My brother and I decided to go to the drive-in last night to catch a double feature. And please, stop saying "Ew!" because people go to the drive-in these days not to make out, but to actually watch the movies! Who woulda thunk it? Anyhoo, the theater we went to is the only drive-in around these parts and it actually used to be a porno drive-in back in the day. Those neighborhood kids must have had quite the childhood being able to just take a walk and see some good ol' fashioned ugly people sex going on. I don't know, the whole idea of a porno drive-in just seems a little creepy to me. The sign for the theater is still in the shape of a bent penis. Now that's just class right there. Couldn't they at least spring for a new sign when they started showing the family fare back many, many years ago? "Mom, can we go to the penis theater tonight?" "Only if you clean your room." Ugh.

Anyway, we opted for the two kid's movies for the double feature, as I hadn't seen Finding Nemo yet and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. It was pretty funny, because people were tailgating before the movie. I went to the drive-in once last year, and before that I hadn't been since I was a little kid, so I don't really know what goes on at these things. But it looked like the parking lot of a Jimmy Buffett concert. Minivans and SUVs were all lined up with people all camped out with their citronella candles and boomboxes, munching on chips. Do people really get that excited about all of this? Am I missing out on some big underground phenomenon? The strangest part of the whole night had to be the kids playing up in front of the screen before the show. At first I thought everything was normal, because I saw a frisbee being tossed around. However, a few minutes later I see some girl playing with a hoop and a stick. She was actually rolling the hoop while tapping the top with a stick. WTF? When did it become 1934 all of a sudden? The parents weren't in Amish dress, so I know they don't have to make their own toys or anything like that. Seriously, where do you even get a wooden hoop to play with? Did someone whittle it? Did she steal it from her sister's petticoat? Is it really actually 'fun' to chase a rolling hoop with a stick? How long can that pleasure actually last? Did the child actually say at some point when told she was going to the drive-in, "Hold on, let me just grab my hoop and stick! Can't leave home without it!" After seeing the hoop action, I thought at any moment we were going to be treated to a rousing game of 'Kick the Can.' Were these not kids but really the old people from Twilight Zone: The Movie? I just don't get it. How do kids even know about the hoop and the stick? How do I know about it??? Am I missing out on yet another underground phenomenon? Dammit!

Celebrity Boyfriend of the Day: Owen Wilson
Aww, I love Owen. Not only is he adorable but he is also ridiculously funny and smart. Anyone who can co-write movies like Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums and then goof around in a bathtub with Jackie Chan ranks pretty high in my book. Don't even get me started on Hansel.... Awww!
