Ickyness Be Gone!

I’m boring myself with all of this talk of ickyness, so this will be my final roundup for now.

Sheer Stupidity

I can’t blame this one on jet lag.
Upon arriving at the cinema this afternoon I got the tickets, made it to the assigned screen, settled in and popped a few pieces of popcorn. Then the theatre darkened, the trailers rolled and the title of the film came on the screen.
