Day After Operation Hail Mary Part II: First Movie in US

Exhausted from the 400m dash, Mson was 80% recovered by the time he reached his destination, where he would meet up w/ fellow CS buddy to go mattress hunting and other fun post-Operation Hail Mary activities.

Some of the activities included:
- Randomly walking up and down Main St for 10 minutes in search for a mattress shop that neither of us wrote down the address or name for
- Spending an hour+ lying on every other bed at the mattress shop
- Walking into high class furniture stores and realizing how nice furniture can be...I have to admit, the furniture were REALLY nice, but not quite sure if I would end up using a $3K table if I had bought one (since I wouldn't wanna risk damaging it)
- Finding a kiddie horse swinging thing that may soon become a resident for my home
- Finding a restaurant and discovering the wonders of Happy Hour
... and the piece de resistance: my first movie in the US!

Here's a picture of the cinema 5 minutes before showtime...


In total, there were 7 ppl (including 2 of us) inside the theatre. The movie had only been playing for 3 days, was supposedly a thriller, but turned out to be a comedy-suspense genre movie. Some scenes were horrifically gory, but did not necessarily advance the plot. There were big holes in the storyline here and there, which made the movie almost comedy like... haha. It did have a twist to it (which I had expected), leading to the climax, but the ending was quite weird. Still I thought it was a nice refreshing movie.

So ends the fun post-Operation Hail Mary day...
