this seems like a good place to vent
so, here is the back story, i got to run into a town about 1.5 from home to pick up a present for a buddy (his wife is gonna hate it, it will be great)
now i dont mind the drive, specially since i know this town, the wife used to work there and we'd go there quite often
there is a hotel we'd stay at, a place that actually serves tasty pizza and a "fitness center" with a pool that the hotel guests get access too
so i figured, lets make a day out of it
but first, lets check in with the pizza shop
hey, yeah, this is the 'rage speaking, i just wanted to see what time you guys have the buffet going on this weekend?
turns out, they are only open for take out
now, their pizza is good, but it is still only pizza, and i dont want to pay dine in prices for take out food
(not to mention that with the buffet i can get a few slices of different pizzas, but now im either stuck eating only one, or buying a few different pies)
crap
well, at least we can go to the cinema there
they have this cute little cinema, recently renovated with comfy seats and only 2 screens
so i call them and ask what they are playing
one lame movie about some golfer and one "kids movie" that is 10 years old and is about some kid who "in order to win her heart must defeat his new girlfriends seven evil exes"
how is this a kids movie?
im here trying to raise decent kids and this punk is supposed to be the hero of the movie and this hobag is the price?
come on man
so we wont be going there
well, i'll call the pool and see what time they have free swim
"hey, yup this is the 'rage, hey, what time is family swim this weekend"
well, we have adult swim on friday and saturday
great, i didnt ask that, i asked about family swim
well, you see, with the covid going on, we ask that only people 12 and up use the pool
crap
i guess ill just pick up a bottle of niquil and have the kids sleep in the car for 3 hours
