Angry Pirates of the Caribbean: At WIT's End!

What frustration this has been just to get this movie. First, I buy blu-ray in August plus POTC 1 & 2. I find out I have to wait 4 months to get part three which I never saw in the theater. DOH!

Today, I leave work one hour early for a doctor appointment and pickup the movie. It was only a shot so I know I will be out of there in 15 minutes. I turn down to the main street to the doctor's office a couple of blocks soon, no big deal, right? Wrong! Road work is diverting traffic so now those 2 blocks to get to the parking spot takes longer than usual.

I park, get in the elevator and push the button. Before the door shuts, some guy steps in. Before it shuts, he steps out. Didn't know where he was going.

I leave the doctor's place with no incident. But now I have to go UP the block where traffic is diverted and I pull out behind a bus. That takes a few minutes. I turn the corner to head back to the direction where I came from... problem is, so did half the other cars. More lost time just to get turned around! Finally, on my way to BJ's without incident.

On the way to BJ's, the usual turn to pull into the lot is blocked off. Another couple of blocks ahead and I found the rear entrance I didn't know was there. I simply took the chance. I park.

I get in BJ's and grab PoTC 3 and get behind the lady on line to the only register in the electronics cage. I didn't like the defect I saw in the package so I turned maybe 12 feet to grab the other. By the time I turn around again two old ladies are in front of me with a few items. Now, there is something they want, another associate goes to get it, and the cashier stands there opening new bags waiting for this other person to come back. Meanwhile, their sale is sitting there in limbo. I'm waiting patiently (on the outside) for maybe 10 minutes and no action.

I finally open my mouth TWICE before the cashier zero's out the woman's sale in waiting to check me out. Get home with normal traffic. So, now I am home. I am looking forward to making some dinner and eating it while watching this movie for which I already waited 4 months.

I find out there is a plumbing issue and the plumber is late. Since the issue and the BD player are both on the ground floor, I am GUARANTEED interruptions if I decide to watch the movie. In short, no promise of "I'll leave you alone." from my family is sufficient because, well, I know better. I can't watch it tomorrow because I need to be someplace. With any luck, I'll see it Thursday. If that doesn't happen, Friday is not good because I need an early night to prepare for the Air National Guard on Saturday and be away for the weekend.

What next? The popcorn machine breaking? Frikken A!
