Dazed and Confused

So, as I predicted there have been ridiculous amounts of people tripping out watching Alice in Wonderland in 3D. At this point I'm pretty sure stoners are the target demographic for a 3D Tim Burton movie. Also, according to an unnamed source the movie starts somewhere in the middle of the original books, but they made a new story where Alice returns to Wonderland as some kind of prophesied champion like it was some bad Narnia rip off. I might still watch it, seeing as it's free, but I'm expecting less than I did last week.

Besides watching all the baked kids come in and laughing as people pay extra for the 3D movie just to sneak into Green Zone, some kind of Matt Damon/Bourne thriller that I cannot even begin to explain after watching the trailer, I found amusement by talking to a few of my sober customers. Some girl I hadn't seen was complaining that the theater across the street owned by the same company as ours closes a few hours earlier than mine and she therefore had to pay for her movie and couldn't get passes. I simply said, "blame Marla" (who runs the other theater) and the girl laughed and agreed.

About an hour later, a 17 year old girl came in without an ID to Shutter Island, so she had to wait for her older sister to buy her ticket for her. She stayed and talked to me asking how bored I was standing doing nothing at box office, and made me jealous that as a hotel receptionist she can bring her laptop to work and go on the internet without everything being blocked. She told me about a little drama she had going on, and so I told her some of mine. She agreed that Marla coming in whenever she wanted, hanging out with my boss (aka her bff) for no reason when I was working, and then continually trying to get back with me meant my drama was supreme. She told me I would find somebody better, and although that wouldn't be difficult I told her I already had.
