Tristan Alone
This Friday the bus was on time so I decided to go see a movie that night. As most of friends were continuing their new D&D campaign which I no longer want to participate in for obvious reasons, I thought I might as well go alone.
Well, I got to the movie theater, and there was this really cool looking medieval movie at the local megaplex called "Tristan and Isolde." Thinking I was in for a treat, I got tickets for the late showing and waited around in line until then. Thankfully I was one of the first people in line, so I knew I would get a good seat.
Well, apparently, I was wrong.
I took a seat in the middle area where the bar is so I could put my feet up. I hate sitting too close because it hurts my neck to look up and I hate sitting too far back because I have to squint to see what is going on.
Unfortunately, as the movie was sold out, one of the ushers asked me to move to the handicapped seats because I was using up 3 of the regular seats. I know that I am big, but the seats in the theaters have progressively shrunk over the years and they really don't make allowances for people who are a little overweight.
Usually, I wouldn't object, but in this particular theater, the handicapped seats were RIGHT in front. The movie was great, there was all sorts of action happening and the battle scenes were choreographed EXCELLENTLY. Almost as good as the tournament we organized at the Renaissance Faire November of 2001.
Too bad my completely sore neck ruined it completely! What's more, the people sitting behind me were complaining about my breathing, but I can't help it; sitting like that makes my breathing extremely nasaly as it puts pressure on my chest and lungs when my head is being held that far back.
By the time I got home, I was practically wheezing and I had to use the nebulizer because my inhaler definitely wasn't enough.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I could hear the kids behind me and to the left talking about "That snorting, lonely fatass up front" throughout the whole movie just loud enough for me to hear. That just made me feel even more alone.
