this time Emallie had txt me back(cuz she lives near there so i wanted to see if we could hang out) and said she wasnt doing anything at all tonight(yesterday) and that if i was hungry i should go over and have some food she was making spaghetti! so i told her i'd be over after i was done hometeaching. and headed toward Neil's place early hoping i could give him a call and he'd be okay with me going early . well he wasnt home yet, but almost. so i sat down with him and we chit chatted a bit, he is working at office max now and so was giving me the latest gossip and stuff (:P) and then i shared the lesson. Ah! I just love when i get actively involved with hometeaching. i never really got excited about it till i came out here. and now i have such a strong testimony of hometeaching and hometeachers. man! So then i left and called Emallie and she told me she'd pick me up from the Malden center stop. which was the next one down. She had some delicious spaghetti waiting for me. and then we sat with Jen her sister and watched some medicla mysteries. Decided somehow that we should just rent a movie and some snacks and headed out to Hollywood. We arrived at Hollywood and began searching for something good that wasn't Rated "R" that neither of us had seen. we almost went with journey to the center of the earth when i stated. how bout we watch a sequence movie. like final destination, or ocean's . and we agreed that it'd be cool but what to see? i noticed a couple out of the corner of my eye grab a DarkKnight movie. and Emallie and I eventually made our way down there and saw that someone had left some of the other Batman movies there also. we quickly determined that we would have a batman marathon with a brief conversation that went something like this "wait. no. can we?" uh chyeah why not?" "you dont work?" "nah" "all night" "for shizzle" "lets do it" haha and so we grabbed each of the copies we saw and remembered we needed. and then inquired the cashier lady named ... Donna. which order they went in. and feeling like we were missing one i said something about batman forever. but they sent me to the wall. and we were actually missing the first one. just "Batman" (even tho this whole time we were missing Batman forever also) so we went across the street to stop and shop and bought some popcorn and some oreos and headed back to the house. Popped in "Batman" at exactly 9:53pm and our marathon began. we ate so much popcorn in the first movie, and the second one "Batman Returns" both dating early 90's (1989 and 1992 to be exact) and the technology manifested itself in that manner. we were getting pretty tired but kept each other awake enough to realize shortly after starting our Third movie "Batman and Robin" that we were missing one. so we had to waste some time trying to find it online somewhere to watch "Batman Forever" without dowloading it. and well... couldnt find one. so we downloaded it. and watched it after "Batman and Robin" By now its early morning. two movies left. and we are semi struggling to stay awake. but we watched the last two "Batman Begins" and then "Dark Knight" and had breakfast inbetween, finally finished at exactly 1:05pm ... so our marathon with a short search for the missing movie break and short breakfast break/ nap all lasted about 14 hours and 12 minutes give or take. haha it was great fun. i loved seeing the evolution of the Batman and spending time with a friend before i leave for home. -- i got my lens today. and i love it! i can't wait to get to try it out . i kinda wish i had a digital camera . but oh well. uh. and now i'm waiting for Kristal to let me know if we are going to go iceskating tonight or tomorrow or what. and for institute to start at 7. today it got past 64 degrees! and when i was walking home it was raining ah i love it!
