( Get ready for an after the movie monologue. There may be spoilers; I am not sure. )

NOTE TO LIVEJOURNAL STAFF: PLEASE MAKE IT SO I CAN HIGHLIGHT A WORD WHILE IN INITIAL WRITING OR EDITING MODE AND ALLOW ME TO DO A QUICK DEFINITION OF THAT WORD SO I CAN KNOW I'M CHOOSING THE CORRECT WORD FOR THE CONTEXT AND WHAT I MEAN TO SAY RATHER THAN MAKING ME NEED TO GO TO ANOTHER WEBSITE TO LOOK UP SAID WORD. THANKS IN ADVANCE. MUCH APPRECIATED.

Note to people local to me: I never realized the shit traffic you guys experienced on the night of fireworks at MCC until I tried to get home the usual way from the above movie and hit the roadblocks. Had to go SO far around to approach from the other side. In my case, at least we were going where no one else wanted to so we didn't hit any traffic once we got out of the general flow. That poor cop who couldn't just let us through... He was helpful though. It was either sit tight in a nearby parking lot for an HOUR at 10:20pm, meaning we wouldn't get home until midnight... Or working our way around somehow b/c the roadblocks were only set in one direction forcing everyone to go through M and away from the neighboring one, EH. That's right. In all the years we'd lived in the area we have never encountered this. Always either away from town or staying in for the night. Always. Cop was shocked but didn't disbelieve me on that point.
