In the lead up.

as i sip this black tea, and type one handed on the Mac (i heart Mac), reflection of the day is called upon.
drat. i curse myself for pressing the enter/return button twice, as i believe i posted a blank entry, because that thing that tells you in big bright words "Your post is succesful!" or something like that popped up. pops up. so i hastily pressed the "edit blog" in horror, panicking at my stupidity.
and i do realise my grammar is not up to scratch right now, changing from past tense, to present tense, to future tense (right?). once again, the word vomit is just coming up without thought. word vomit is one of my talents it seems.
i have put down the black tea. it's getting annoying, typing one handed.
In the lead up to the big count down of NY (New Years, not New York, though i wish it were), i find myself gazing out to fairy light infested homes, and listening to the drunken yells of joy from neighbouring homes. it's all so lovely. and i found myself thinking "good grief, people put so much effort to put up christmas lights, when they know that they have to take them back down." i find it rather amusing. i saw one house that had propped on their roof "HAPPY NEW Y AR" in lights. i wonder if they've realised yet that the "E" isn't working.
but anyway. that wasn't leading anywhere, i just felt like putting it in.
today, for the first time in my memorable 17 years on this earth, i entered the magical world of the drive-in in all it's glory. from the Luna Cafe (get your munchies!) i purchased what i knew i would regret later that night a probable salmonella infested Chicken burger, deep-fried-in-week-old-oil Chips and a pepsi combo meal. i gave that pepsi to my cousin, because being the nice person i am, i thought it safe to give her the only good thing out of the meal. turned out the pepsi was flat. the movie wasn't bad, though as we had parked next to a family of five children and also a drunken group of teens, it could have been better. then again, could have been worse. at least my stomach had the courtesy of holding down the burger until i had gotten home.
one thing that i took note of about the drive-in was the advertisement for the Luna Cafe. you know how in franchise ads for Hungry Jacks, McDonalds, KFC and all that, the burgers and the meals all look so good? well the images for the Luna Cafe, were not in any way desirable for consumption. they actually, did not put any effort into that ad. that's what i liked about it. it was something a nine year old could have put together. in one bit, they advertised that you could buy a good cup of tea or coffee from them...they advertised that tea or coffee in styrofoam cups. no effort in presentation. god, i loved it.
i hope that one day, i can bring a group of friends to that drive in and have the same magical experience together, a good bonding session. it really was actually kinda nice.
and once again, i have produced a half hearted entry, where i could stay up until 3am to make it half decent, but i'll save that for another day. or night.

alright, i'm going. i'll try writing a better blog later.
