On our visits Sydney my girlfriend Maggie and I like to see a film in one of the art house cinemas along Oxford Street. Usually a limited release film not likely to be shown in our rural hometown. Nymphomaniac is showing at 2pm. It's a bit daunting at 4 hours, but we commit the afternoon to our pleasure. After a pizza lunch in Kings Cross an easy walk take...
I had been sent to a boarding school some 200 miles from home where I had a good education and a lot of fun. On this particular day we had no afternoon sports so I decided to go down town by myself wondering if I would have the nerve to buy another girlie magazine I always found this so nerve wracking and embarrassing but there again it was always great wan...
It had been a bad mistake, arriving at the hotel so ridiculously early. I now had the whole of Sunday afternoon to sit and worry about tomorrow's conference without the benefit of any distractions. The red wine I had ordered only a few minutes ago had already lost its appeal. I had imagined I would come across as ultra-sophisticated, ensconced in the deep le...
The day arrived for the late morning Wainui District Council planning and building control sub-committee hearing for consideration of the objection to the demolition permit for the old cinema. Liberty swept into the hearing room leading the executive of the Save the Starlight Cinema Campaign. Expressionless, hiding her shock, Liberty saw sitting beside Th...
One afternoon I was asked by my ex-boyfriend Tyler, if I would go to the movies with him and a girl from uni he was friends with but didn't want to think the movie was a date. As we were on good terms by this point, and I had heard great things about the movie, I said yes. When we arrived at the cinema the next night there wasn't any awkwardness and I actu...
With a stomach full of food and a steaming cup of coffee in front of him he began to feel more human. The café was starting to fill up with drunks from the local bars and it was getting hotter and more uncomfortable the more people came in. When a rather pungent, obviously homeless sat down next to him though, he decided it was probably time to leave. Squee...
A couple of evenings ago my boyfriend and I went out on a date. It was the classic dinner-and-a-movie combo and I'd been looking forward to seeing him all day. We met at the cinema and when I saw him I didn't know if I could resist him. He was standing in the sunshine and when I got to him I gave him such a passionate kiss that he actually got embarrassed ab...
James and Emma were a new couple, and they were in the phase of their relationship where they couldn't keep their hands off each other. Anytime they were together they would be all over each other, holding hands, hugging or even making out, often to the disgust of those around to witness it. James and Emma also liked to play a game. What had started out as...
At the movies It was late January & as usual for summer in Oz it was hot. It was over 40 (+100 F) degrees on this particular Saturday. My wife Sandy suggested we go to the cinema and cool off in the AC there. I said that sounded like a plan and went into the bedroom to put some clothes on. Sandy followed me in and pulled out a pair of running shorts and a...
Alexandra had known Jason almost as long as she had known her husband. She was running down the steps from their second floor apartment and Jason was on his way up. She stopped mid-step, "Are you looking for John?" he smiled his sweet, shy, yet friendly smile at her and answered that, Yes, he was looking for her boyfriend (and husband-to-be though she didn't...
