What to do...

You finally have your driving license, on a (then) Friday evening.
The girlfriend desperately wants to go to a party in Gent, but the parents won't let you have the car for that. You ask around and no one who lives close enough is able to drive you back home.
So you say... why not go to the cinema. The furthest, to show off your driving "skills" and to make it more of an outing. Just the two of us.
So you do.
And you go see "Big Fish", highly recommended by the most famous blog-couple in Flanders, or at least Izegem...
And it's brilliant. Beautiful, funny, sentimental... sad.

The Saturday you go to the cinema again, but this time with the girlfriend and your resident sexkitten Ellen. The parents look at you like you've grown an extra head when you ask if you can have the car (which they don't use on a Saturday night), so you ask Ellen to drive. You see Gothika at 8pm, because the girlfriend (still the one from the Friday) is deadly tired. So are you.
You want to kill the people who are talking as if they're at a party.
You decide never ever ever to go to an 8pm show there again.
Girlfriend is sleeping.
Piglet is waiting for a film that starts at midnight, on VPRO. Something about queers at the beginning of the (last) century.
