Tonight I went to the movies with a friend because my father told me that there were two Gold Class movie tickets in the cupboard above the stove that needed to be used.

I'd never been to a Gold Class movie. As I sat in the Gold Class bar before being shown to my seat, I wondered how many of the people present had actually paid for their tickets and how many had been given them or won them or found them in a bus shelter. I'm guessing it's roughly 50/50.

We saw Tomorrow When the War Began. I remember when the book came out - I would have been in about year 7. I enjoyed it very much. On the back of the first book of the series, the word "trilogy" was used. So I eagerly awaited the remaining two books in the trilogy. It was somewhat disconcerting when the fourth book was released... then the fifth... sixth... seventh... then the spin-off series...

I think it would have been a good idea to stop at three. But what's done is done.

Anyway, the movie was pretty good. I am not a huge fan of shooting scenes and there were a number of those, however the plate of chicken wings, bruschetta and little chicken pastry things arrived at around the same time the unpleasantness began and I could busy myself with eating chicken wings in the dark. I do quite like explosions and there were some good ones of those.

After the movie I popped into the clothes shop next to the cinema, that for some reason is open when the rest of the shopping centre is closed... and I found some work-appropriate trousers with reasonable pockets (girl clothes generally have abysmal pockets). They were $40 - which is quite good. But then for some reason the shop guy gave me 50% off. That was very pleasing.

The End.
