So last night Susannah and I went to a sneak peak of the new remake of Footloose (for free! thanks to Susannah's internet surfing skills) and had a great time. We got pink Footloose shirts (which are oddly small) and Footloose engraved sunglasses plus about a million posters. Anyway, about half way through the movie we both realized that not only did all the actors look really really short, but oddly out of proportion. We decided it was probably some weird camera angle to try not to reveal how short the Renn McCormack character actually is. It's probably the same one they always use for people like Tom Cruise, but for some reason it didn't quite work this time.
Ok, so after the movie we went to Sundance Square and had dinner at Piranha Sushi (because god forbid Susannah and I should eat anything other than sushi when we're together) and then to a concert by this cool cover band. Now you should probably know that Susannah's nickname could be mini-barbie. She's super cute and even when she wears her giant platforms I'm guessing she's about . . . . 5'6? Well, I'm 5'8 and generally wear 3-4" shoes. So I turn to Susannah as we walk into the crowded patio, "If I'm not taller than 75% of the guys here I'll pay you a million dollars." Guess what? My bank account is still intact. BUT, turns out that karma didn't like that little friendly bet and guess what happened? I threw my back out again. How is that karma you ask? Because now I can't really stand straight up and wouldn't dare risk falling off 3" heels today. Yup, this is clearly the big man's way of showing me what it's like to be shorter.
