Yesterday, Matt and I decided to go see a movie since he got out of work _really_ early. We decided on Star Wars: Clone Wars, checked the online listing, and got to the theater. Since it was close, I went to get the popcorn and soda, and he went for the tickets. Turned out, their online listings were wrong: Instead of starting at 10:50, the movie started at 10:30. The ticket girl had said we should be getting in just at the end of the trailers, and there should still be half the seats open, but if not, they could exchange the tickets for another show, or just refund the money.

So we hustled. And found that the movie had already started, and there weren't any seats open. So, we decided to see something else. Decided on Mamma Mia. I sat with the popcorn and soda while Matt went to exchange the tickets. Turned out, there were only 2 seats left in that showing. Nothing else we wanted to see that started soon, so we gave up and just got our money back on the tickets, took the popcorn and soda, and went home.

Later, we went back out. Goodwill was having a 50% off day, so we decided to check it out. I ended up picking up three books (slow cooker cookbook, a thrifty guide, and Griffin and Sabine, a book I'd wanted to read since high school), four dresses (2 purple, one blue and purple, and one green), and an aqua housedress with a big ol' parrot on it that I just thought was wonderful. Matt got a motherboard with the type of processor he needed to work on a friend's computer.

I really wish I'd had my camera, though, especially since [livejournal.com profile] blogofstench pointed out [livejournal.com profile] thrifthorror. Oh man, did I see some things that would qualify. Eyeless (soulless?) ceramic dancing girls, a pair of shell lamps, a wonderfully tacky beaded top....

Good news for me, though, I found the keychain camera I'd wanted at WalMart later that night. So maybe my next trip, I can document the horror.

[livejournal.com profile] blogofstench had a link to [livejournal.com profile] thrifthorror recently.

I followed it.

I spent over 8 hours yesterday looking at pictures of bad ceramics and reading the snarky commentary.

I then went to bed.

I DREAMT about bad ceramics and snarky commentary!!

And now I seriously have the desire to get a small, unobtrusive keychain digicam and spend a day trawling the Goodwills, Savers, and Value Villages around here, looking for my own thrift horrors. :-)

Oh, and I got this icon there, too.

In other thrift news, I found another glass/silver piece for my collection. A large pedestal bowl, and it was half-off. Looking at it when I got it home, I started wondering if it didn't start life that way, but someone decided to drill a hole in the bottom and add the pedestal. But, hey, another piece for the collection, even though I still want to sell off the entire lot.

We went to Guardian Angel Thrift Store today; I got two pairs of jeans off the plus-size rack, size 18. Didn't think to try them on...

Got home, and I just looked at them. Someone put them on the wrong rack. They're not 18 womens. They're 18 BOYS.

Anyone need two pairs of size 18 boys' jeans?

No refunds or exchanges.

Crap.
