WWMacGD

Q and I stopped at World Market to pick up some snacks on the way to see a movie. Being that it was a Drive-In theatre, snacks included wine and food that complements wine. This was an impulse trip to the Drive-In, so we also picked up a corkscrew to ease the opening process.

We settled into our spot and started getting comfortable. I reclined my seat a bit and used a roll of papertowel as a pillow.


The sun was setting and it was a good time to dig into the first bottle of wine.



UH OH. No glasses. It was then we asked ourselves, WWMacGD (what would MacGyver do)?

In a lightning fast move, Queenie handed me the tools as I called them out.

Empty water bottle.

Corkscrew.

Towel to dab my brow.

In no time I was tearing into the plastic creating a vessel for to partake in my drink.



I produced two lovely glasses.



We enjoyed every sip of that bottle.


We usually have some alcohol during the first movie and then eat some snacks and watch the second movie. You see there are 3 movies back to back when you go to the Drive –In. The first begins at dusk which was around 10pm that night. The second starts around midnight.

Queenie and I fell asleep around midnight.

Queenie and I awoke to watch the last five minutes of the second movie.

Queenie and I left after the second movie.

Queenie and I are getting old.

The time that I admitted I will probably enjoy watching a film about a little wizard and his school chums.

Today is the first of two significant summertime events for Queenie. It is the day Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix opens in theatres (the second event being the last H.P. book).

This doesn’t mean too much to me of course. You see, I am one of the few souls that didn’t get hooked into J.K. Rowling’s little world of wizardry and lore. I have been affected however. I have hardly been able to chat with Q since her nose has been buried in various Harry Potter books. Books she has read 2 or 3 times already. It seems she is cramming for the movies much like she would if she was prepping for the SATs and she is taking me along for the ride. I have learned terms like ‘muggle’ and ‘pollyjuice potion’. I am prepared for Harry’s godfather to die in this movie. I know that Harry gets his first kiss in this movie. I know that Harry is 15 in this movie because it is the 5th movie and Harry was 11 in the first. I am schooled and I will be seeing this movie, probably tonight. Probably in 3D Imax.

Queenie nearly convinced me to see this movie at 6 am today. SIX… A… M… But, this muggle convinced Q to stay in her warm safe bed. Expecto Slumborum!

Oh Q. I will see this film and I will probably enjoy it.

Is it wrong that I may be thinking about this instead?
