Average Jane Tackles NaBloPoMo Again

In an effort to revive my ailing blog, I've decided to do NaBloPoMo for the third year in a row. That means a post a day all throughout November.

Last year I set up a post theme schedule for myself and I believe it would help if I did so again, so here it is:

Mondays - Recipes

Tuesdays - Childhood photos and memories.

Wednesdays - Memes - So if you have some, please tag me!

Thursdays - Stuff I Like/Product Reviews

Fridays - Potpourri (Whatever I feel like writing - just like a regular day!)

Saturday - Caturday

Sunday - Photos

I'm going to kick this off by completely ignoring the schedule and posting about something I did last week.

I was invited to a special sneak preview of the new Fork & Screen theaters inside AMC Studio 30 in Olathe. This is the countertop in front of each row of seats in the Fork & Screen theaters. There's a menu of entree, snack and drink items that you can order from your seat and have delivered by the waitstaff. I'd brought in a Guinness from their huge bar, MacGuffins, that's in the lobby of that wing of the theater. 

The counter is both a plus and a minus. It's great to have someplace to set your food and drinks, but unless you're about six feet tall, you have to sit up pretty straight to be able to see over it (which is why I tipped the ketchup over). If you are taller, like my husband, you end up banging your knee repeatedly on the bottom edge of the countertop.

It's still pretty cool, though. The prices are fairly reasonable and the tickets to the Fork & Screen showings cost the same as regular movie tickets.

They've also added some ultra-fancy Cinema Select theaters with cushy recliners, 8-foot deep rows and the same meal and drink service as the Fork & Screen theaters. Those tickets cost $10 more with a $5 food and drink coupon included, so it might be fun to go there for a movie you've really been looking forward to.

The movie we saw there was RocknRolla which is not really the kind of movie I generally go for, but entertaining enough once I eventually figured out who everyone was from the confusingly huge cast of characters. 

Most of all, it put this song in my head every time I thought of the movie title:

Yes that's Judas Priest in 1975, back when Rob Halford was still referred to as "Bob" on the album cover. If you only listen, they sound like the heavy metal band you'd expect. It just took their look a while to evolve.

Hello, good luck on the nablop. You want to be tagged for a meme? I'll pass on the meme that I've just done - 7 random things about yourself.

I did NaBloPoMo for the first two years, but I'm not sure if I'm into it for three years in a row. I did post yesterday on a Saturday though (which I don't normally do), and I'm posting something today...so maybe I don't want to be left behind JUST IN CASE I decide to follow through with it? :)

Not exactly a meme, but I left something for you in my post today that you might want to write about on Wednesday.

Good luck with NaBloPoMo!
