You always want what you cannot have......

I found out yesterday that tickets were going on sale for a special screening of all 3 Lord of Rings films back to back at select theatres nationwide. While I thought that was a very cool idea, my almost 40-year-old lower back said to me "Are you nuts? I'll be in pain for days if you sit in a theatre seat for over 12 hours!" So I didn't think too much more of it.

Then I read that 24 hours later, almost all 100 theatres in the country showing the trilogy sold out in one day!!! Although I knew the appeal was there I never thought that people would buy tickets to a movie over 2 months in advance. Not only that, the ticket announcement was strictly just over the web, no TV or radio. So obviously I took it as all theatres are gonna be full of geeks.

Now I really want to go. That's when I really felt like crap for being shut out. But it's just as well.......it's on a weekday and my days of taking off work for a movie are (or should be) long gone. And as long as I keep telling myself that I'll be fine.


As for the Sox, they lose Game 2 and now are heading to Fenway. I can't say that I am totally upset by it being that they managed to get one in the Stadium. I honestly didn't expect anything from Derek Lowe given that this was his 4th appearance in 7 games and he must be exhausted. But he did great! What killed the Sox tonight was not getting runners home, which is frustrating because Grady sat down the hottest hitter on the team (Walker) for defensive purposes. The sports talk shows will be buzzing about that one tomorrow.

Ticket for the possible World Series go on sale tommorow at 6pm. While I will make every attempt to get a couple of tickets (preferably for Game 6), I cannot believe the prices - Box seats are $180 each!! But can you imagine being there....?
