Yes, shallow and pedantic. I find this meatloaf shallow and pedantic.

Yes, shallow and pedantic. I found The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift to
be shallow and pedantic.
Caroline had arrived at my door step at approximately 9:27 and then we soon left
for Flower Power. We had arrived at the bus stop early so Caroline decided to
sing current pop songs to entertain us both. After three Rail Buses and a few
songs (by such artists such as The Pussy Cat Dolls, The Young Divas, Christina
Aguilera and others) the 902: Bankstown to Parramatta arrived 9 minutes late
(according to Caroline's watch). On the bus, we met up with Anna and sat at the
back because that's how cool we are. We soon approached "Woodville Village" (or,
commonly referred to as Villawood Shops) but before arriving at the bus stop
Susan was waiting at, our bus turned into the shops instead of staying on
Woodville Road. Susan then just had 10 seconds to reach the bus stop before the
President is assassinated, a deadly viral gas contaminates the planet and two
Replacement Housemates enter the "hatch", both of which share one deadly secret.
What's the secret? (What's the secret?). And, now with a new World War emerging,
Jack finds himself on the verge of returning to the life he tried to forget.
Which two housemates share a relationship? What did Kate do? Which of your
favourite castaways will be MURDERED? Will the Desperate Housewives get their
revenge? How will it happen? Who will be responsible? Will I finally get on with
this entry and tell you what happens next? Who takes it? Who's cuisine reins
supreme?

Realising she wouldn't make it walking alone, she made
a quick dash for it. As Anna, Caroline and I laughed hysterically, she managed
to slip through the doors as they shut (well not really, she made it comfortably
with time still to spare) and lucky for her as we weren't about to wait for the
next bus. As Susan walked onto the bus, Anna and Caroline gasped. Something was
up with Susan but I didn't know what it was. The bus trip was not all too bad
although long and Caroline was told by someone who shall stay nameless that "I
didn't catch the bus to hear you, love!".
We soon arrived at Parramatta and Caroline got a phonecall... t'was Lance and he
was at Hungry's. Not knowing where Hungry's was, Caroline relied on us to lead
her to him. We arrived at Hungry's and then back into the newly revamped
Westfield. Susan could not resist the temptation of City Beach (we should've
left her at the bus stop) so they all went in, as I stood outside watching The
Simpsons on Foxtel Digital. They soon returned and we went upstairs, as the
girl's checked out Bardot I went into EB Games and checked for anything good.
Nothing, so I walked out as the girls watched and then laughed at me for no
apparent reason. Then to Myer, as the girls argued over whether this Elmo shirt
was cuter than another shirt, I sat down on a comfy chair. Shoe section and I
found myself a gold sequined belt with a love heart buckle. Yes Caroline, I
lurrrvvve shopping.
For some reason, we found ourselves on the top floor and infront of a shoe shop.
Anna and I decided to go into Toys R' Us, while the others stayed in that
particular shoe store. We found ourselves in the board game section when we see
Caroline pop her head out of nowhere. Susan revealed she wanted to open up and
then possibly take some UNO BOOM-O cards. Later, I discovered the carpet (if
properly used) could be used as a tool to shock those around you. Lance began
shocking Caroline as she retreated into a store and soon after I got a phone
call from Daniel. He had arrived and we arranged to meet at Toys R' Us. After
walking slowly towards Toys R' Us, Susan saw Daniel approaching Toys R' Us as we
slowly approached the opposite side of Toys R' Us. Next, we went into SDS for a
while, then back out and then into a Candy Store and then sat down for a while
then into Borders. As everybody complained about Manga, Anna and I searched the
stands for anything that interested us. Susan attempted to help but failed
miserably and Daniel wanted to know where the "hentai" was?. Received yet
another phone call, this time it was Kan. He too, had arrived in Parramatta and
we arranged to meet infront of Greater Union. Waited not so long and we decided
to buy our tickets.
Being Tightarse Tuesday, we purchased our tickets at a discounted price of $8.50
rather than the normal admission price of $11.50. After we all bought our
tickets, we headed off in search of food. We went into Woolworths, where
Caroline bought Starburst and I got Peanut M&Ms, seeing as they had no small
packets of Malteasers. Daniel suggested Susan to get a "choc top". Susan was not
very impressed. On our way to the food court, as we stopped at Supre. Daniel and
Anna then debated about Susan's "supposed" origins and came to conclusion she
looked half Indian/Iraqi. We headed off to the food court as Caroline and Susan
were hungry. They each got a cheeseburger and snuck it into the cinema. After
this, we headed off to Greater Union to find decent seats for ourselves. On our
way, this short, stubby kid stalked and bullied me. He said he was a Dragons
supporter despite him holding an AFL Sydney Swans ball. We reached the cinema
and he had seemingly disappeared as we went past the lady that checks your
tickets. We were in Cinema 8, and after watching 'Click' at Bankstown HOYTS, I
didn't think there would be a worse cinema. It was just as small and lousy,
although the sound quality was a lot better.
We found decent seats in Row 2 despite our tickets stating we were in Row 4.
Soon, some other kids came along and claimed we were in their seats. Daniel and
Kan, the bastards, stayed in their seats while Anna, Caroline, Lance, Susan and
I moved to Row 4. The movie without all the "reminiscing" and "recounting" of
childhood memories would not have been a total waste of money but sadly they
chose to include these scenes in the final editing. After the movie, Susan
described the movie as "edge of your seat" even though everybody in the cinema
had an idea what was going to happen next. "Cowboy" (with annoying accent)
learns how to "drift", sleeps with enemy's girl, friend dies, races enemy, wins
girl and title of DK (Donkey Kong). Strangely enough the highlight of the movie,
was a scene where the DK is seen teary and Caroline could not help but burst out
in laughter.
After the movie had finished, we all headed to the Food Court once again to eat.
Caroline and Susan were full after their cheeseburgers while Daniel, Lance and
Kan got Oporto and Anna got McDonalds, I got KFC. The day ended with Susan
feeling sick and still in pursuit of a long sleeve shirt and us looking "sad".
Now to something totally unrelated.
