Tell me ladies, what do you know about sea turtles?

So yesterday around this time (noon), I decided to watch all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies in a row. Not wanting to waste time, I started right away. About an hour into the first movie, I got a phone call--I know, I didn't turn my cell phone to vibrate during the movies, for shame--inviting me to go to church that evening and then go see Up at the dollar theater (a misnomer, really, since a movie at the dollar theater costs two dollars, but whatever). I said I didn't have any money to spare at the moment. I did have $10, but that was earmarked for the Anthem CD, and was given to me for that express purpose by the lead singer/guitar player.

He said it was okay, and he'd pay for me to see the movie, so I went--having to stop with the cliffhanger ending of Dead Man's Chest. Lo and behold, there were singing (and dancing) pirates at church. They were hilarious.

After church, I got my CD and we went to see Up. The previews do not do this movie justice. They make it seem mildly funny--and only that funny to little children--with poor physics. The poor physics part is true, but it didn't bother me because I was too busy laughing. The talking dog that is seen in the previews (there are a few dozen in the movie) reminded me (and the couple that paid for my ticket) of the large singing pirate from church. "Hi there. I have just met you and I love you." Classic. The only problem was that dog also said "I will not bite you." The large singing pirate would never say that, and would in fact, bite you.

After the movie, we went back to their place for ice cream--the first indulgence I've had from my diet in about a week. We talked for a while, those two being their usual goofy selves, and me mostly just laughing.

About 10, we were all feeling tired, so I got a lift home. I should have just read my bible and gone straight to bed, but instead I put in the Anthem CD. I listened to it all the way through, then read my bible while tracks 1 through 4 played again, and went to bed about midnight.

This morning, I finished up Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, thus completing (maybe) my pirate-y weekend.
