*If you've been missing going out to the movies while you're in camp, it's your lucky day! The local giant is watching a movie on her laptop, with its screen large enough to have come out of a (small) theater*

*Even if you haven't missed them, or don't like romantic comedies, if you're anywhere near her it's hard to miss French Kiss playing on it

[Ah, France . . .]

Movie night?

[atkofthe50ftme]

That's right! I felt like relaxing tonight.

[justwannahave]

You seem to be getting a little worked up though . . .

[atkofthe50ftme]

But, I'm getting worked up while lounging around soaking up the sun. Totally relaxing!

Anyway, movies are more fun if you let yourself get really into them.

[justwannahave]

I'd rather be in Paris and relaxing--but I get your point.

At least the quirky comedies back then were better than a lot of the rom-coms now.

[atkofthe50ftme]

Ooh, have you been there too? It's a great place, isn't it?

Oh, I bet there was still plenty of junk. It's just that the ones you like better are the ones that stick in your mind this long.

Very chic--you feel so sophisticated there. Until you get snubbed by a waiter or something.

That's why stuff like When Harry Met Sally still stands the test of time--mainly for not being entirely generic.

[atkofthe50ftme]

Waiter's are less likely to snub me and more likely to run away screaming, but I can't eat at restaurants anyway so it all works out.

...Shoot. Now that you've made me think of it I kind of wish I could watch that next, but I'd have to wait for a copy to download first.

[justwannahave]

Do you miss normal stuff like that?

At least the internet is still available for downloading our entertainment--this place tends to go a little stir-crazy if the 'net is taken away.

[atkofthe50ftme]

Mm... sometimes. But, you know what? Ever since I stopped moping about it I've had a lot more fun as Ginormica than I ever did as plain old Susan Murphy. Plus, the white hair that comes with it? Totally cute on me, don't you think?

Ha, I remember what it was like when it went down last month! That's another good thing about being giant; before this laptop showed up for me here I'd gotten used to not being able to use computers so it was no biggie.

[justwannahave]

Yes--it's very unique look on you.

At least this place seems to believe that everyone gets a laptop regardless of size or species. Even ponies.

[atkofthe50ftme]

I could hardly believe it when I first saw this one. I mean, who makes a computer that size?

[justwannahave]

Or maybe the Director has an enlargement ray. Anything is possible here.

[atkofthe50ftme]

If she does, I wish I could borrow it.

Though I did meet the nicest little boy who has a machine that does the same thing. He gave me the first cupcake I'd had in a year!

[justwannahave]

That sounds sweet--both the kid and the up-sized cupcake, I mean.
