Another Sweet Surprise

Yay! I'm finally going to go!

I came home from work this afternoon to find a silver envelope on my laptop keyboard. The writing on it looked suspiciously familiar...

Coraline 4 '2', it said, in silver ink.

I ripped open the envelope to find a "Cineplex Night Out" coupon inside. (You know, the one worth 2 admission tickets, 2 soft drinks, and popcorn...)

Somebody knows I really, really want to see that film...

And, as if the tickets weren't surprise enough, that somebody is actually willing to go with me! Although - he happened to mention when I phoned him to give him a hug through the wire - he's also willing (maybe more than willing) to let me take my daughter, "if she really wants to go" with me.

I think she does.

And I think he's happy about that!

Uh... maybe not today

I got the sudden and brilliant idea to take some me time and go see Coraline today.

But then I re-considered: it's Valentine's Day and it plainly wouldn't be cool to step out without my hubby. So I've decided to go some time during the week. I just really must see it in 3D before the Jonas Brothers and mobs of screaming girls take over every theatre in the city!

Hope you're having a happy Valentine's Day and are eating lots of chocolate! I'm about to indulge in some more myself... before I go see a movie BOTH of us want to watch ;)

I just spent another good chunk of time at www.coraline.com
Love the book and the site! I'm sure the movie's pretty amazing, too, especially when I consider the fact that some of my friends have reported that it's "weird", "strange", and "odd". (My kind of film!)

They obviously haven't read much Neil Gaiman :) I think he's brilliant!
