American Cinemas

Posted on 15th @ 12:08am American time.

Just back from going to the cinema. We drove for about 10-15mins to get there, its right next door to the ‘super mall’ which is also known in this household as the ‘stupid mall’

The place was HUGE!, 17 cinemas in the one building!. Cost $7 US to get in, kinda funny cause it costs $7 australian to get into the cinema in Rockhampton. Ya gotta walk up and talk to the glass though, seems every person that is serving anything over here is behind a big sheet of glass and they either have small holes so you can hear or a microphone. *shrugs* Beats getting shot though i spose.. *not that happens over here mum – im perfectly safe – no need to worry*

Walked around the mall before we went to the movies, found a shop called “nothing over $1″ which is basically jsut your typical crazy clarks in australia. Anyhow – bought 4 postcards for $1, that ended up costing $1.08 cause they add tax on after the marked price. So i guess the shop should really be called “nothing over $1 + tax”, $1 american is ok for 4 postcards though… right?

Earlier today, we went driving. Melanie has to get her fingerprints done for some american teacher thing *shrugs*, anyway, we went to this police station and stood in line behind two other people. The first chick was making a bit of a scene cause she wanted to see her sons police record, they told her that her son was 24 and therefore she could not see them. She went on to explain that her daughter works at the police station and had read his record and told her she had to go down and ask then about it *reading someones record that is not part of offical business is of cause illegal* She said she knoew about his drug use and alcohol use and his abuse but there was somthing worse. Apparently her husband had done a ciotizens arrest on their own son cause he was going nuts… woah…. anyway..
The next dude was nooking in his driving test or somthing like that – so that wasnt too eventful, the lady behind the counter knew him by first name though – so he msut of been a regular *shrugs* Only in America..

Now… melanie steps up, wanting to get her finger prints done.. and the nice lady behind the counter informs her that she has to make an appointment… yup make an appointment to get her fingerprints done – a 10min job max. *sigh* Wont be long and youll be lining up and making appointments to go to the toilet.

After that we went to frys, but i wrote about that in the previous entry. Things are a bit mixed up but ya get that.

Ok, time to go eat my ‘Tiger Tail’ which im informed is a twinkie with red raspberry stripes. Time to become a true american… *shrugs*
