Indie Movies and Open Mics

Tonight's adventures included indie movie Youth In Revolt which Kalysta liked and I endured, the first half of Zombieland and sitting in a cafe during an open mic.

Kalysta tried her best to do my makeup before we went out while I started laughing hysterically over nothing. Every time I would stop and be quiet, she'd touch my eyelid with her brush and I'd burst out laughing again, tears smearing at the liquid foundation she'd rubbed under my eyelids. It was very amusing.

At the cafe there is covered outdoor seating and then a large empty doorway that divides the inside from the out. Outside teenagers were smoking hookah and cigarettes and talking loudly. It was busy inside as well so we sat down on a piano bench and watched as the greatly untalented guys crooned along with their guitars, a lewd comedian wannabe announced performers and a woman with so many flashy silver jewelry wrapped around her arms and fingers she twinkled like a star, read a poem declaring her sexual fantasies with a woman in Florida. During this we split a green apple smoothie which was probably the best smoothie I've had in a long time.

It was also fun to run into a friend from Claremont High School. I'd been planning on tracking her down this September but she told me she hangs out at the cafe often. I am definitely going to have to find her again in a month or so.
