went to the cinema today, and was excited as we were able to get seats (thanks, Susan!) for the viewing (of Steven Soderbergh's Contagion) at the Director's Club theater, which offers a more pampering experience to enjoy the viewing. so, we go through the private entrance and enter the cozy theater. the usher walks us to our seat; to my delight, there are less than 20 seats and each of us gets our very own leather lazy chair with full reclining capabilities,
but then, the usher ask us for our order--the admission price covers not only the movie, but also a hot dog/sandwich, unlimited re-fill drinks and popcorn <DOH!>. normally, for past movies seen during PCP (and most of the time), i'm OK to not order any of the usually over-priced, not-so-healthy foods. so i ordered an un-sweeatened ice tea while Susan ordered her set.
the usher came back a couple mins later with 2 teas, a sandwich and hot dog, and 2 small individual containers of popcorn. i'm not sure what got into me, but i thought, well, it's here so i'll just taste one small handful of the popcorn, which was half salty savory and half caramelized sweet.
next thing i know, barely before the movie had started, my container was near empty! i couldn't help it--not usually a popcorn-needy person, but one taste and i was hooked this time. i ended up just indulging in a small one bite of the hot dog too... resulting in my first official PCP diet fail, albeit enjoyed with a decadent smile! :)

Bad boy!
