I have a meeting on Monday afternoon. I got a GPS last week but I haven’t taken it out of its packaging yet. I decide to install it before the meeting even though I sort of know my way there. I take a good long look at the directions after opening the packaging with a pair of kitchen scissors but then I neglect to bring the directions down to the garage with me. I make a couple critical putting-the-thing-together errors as I’m sitting in the front seat of my car in the darkened parking garage, and watch a nice plenty-of-time-to-get-there melt away as I fiddle with the various suction cups and adhesives. Finally it’s together and mounted on the windshield. I turn it on. It says it needs a clear view of open sky to start working. I guess in that way it’s a lot like an old ranch-hand.
Every day I spent not listening to “Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ” by Bruce Springsteen was a wasted day. Sometimes you are driving down a sunny street lined with palm trees underneath a perfectly blue sky and you have early Springsteen on your car stereo and it feels pretty good. In this moment, you feel less like Woody Allen in the L.A. scenes in “Annie Hall” and more like Diane Keaton in the L.A. scenes in “Annie Hall.” Like, blissed-out and carefree and almost certainly fucking Paul Simon.
After the meeting, I give my valet ticket to the guy, but my car never comes. Greg and I stand in front of the building for a long time. Greg asks the guy about my car. He assures Greg it’s coming right up. I keep looking at the corner the car is going to come around. Waiting for your car to come out of valet is like you’re picking yourself up from school: is that me? No, that’s not me. Dammit, me.
Thanks to Drew of Motion/Captured we get to go see “Transformers 2” in IMAX that night. The theater’s kind of far from our neighborhood and traffic is, you know, rush hour traffic, but we start out with that in mind and get there with a little time to spare and I’m proud of us. I am starving but there is a Rubio’s in this mall, across from the movie theater. Rubio’s was a good place to get a big cheap soda to bring into the movie theater with you when I was in high school. Its presence here bodes well for this being a movie-going experience. As in, an experience in which I see a movie.
Rubio’s is advertising something called the All-American Taco, which from the vinyl sticker on the door appears to be a hamburger patty inside a soft taco shell, with cheese and burger fixin’s. I don’t order it. I am standing waiting for my order when a middle-aged guy comes up and puts his tray down on the counter. He says to the two men behind the register, “Guys, is this what I ordered?” in a fatherly, disappointed tone which I can imagine him using to half-motivate a showroom full of furniture salesman. Apparently he has ordered the All-American Taco and he is not sure the item in front of him is the All-American Taco. One employee looks at it and says that that’s what it is. The man returns to his seat.
Settled into the movie theater, everyone, including me, is fooling around with their phone. Two minutes before the movie starts the remaining empty seats are filled in by kids and their families, I guess recruited from the mall outside. I am excited for IMAX because everything is better when it’s loud. No fooling.
The movie starts. It's very long. It contains the words “Merge the matrix with his spark,” which is how I’m going to refer from the sex act from now on.
It is kind of foggy when we drive home. We drive past lots of fancy office buildings that are empty and for sale.
God there was some great technobabble in that movie. One in particular really stuck with me: "quantum" something.
...I guess it didn't stick with me.
Posted by: BabylonianSo you ended up making it to the meeting on time? I thought the first paragraph was getting us all set up for a harrowing race to the meeting.
Posted by: BHarmzI liked how they totally glossed over the fact that Shia didn't really resist the decepticon hot chick robot. 'Merge the Matrix" was probably the most memorable line though
Posted by: JeromeThe All-American Taco!
it's like a Mexican/American revolution inside my mouth!
Rubio's is delicous though
