Wrong Place

I had planned to meet up with a friend for dinner on Friday night, but the best laid plans ...

First up was a movie, Passengers, the new Pratt/Lawrence "block buster".  Well I love sci-fi, queried my friends and none had seen it yet - so, okay, why not?  It is a Friday night.

To make it short, avoid the film.

I was forced to just take a hike, it was wasting my time with teenage male dominated dreams - zero reflections of reality!  In the real world, Pratt would be incarcerated at the least for his behavior and women are not that stupid as to "love" a sexual predator as in this movie.

Just another gross example of how far Hollywood is from reality, how people behave and what the essence of LOVE really is.  Conversely, I have found that love is not understood by many at all any longer.  Once back home, I checked the website and found that it was intended to be a love story.  They really missed the mark on that count!  Read on ...

So, off I set to the restaurant we were to meet at, WildFin.

I asked for a table for two, but obviously there was only one of me.  I waited 30 minutes and figured I guess it will be dinner for one.  As I walked through the dining room, eyes followed my almost every step.  It was a bit unnerving.  I was seated and looked around - a see of 30 somethings, eyes everywhere, on everyone.  It was not until a blond about 50 feet away was playing peek-a-boo with me behind her date that I figured it out - this is t he local hook up joint!  Gees.

So, that explained the trainwreck in progress at the table next to me.  He intend on his food, she wishing to talk and alternately looking over at me - though I have no idea as to why.  When he finally did speak after 1.5 hours of stuffing his face, it was not intelligible.  She apparently did understand and said, "no problem, I got you covered ..."  I assumed that he was sticking her with the bill, but no she tossed him a condom ... And yes, he did let her pay!

I was a little taken back by the utter brazenness of what had just happened.
I quietly paid my bill.
I swiftly walked out.

The food was excellent, the prices high and the entertainment a bit too adult for me ...
