Having had bad luck with my first contest, I was not going to let my second prize winning go to waste. To make sure I made it to the Georgia Straight office (everything about them is geared for Vancouverites – they are only open Monday to Friday during office hours), I changed my work schedule to arrive at 8 am and leave at 4 pm, then I drove across town to make it to their office a mere 15 minutes before they closed. (Lest you think I polluted the air with needless driving, I made sure to be at least somewhat environmentally responsible and combined my trip wtih a couple of errands. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any more contests.)<\/p>\n
Not wanting to squander my winnings, I also made plans to see Unknown<\/em> the next day. My husband and I made it just in time…to take our pick of seats. I don’t know how movie theatres survive today. I like going out and I like seeing movies on the big screen. Probably most people now have large TVs so they have no desire to go out anymore.<\/p>\n The movie turned out to be pretty fun. After a car accident, Liam Neeson’s character comes out of a coma to find out his wife no longer recognizes him and some other guy is pretending to be him. Anyhow, you most likely know this – I don’t have cable or read entertainment news anymore, so I have no idea what movies are playing. If not, let me tell you the best part. <\/p>\n The movie is set in Berlin.<\/p>\n There you go. You’ll enjoy the movie, too, if you like car chases.<\/p>\n *****<\/p>\n My contest contest winnings now amount to:<\/p>\n RV Show tickets $16<\/p>\n +<\/p>\n Unknown<\/em> movie tickets $25<\/p>\n = $41<\/p>\n So I am behind R, but gaining! I am sure with my next few contests I should catch up:<\/p>\n March 7:<\/p>\n March 12:<\/p>\n March 13:<\/p>\n Having had bad luck with my first contest, I was not going to let my second prize winning go to waste.
