Moonlight (no, not Twilight)

My adventurous day with Mr. Scotland (aka Andy).

After my walk through the cemetary...nice...I met up with my new pal, Andy. You may remember him from such films as:

"Andy does Dallas",
"Lord of the Kilts"
And if none of those are memorable enough, you must remember, "The Andy Truman Show"

Anyway. We met up in Central and had a lovely day of doing Plan B. What was Plan B, you ask, well -- we still don't know.

I met Andy back at the IEP Christmas Party a few nights ago. We talked about going out, and being the gentlelady that I am, I told him to surprise me. The poor guy had been in Sydney for 3 days and I expected him to know everything to do?! Yes. That's right.

Andy had planned an awesome day in the heart of Sydney and, of course, the plans failed miserably. Not because of poor preparation, because of rain. Yes. We all know and love the rain we've been having off and on lately. It makes no sense. Weather, stick to the plan and get on with it, seriously.

So. After stopping at Woolworth's, the local grocery store here (which I will not mention why that was the first stop, however it involved money and charities...for a specific unnamed reason), we decided to go to the IMAX theatre -- the BIGGEST in the world. IN. THE. WORLD. We bought our tickets for the 4pm showing of, "Fly me to the Moon -- 3-D" Oh yeah. 3-D. Whoo!

Since we had about an hour to kill, we found a lovely place that had happy hour from 3-6pm. People here in Australia are weird and I guess the typical 5-7 just doesn't work for them. $5 pizzas anyone? 1/2 price drinks? Yes, please.

After a few drinks and some grub, we mosied on over to the IMAX where I met a lovely American man with his two children. Did I mention he's a Florida native? Oh, and he graduated from U of F? Go Gators. And he was envious that I was BORN in Gainesville. Kinda creepy, but nice guy.

Right. 3-D. This is what you get. Don't feel jealous.

The movie was cute. It was about flies (yes, like the household fly) who snuck onto the space shuttle and were the first flies to visit the moon. Oh! And the movie kept saying how awesome America is. Hahaha, no lie. Here's a line, "After all, those flies are American flies."

After that, Andy had a Plan C. Or maybe it was originally part of Plan A. No one can be sure. But, boy, did he deliver. Where'd we go?

The Moonlight Cinemas.

How awesome? An outside theatre during the Summer. It was way freakin cool. We watched the Painted Veil -- it was okay, but the whole atmosphere of being outside, watching the big screen, now that was pimp.

Guess what's playing January 30th?

Guess who'll be there.
'Nuff said. That was my Moonlight! Can't wait for another adventure out on the town!

And btw. Merry Christmas Everyone. I'm really trying not to think about it. It hurts me to be away from my family. Love you all -- especially those who actually keep up with this. Did I just hear an echo? Hello? Helllllooo??? Anyone???

That's what I thought.
