Today I drove down to Tacoma to go see a movie with![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
damienroc. On the way there, there was an accident around Federal Way. Traffic was totally stopped, so I called Jeff to let him know I was running late. The funny part was, he was looking at traffic maps and cams on the net trying to figure out what the problem was, and as far as he could tell, there *was* no problem. It was very odd. But, I was on the phone and there were all these sirens and such going by... so, yeah. It turned out there was a van which had flipped over in the middle of the highway and two lanes of I-5 were unusable.
Well, I got there like 4:30, and so Jeff and Wooko and I went over to see the 5:30 showing of Dukes of Hazzard. Wooooooo, that was a really fun movie. I think it's hilarious to watch as its rating gets lower and lower on IMDB -- it's down to 3.8 as I post this -- but, seriously, it was a fun movie. I mean, you can't go into it expecting to relive your childhood or expect a quality experience -- you have to go into it expecting a goofy bunch of crap with a lot of car chase scenes and all the other usual capers of the Dukes of Hazzard. And then you won't be disappointed.
After the movie, I called back Oren, who was down at PLU for a Go congress or something, and we went and picked him up and went to Mory's for dinner. Jeff and I just ended up hanging out and talking about baseball and junk for a while; by the time I thought of maybe annoying Wooko to play games or something, he had gone to sleep anyway. Arr.
The drive home was pretty uneventful, fortunately. I listened to three volumes of Forbidden Broadway on the way down and back today. I feel very inspired. Problem is, I really sort of wish I knew which Broadway shows are "well-known" and which aren't, so people will "get" the stuff I write? Ah, well...
