After I got done with all my classes I get back and get an IM from Abby telling me to check my facebook messages so I can reserve a spot for getting into James Blunt's Soundcheck for free.

Only I get on Facebook, and instant get a message about a free screening of the Tina Turner biopic, due to it being Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Naturally I was like, Hell Yes! When?! And it said "TONIGHT!". So Sam and I decided to grab our stuff and go.

On the way out we saw a caution sign sitting in the hallway and it reminded me of when I used to tape various things to Abby's door (including a caution sign, orange safety cone, her shoe, etc.) so I told Sam we should tape it to her door...at the Apartments. Which is kinda on the way to the University Center where the movie was being shown, so I ran back to the room, got some tape, and we were off.

When we got to Abby's we taped the caution sign to her door as planned, and then Sam grabs their plastic lawn chair, and we hoisted that up and taped that to the door as well. It was hilarious.

Then we were off to the movie. Which was really good. I might be slightly biased due to the fact that I have a strange fascination with Tina Turner, but seriously. She rocks. Angela Basset was surprisingly really good as Tina..who lets just say is a very colorful person, so if she could pull off that character, then I was really impressed with her as an actress. She had the facials DOWN!!! And she got all freakishly muscle-y for the film too. Lawrence Fishburn played Ike Turner, which was kinda sad, cause I don't like to hate him, but he did a good job of making me feel that way towards him. Especially during the rape scene. Sam actually started like freaking out, kinda growling and yelled "Ughh! *MumbleMumble* ...kill him!" which was hilarious, cause everyone turned around to look at her.

Although they probably weren't suprised at this point, since moments before I had been doing the proud Mary dance from my seat (arm/head motions) with Tina on screen, and that attracted some looks.

Then after the movie Sam and I had to break into my classic Tina impersonation singing "Simply the Best" all the way home, which sadly was a song not in the movie. So its only fitting that we did so. Of course the crowd of other people who came out of the movie happened to be walking behind us the whole way home too, so they continued the laughing.

Then we ran into Rachel Lebo, who lived on our floor freshman year, so she knows that where there's Tina singing there's bound to be Steph, Sam, and Will. Only Will's in Leiden, in the Netherlands, otherwise I'm sure he'd have been right there with us. So anyways, we tell her about how we were also similarly to freshman year taping stuff to Abby's door earlier that night, so we get Rachel to be our lookout, and go get some free planners from the UC front desk and steal a salt shaker on the way as well, which we taped to Abby's apartment door (knowing that by now she'd probably have gotten home to find and remove the other items) along with a rock and some flyers.

It was great. Of course I got yelled at soon as I signed onto AIM back in the doorms, but I went ahead and apologized twice--which Abby didn't understand at first, but I'm sure she got it, once she left the apartment again this morning.

Lessons Learned:

1) Spontaneity is fun.
2) Tina Turner is amazing.
3) Masking Tape can hold up plastic lawn furniture and rocks just as well as duck tape, when used in large quanitities.
