Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once during the night, again at 5am, couldn’t fall back asleep so I got up at 5:30am.
Since I had the White pieces against yoDerek88, I decided to
give him a chance to play the White pieces.
Gladiator II (7.0) is playing at 2:20pm so I think
I’ll see that later. (Teresa is meeting up with a gf who is going for a
mammography appointment.)
I left the apt at 8am and stopped in Pasteur where I
bought a box of Tena Dia pads for 24,489 pesos ($5.50). I took an outside seat in
Los Portenos where I had a latte while waiting for Marcos. He arrived at
9:15 and we discussed recent events. He leaves next week for a month in
Arizona, returning on December 10th. He asked if I want him to bring
me anything from the states. I told him about Alejandro maybe buying an iPad on
Cyber Monday and he could bring it to me. I asked about where I could buy a
flannel shirt for cold Bogota and he suggested Decathalon, the sporting
goods store. Great idea.
He left at 10am and I left at 10:30 and returned to the apt.
yoDerek88 resigned our game on the 12th move when
I was about to win a piece plus the exchange, increasing my rating 1 point to
1616.
I left the apt at 1:30 and walked to the mall in my pants, t-shirt,
undershirt, and carrying a jacket, expecting excessive air conditioning in the
theater if not rain later.
I recycled a bottle then went up to the 2nd floor
and bought a Preferential ticket to Gladiator II (7.0) for 8,000 pesos. They
also gave me a raffle ticket to fill out for a new car. (I’ll takc care of that
later.)
I made a quick trip to Decathalon looking for a flannel
shirt but the closest I found was this jacket for 90,000 pesos.
Reentering the theater the guy ahead of me looked familiar.
It was Jose Avandaño who I hadn’t seen in quite some time. After
he got all his snacks: 2 tubs of popcorn (one which he dumped into a bag?) and
a large soda he took a seat at my table. With 30 movie viewings this year he’s already
earned his platinum card for next year while I have something like 6. He looks
good with some more facial hair then I remember. He says he works out at the
gym 6 days a week only taking off on Saturdays. He was still waiting on a
friend to arrive when I made my last trip to the restroom, claimed my free
Platinum popcorn, bought a large soda and entered the theater. I had a seat in
the last balcony aisle and there were maybe half a dozen others with me. The
movie was good but not great and when it ended I noticed Jose sitting on the
main floor.
I made a trip to the restroom, then as I was exiting the
mall the coolness suggested to me that it might be raining. There were just a
few raindrops as I got in the sheltered line for a taxi.
We had some rain in the evening but it had stopped by the
time I went to bed.
ONEIPAMETATO1453 resigned our game on the 30th
move, increasing my rating to 1620.
JUST FUNNY
