Why, I can see a championship fight right in my living room. Or I can rent a good movie for a couple of bucks and watch it on my VCR.5 U7 o* L9 f0 u# G

Ten different movie theaters, and a whole lot of people to watch, you know? I can, like, spend the whole day there, you know?9 C+ T' Z% ?: G3 x; H J% h$ ]

Sure, I used to be a typical mall rat hanging around watching the crowds, especially the girls. But then I went out for basketball, made the team and I don’t have time to waste anymore!
