Act II: The Wrath of George!
After I updated last night, Mimmi held me at finger-point while I found some old photos of myself and my family to show her ^_^; It was very embarrassing, but quite good fun. A lot of the pictures showed the extension to our house being built, none of which I remember too well because I was in pain and plaster at the time. So it wasquite nice to look over them again, even though some of the others were pretty face-reddening ^_^;

After that we went to sleep, with plans to go off to Portsmouth early the next morning.

Early the next morning, when we arrive at Southbourne station to catch a train, we find that the train we were going to get had been cancelled (after we bought our bloody tickets, grr...) and went to Chichester instead.

Chichester is quite a nice place, if I think about it. Since I'm so used to it I tend to take its virtues for granted and only see things that are missing in relation to other places I go to. But in terms of shops, I guess that's what the internet is for.

Anyway, I showed Mimmi around while she bought presents and postcards for her family (I suddenly realised that she hadn't bought anything for herself, which seemed incredibly selfless of her. Mind you, she is on a trip, heh). We ate food and started to make our way towards Chichester Gate where we went bowling ^_____^

Mimmi won both games, but by a lesser margin than when we last faced each other, heh. She does very well at it ^_^ The Bowlplex was much much cheaper than the one in London, and it had a nicer atmosphere too.

After that, we moved all of 60 feet over to the cinema to see Hellboy. Unfortunately, since Hellboy had been out for so long it had been relegated to odd screens at odd times, so we had almost three hours to spend until it started.

So we went to the Bishop's Palace Gardens and watched this gardener man (henceforth dubbed 'George') do his stuff. We even took pictures of him and his wheelbarrow full of goodies ^_^

Hellboy was... I thought it was pretty average, actually. Much along the same lines as Van Helsing and the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, with Hellboy being the better of the three. Some of the action scenes seemed a little clumsy, in that you could really tell it was wirework and strings/pulleys etc. You knew it was in things like the Matrix, but since it was blended together so well you didn't notice it as much.

Then we came home via Waitrose where Mimmi picked up (as in bought, rather than just inspecting it) some Cottage Cheese. It looked quite tasty, but I didn't feel like eating anything too heavy.

Mimmi then proceeded to beat me at Scrabble twice, by very large margins each time ^_^; She's also very good at that, heh.

And yes, we have been taking pictures ^_~ Although I can't guarantee that there'll be masses and masses of them. Just enough, heh. But you will see them ^_^
