Errands and a Movie

For this morning I had a service appointment for my truck scheduled, as my RAM was due for an oil change and the for the 18.000 mile service. We left around 9 am and I got to the Dodge Dealer at 10 am and it would be several hours before they would be done with the truck. So Kenny and I decided to have breakfast at a Denny's nearby.
After breakfast Kenny and I decide to see a movie at the Winnetka 21 theatre, while we were waiting for the truck. We decided to see the Sorcerer's Apprentice. I really don't know why it was doing not so well at the box office. I really liked the movie. It had a great story and for most part the story was being told a fairly quick pace. The SFX were absolutely great and I loved the action sequences as well. It even had a love story built in. So it pretty much had what every good summer movie needs. Although I'm not a big Nicholas Cage fan, I think he was really doing a great job in that movie.
If you guys don't have a clue what I'm talking about, here's a short synopsis:

Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). Balthazar can't do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protégé. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, these unlikely partners work to stop the forces of darkness. It'll take all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl as he becomes The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

After the movie we checked with the Dodge Dealer, but my truck wasn't ready yet. So we headed to the Northridge Mall. While there we just had to go to the Apple Store and both, Kenny and I, got to play around with an iPad. I'm really sure that there will be an iPad in the near future for me! After strolling trough the mall we finally decided to have lunch in the Northridge Mall at a place called Adelina's Mediterranean Grill. Although it's fast food it was very delicious! While we had lunch Kenny read a facebook message from one of our friends congratulating us to our 2nd wedding anniversary. Otherwise my better half would have completely forgotten about it. Is it weird that I don't feel upset or sad about that ?? Not quite sure about that.
After lunch we headed over to the Dodge Dealer and waited for the car to get ready. Around 5 pm Kenny headed home since Daisy had been locked up inside for almost 9 hours. I opted to not have my car washed at the dealer, since I would have to wait for another 30 min. Since we live on a dirt road, having your car washed really defeats the purpose. So I got home by about 6.30 pm.
