Unplanned Fun
Sometimes you really want to read Pride and Prejudice, but when you go to find the book you realize that you somehow ended up with 2 copies of Persuasion and no copies of Pride and Prejudice. There's an easy way to solve this, if only you hadn't taken your friend to the airport and it's now after 9pm. But wait! The internet tells you that the local Barnes and Noble is open until 10pm on Friday night. A trip to the bookstore? That sounds like fun. Your roommates come along, too. As you're waiting at the light to turn into the mall, you read the movie marquee for the small theater there. The A-Team is showing now? That's that movie the guy you play D&D with has been waiting to see for ages. He talks about every new trailer that comes out. And you're pretty sure you saw that Liam Neeson is in it, so it can't be all bad. Your roommate with the smart phone discovers a showing at 10:20. Perfect. You hit the bookstore to pick up Pride and Prejudice and a McKillip you haven't read, and then get your tickets. This allows you to be quite possibly the only person ever to wait in line for The A-Team while reading Jane Austen. After a couple hours of one of the most entertaining movies about planning that you've ever seen, it's time to finally go curl up with that book like you've been wanting to all day.
