Date #3: The movies/broke at the drive-thru

For date #3, Date & I went to see The Princess and the Frog. Neither one of us had seen a non-CGI Disney cartoon since, like... The Lion King or some mess. Which is partially the reason we wanted to see it in the first place*. I don't know about y'all, but I am SO OVER CGI movies and have been for some time. It's like they come out with a new one every week. That mess isn't novel anymore movie people!!! (I mean, The Chipmunks Movie? Seriously? Who pays money to see this crap?)

Anyways.

Because it's been soooo long since I've seen a Disney cartoon, I kinda forgot how they are all basically musicals. I hate musicals evil Who just spontaneously breaks into song? Wackness. But there were other reasons I wanted to see the film:
  • First non-CGI movie Disney has put out in a minute
  • Disney's first black princess! No more always having to be Princess Jasmine
  • It looked cute
I won't ruin the movie for those of you that haven't seen it, but overall it was a cute little film. My favorites were Mama Odie and Louie the Crocodile, who looks suspiciously like a dinosaur. I've never seen a croc with double chins and belly rolls, ha.

Juju & Mama Odie; Louie & friends

And of course, Ray!

After the movie, I was starving like a mug (I refused to let Date pay for movie theater food, to his relief. Four dollars for a small soda... wtf?!) so we went to Mickey D's. Only problem is, I was almost short of change at the drive-thru! I have an increasingly heavy change purse in my bag, so I try to use exact change as often as I can to lighten it up some. It was an agonizing and kinda funny 8 minutes as Date and I scrambled for the correct change to give the attendant. I don't think she found our antics amusing though, lol.

To further explain my change situation, I give exact change not only to lighten up my purse, but also because I hate getting change back. But, yeah, doing that at the McD's drive-thru just made me feel like a broke fool, lol. Oh well, I still got MY #11.

Word.

*Actually, it was between this and Armored, but Date agreed to let the lady choose wink
