48 Hours With Holz, By The Numbers  

Aside from working my ass of this week, last Sunday and Monday were damn fun:

$6.75 - Cost of a movie ticket at 12:50 in the afternoon
$8.50 - Cost of refillable rootbeer and popcorn
9:00pm - Time I left the theater, on said ticket
4 - Number of movies I saw (in order, Charlie & The Choc Factory, Sky High, Dukes of Hazzard, Wedding Crashers)
2 - Number of movies I saw that starred both Linda Carter and Kevin Heffernan (both in Dukes and Sky High)... weird.
3 - Refills of soda
1 - Refill of popcorn
5 - Arby Melts I had to get afterwards 'cause I was starving

Next day, after work, I went to the final day of the Sonoma Fair:

$7.00 - Cost to get in and simply walk around
$5.00 - Spent on tickets to go on rides (dollar a ride)
3 - Rides I went on, including Magnum, a crappy roller coaster, and my fav, the Tilt-O-Whirl
21 - Approx. combined age of girls I was partnered with on two of the rides (haven't they ever seen SVU?)
2 - All-out brawls seen at the fair
1 - Person seen running from the cops who was eventually tackled to ground (awesome!)
6 - Deep-fried Oreo's ingested (totally worth the year-long wait!)
$12.00 - Cost of a 10 minute massage
37 - Approx. number of times I cursed the guy afterwards for totally destroying my back
2- Fair meals ingested, a Jumbo Turket Leg and a Gyro... yummy
9:30 - Time a helicopter began circling the fair with a spotlight.
9:52 - Time the cops shut down the fair... Sonoma County sucks...

5 Arby Melts?

No wonder your blog is called Stomach Pains.

I still don't get the whole movie hopping thing. Don't you get caught? Especially reentering the theater after refils?

Why don't we get fairs like that in our area? That sounds like fun.

Yeah, my diet hasn't been working too well. Aside from Fresh Choice salads about twice a week, have not been keeping up with it... just pathetic really.

Regarding the vegetables... corn's a vegetable, so I'm goign with the large popcorn to be a suitable replaceent. Plus I had some jalapeno poppers as well, so there's two right there!

Stan, the trick with movie-hopping is to find a theater that rips tickets at the entrance, not somewhere deep in the theater.

And I should be getting reviews of all the flicks up today or tomorrow... suffice to say, loved two, liked one, and enjoyed parts of the last.
