why i am fucking pissed
so tuesday, the girl and i decide we want to go to watchmen on IMAX for wednesday date night. weds is date night because that's the night Landon goes to his dad's. So i buy the tix on Fandango and we're all set.
so wednesday, we get to the theatre, 5 mins before showtime because dallas traffic sucks, and when i get to the box office, they do not have tix for me. my card doesn't come up, can't find my confirmation number in the email, nothing. i have to buy 2 more tix, the manager gives me the number to fandango to settle the issue. i try to call fandango before the movie starts, they say they can't resolve it, and pass me along to cinemark corporate, who is closed. bah. i go back, watch the movie. we saw about an hour of the film, we were enjoying it. courtney gets a 911 text from her mom and it's about Landon. she goes out quickly and calls.. i get up to see what it was about and when i find her in the lobby she's shaking and crying - oh shit - so i run back into the theatre and stumble all over everybody to get our shit. i don't know what's going on and assuming the worse. what happened was Landon was left at school, his dad didn't pick him up. Court's "in case of emergency call-friend" was reached and he was picked up at 7:45. courtney's pissed and crying and she's trying to get ahold of her ex, who isn't answering. i told her that something probably happened to him (mainly due to the horrible storm, maybe he had gotten into a wreck), so she calls his brother, who tells her that scott is on vacation, left for colorado today! apparently he told her a few weeks ago. but no follow up. wed is always his day with landon, and not even a reminder.
and he called her a dumb fucking cunt on her voice mail. clinch.
anyway, we picked landon up. she was much more traumatized than he was, which is understandable. he's 7.
so THURS, i call fandango again and we figure out that the reason why there were no tix waiting for us on WED is because i bought them for TUESDAY!!! 60 bucks for a third of an IMAX flick. woo!
that is why i'm fucking pissed.
