Dark Shadows / Shoyo
On Wednesday I was prepared to go to the gym after work then go home to get the car to go to the game. However, at the end of the day, I found myself in Nunjo's room. I can't remember how, but we started talking about Super. I told her that my guess was Greece was going to leave the Euro which would cause the market to crash, so she should change her super strategy. She made a post-it note and we continued talking.
She told me her dad has decided to live with her, because his other sons are either married with children or don't work. She said her dad was thinking about selling his property, and told me she was thinking of setting up a trust and renting from it as tenants in common. I could tell she was seeking my advice, but I didn't say anything. I mean, hey, I know a bit about the stock market, but what the hell do I know about trusts and shit?
I started talking to her about money, using money to make money, and the difference between assets and liabilities. She seemed to understand what I was saying, but was probably bored a little. When I started talking about the fractional reserve system, she said it was enough for one lesson. I was about to leave, and then she said she and Chris were going to watch a movie and asked if I wanted to go. I asked what time it would finish, partly because I needed to be at my game by 10:40pm and partly because I didn't want to be too available.
I went to my room to check something, and then went to the toilet where I saw her in Chris' room when I came out. I said I'd come, and then they were talking about getting something to eat. So we closed up shop and then left, catching a train to the Quay. We went to buy the tickets, apparently they had some sort of voucher, and so we got three tickets to Dark Shadows.
We went looking for something to eat but couldn't find anything where we could sit down and eat without it being too expensive, so we grabbed something from Hungry Jack's. While we were waiting for our food, I said to Chris "I got the wrap because I like rap" and she was like "oh my god that was so bad, please don't repeat it" and Nunjo asked what I had said. Chris told her I listened only to Eminem.
We took our food to the cinema and then went in. There was no one to check our tickets, what a waste. I asked them what the movie was about and they said they didn't know, they only watched it because of Johnny Depp. Hmmm.
Near the beginning of the movie, there was a bit of a scary scene, and Chris shrieked and turned to me. I kinda thought "sucked in if this turns out to be a horror film" lol. But it wasn't. It was kinda funny, but kinda random too. They said afterwards that all Tim Burton films were like this.
The movie was pretty ok, better than I had expected, although I guess I didn't have much expectations since I didn't know what it was about and had never heard of it. But one thing I took away from the movie was the chick Bella Heathcote. She was beautiful! Oh my god, everytime she appeared on screen I was in love. I also thought she looked a bit like Fat Pat's old girlfriend.
I had to keep my excitement contained after the movie, but if this had been with a bunch of guys I'd be talking about how hot she is.
After the movie we sat on a bench for a bit while we looked her up on our phones, and then started walking off. My bus came so I quickly said goodbye and hopped on.
It was only halfway through the ride that I realised: my car keys were in my bag back at the office. D'oh!
So I went home in case my dad had left his keys at home. He hadn't. So I caught a taxi out to the office, costing me $15, got my keys, caught a taxi back home costing me another $15, then I drove out to the courts, arriving while the guys were warming up.
I had already said I was out, because of my knee from Sunday, but I came to do duty. Jim came up to me and shook hands, then I went to Bo to shake hands. Apparently the referee was asking him if we had paid and he wasn't believing Bo, so Bo asked me and I said yes, and the referee accepted it, and Bo said "so you believe him but not me".
Anyway, I did duty, and we played against Mangoes, an easy team. I found myself secretly hoping Bo would lose the ball each time he had it. Sometimes he did, but for the most part, he played fairly well and scored a lot of points under the basket. If it hadn't of been for Abi's hot shooting, Bo would've led the team in scoring.
We had seven playing (Abi, Bo, Nick, Jim, Alex, Alex and Mike), and one of the benches would come help me with duty. At one point it was Bo, and we didn't really talk. After the game, I saw Jim leave without so much of a word, so I was about to do the same, but Nick couldn't find his ball so I hung around a bit.
After he found it we were walking to our cars, and Bo said Nick could drive me. I said I drove, and Nick said he'd give Bo a ride or maybe I could give him a ride. I didn't say anything, and just changed the topic by asking him when I was going to get one of those t-shirts from him.
When I got home, Nick sent me a message on fb asking if everything was alright between me and Bo. I said we were cool.
