Yesterday

Yesterday we went to watch a movie.

While a movie was so-so, a couple that sat next to me was amusing.

They were clearly on the first or second date, and the girl was talking non-stop. Oh God, what she talked about... :) For one thing, she was telling him over and over how strictly she's measuring her calories intake (though she wasn't that thin, you know, more like average woman in her twenties) and how she's calculating how many calories she's got in her shopping cart. She even said that when she has a choice which trademark to buy, she's depending on calories... meaning she must be eating a lot of junky food. She also said that since she adores cheeses, but they have too many calories, she switched to ice-cream instead. 

The man didn't know what to say - or didn't listen, which proved more viable afterwards - and was giving her short 'yes, yes' from time to time. 

Moreover, she was gossiping about anyone who came in the range of sight with popcorn or other movie-theater bought snacks, telling him how many calories they were to consume and how stupid it was. While the calories part was true, she managed to put it all as an ode to her own 'smartness' in the way of eating, which was ... simply laughable.

I tried to ignore her (which was hard, since she sat right next to me and was hitting me with her arms from time to time, articulating, nevertheless, I didn't help noticing that she shut up only when her date started to make attempts to get under her short skirt. And she wasn't set against it :)

On the way home a mist hit our city once again, and very thick it was. 

While driving not high above the river, one could see no more than 20 meters ahead. We even missed the turn and had to drive to the gas station from the 'exit' driveway. 

Since my place is situated high above the sea level, the mist dispersed when we got home, leaving only a wet unpleasant feeling in the air and a bit of light diffusion.
