The night before last, 8-10s went to the cinema (instead of bowling as we'd planned due to there 'not being enough people', but I gathered that it was more 'Simon didn't want to go bowling'). Predictably, Jake wanted to see Johnny English, despite having seen it already. Just as predictably, I did not want to see Johnny English, and informed everyone that I'd go home instead if they did go and see it. Eventually Jake and Amy (who didn't want to see anything the rest of us did, and hadn't seen Johnny English) went to Johnny English and me, Simon and James (the latter having already seen Johnny English) went to see The Recruit. (Simon wanted to see Phone Booth, but although I wasn't quite so violently opposed to seeing that, I did want to see The Recruit, and he wasn't as stubborn as me.)
There was only one other guy in the screen we saw The Recruit in, which was fun; it was practically our own private showing. The Recruit does techie stuff somewhere approaching correctly (for a movie), too, which was very cool. (The main character was using a free version of Opera! I mean, how much cooler can you get?) It looked like they'd made some effort to make the snippets of 'code' that you saw actually look like code, too. I was glad I'd held out for it, because it was a good movie (and the main character won the day by being insanely clever!).
Jake didn't seem to mind in the slightest that I'd been stubborn even though it was his 17th birthday (he'd been out carting on Saturday, so it was hardly 'spoiling his birthday treat' or anything), although my parents thought I ought to have let him have his way because of the coincidence of dates, and weren't terribly impressed when I pointed out that actually I had, he'd seen the film he wanted to.
I also went driving, and only screwed up after the first hour, which I thought was pretty good. (And I didn't screw up in a particularly dangerous manner, I just stalled on turning and stuff.) The projector system went wrong at church and they (i.e. people other than me, because I knew my opinion wouldn't be welcomed even though I still think I could have done better) panicked and reinstalled it, which is a right pain because they've wiped out all the songs we've been entering so now we have to dig out the old copies of the words again; we'd just about got the database to a state where you rarely needed to type in a whole song, or even modify one, and now it's back how it was.
I'm having trouble remembering what we did on Saturday. We went for a walk instead of driving because it was sunny and my mother wanted to go for a walk, and it was meant to be not-sunny on Sunday. I'm sure we must have done other things, but I can't remember them.
