I haven't been on here in a month I've been too depressed to be funny. You know that place past funny because you're kinda depressed but before funny because you're super depressed? That's me.

Not super depressed. Doing well. Enjoying my life. Little gray. Not funny.

Went to Marcus Cinemas for the first time in 5 years yesterday. It was terrible. 2 small bags of candy and a large soda was $20. Tickets were $30. The seats weren't comfortable. Sound was meh. Marcus used to be my happy place, circa 2010. Not going back again.
