The Prince and Me
Yesterday was my day off and I went to the cheap matinee and watched ‘The Prince and Me.” I’m not ashamed because the prince was pretty darn cute and I had a total bonding thing going on with a theater full of girls of all ages. There were no guys or men in the theater! Mostly it was 9-14 year old girls but also there was: Me, rockin’ the mid 20’s; An overweight lady of indeterminate age with a bad cough (which sounded really sexy when the prince was on); A nice hispanic lady around 30 that was worried she was walking into the “kid show”; A pair of 40-ish women that laughed at some grown-up parts. Of course, it was predictable and it’s not going to win any Oscars but it was charming girly fun. At one cheesy point the girl was showing the prince how to use a meat slicer with slow, rhythmic back and forth movements and one of the girls sitting next to me said in a disbelieving voice, “A meat slicer?” The meat slicing was supposed to be all hot and not even the young girls could suspend the reality of having to slice cheap gelatinous turkey long enough to buy the sexiness of it. I tried to find a picture of the prince on IMDB but there isn’t one:( Ah, well. This is so funny but I subscribe to Bon Appetit magazine and this month is a special collectors edition featuring Scotland. The last page of the magazine always has an interview with a famous-type person and I thought for sure it was going to be Sir Sean Connery but, no, it was Dougray Scott! I was suprised to find out that he was from Scotland and I told Devin that–5 times! He is so sick of hearing about Dougray Scott! He should be happy that I still like the tall, dark , and handsome ones — like him.
Tonight we’re going to go to Kill Bill Volume 2 tonight with Jenn, Les, John, and Zazil. I can’t wait. I liked the first one a lot and I just hope that tonight we don’t end up sitting next to anyone smelly or have some jerks kicking the back of my seat:(
