Trip Down Memory Lane
Last night was a great night for me here in at home … I spent all day with my mom and dad and then met up with Sarah, Tracey and Zakiya for a fun dinner together. We grabbed some food at Buffalo Wild Wings in Canton, MI where it was kids night … Zakiya was able to get her face painted, we were able to catch up:
Princess Z was not happy when it was time to leave, which is when she turned on the fake waterworks … tho, her performance last night was prolly much better than the one Katie Holmes was giving on the set of her new movie The Extra Man. But I digress … after dinner, Sarah and I went to my fave coffee house in the whole world — City Coffee in Allen Park, MI. I have spent hours at that place reading and writing. In fact, the creative writing project that I wrote in grad school which eventually turned into Pink is the new Blog was written at City Coffee. The MJR Allen Park Theater is right next door and we popped over to see The Unborn:
That theater was where I saw my first movie ever (The Great Muppet Caper) and has since become a $1 Theater ($1.50 after 6PM). It’s still one of those old fashioned movie theaters — no stadium seating, no multiplexes … just a fun theater. It was really fun being able to go back.
So anyways … The Unborn:
Despite the fact that it was written by the guy who wrote The Dark Knight, it really wasn’t a great film. It featured a poor man’s Megan Fox in a decent story that was very poorly executed. Cam Gigandet is in it and was a nice surprise but not even his hawtness could really save the film. I will say there were a few scary moments … coupled with the nostalgia of seeing it in that old movie theater, well, I guess I didn’t hate it.
So yeah … my quick trip to Detroit is over … I fly back to LA in a few hours … so I’ll be comin’ atcha from the Left Coast tomorrow. Thank you Detroit, I’ll miss you!!

1st) BWW has the most awesome mini-corndogs on the planet. So damn good!! I could eat those all day!
2nd) I love memory lane. So fun and your goddaughter is so cute and BIG!! I remember when she was a baby!
3rd) The unborn SUCKS. People walked out. I don’t think I have ever laughed so much in a horror movie before. LOL..my friends and I fought over whether that was Megan Fox or not. She does look just like her.

It will be nice to have someone waiting for your return. Isn’t this the first time you have left by yourself since you and David moved in together?. My daughter is in grad school in Ann Arbor. We visit MI once or twice a year. I don’t think she has been too crazy about the weather this winter. I love BWW. They are too far away from me now.

Trent, you were just a few short minutes from me when you were in Allen Park. We’re actually straight down the road from it and like 2 miles down from the theater. lol

Zakiya is getting so big! She’s really grown up through pictures on your blog :)

Trent, you do know that girl is from Cloverfield, right? The one who was stuck in the apartment? Anyways, LOL @ that. Funny. I think she is way prettier even though they do look alike. I also find her to be a better actress as well.

Did you take her to the Carvel next door to B-Dubs? Good eats!

I live right by the BWW in Canton. I would have flipped had I seen you around! Glad to hear you enjoyed your trip home.

I’ve always heard (not necessarily agree with) that Megan Fox is a poor man’s angelina jolie. So what does that mean for this chick, eh?
February 26th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
That little girl is so cute, and getting bigger by the second. I fill old. lol
February 26th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
Hey Trent…it’s Odette Yustman in The Unborn not Megan Fox :)
February 26th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
@Ashley — I never said it was Megan Fox.
