Celebrating Ariana being done with comps

Ariana had her comps exam yesterday (well on Fri. Feb 2nd). So while she was taking her test, I was actually with her godmother in the ER (don’t worry, she’s okay). Thankfully we weren’t in the ER long (only about 3 hours), and we actually made it out before Ariana got out of her exam.

After Ariana was done with the comps, she went out with some friends to grab something to eat and go to the movies to celebrate being done from all their studying. But we waited til today (Saturday), to celebrate on our own.

We had initially thought of maybe going to Red Rock West (on James and Phil’s request) but Ariana was too exhausted to do any big crazy drinking til late, so we decided to something more low-key. We called up a bunch of the crew to do Pizza Hut and the movies. We initially thought of seeing Dreamgirls (b/c Ariana had been wanting to see it), but decided to see Smoking Aces instead.

We wound up having a small group, but that was mostly b/c it was very last minute, but we had a great time. I tried Meat Lover’s Pizza for the first time at Pizza Hut, and I definitely enjoyed it. As for the movie, it was a bit confusing (they throw a LOT of information at you in a short amount of time), but after discussing the movie afterwards with everyone, it got pieced together for us.

But when we got out from the movie it was still early and our minds were fried so we decided to sneak into a mindless movie. So Jordan checked the movie listings and found that Epic Movie was starting in about 15 minutes. But as we were heading into the back of the theater to see it, we passed by a theater showing Catch & Release. That was actually the movie Ariana went with her friends to see the day before after exam, and she said it was funny, and James and Maryann were interested in it as well. So even though Jordan and I would have preferred Epic Movie, we figured we’d see Catch & Release anyways.

And wow... I think a mindless movie like Epic Movie would have made more sense than Catch & Release did. It was just such a terrible movie! Ariana felt bad, b/c she had recomended it, but I just joked that she was just so fried after her comps exam that she would have liked anything. But even though the movie sucked, it was still amusing b/c me and James kept cracking jokes through the whole movie. We had each other busting out laughing at multiple points throughout the movie, so that made it worth it in the end.
