School was a fiasco last nite. My beautiful class was over-booked (40 students enrolled instead of 25), and I was #1 on the waitlist. I was forcibly asked to leave the premises. "But can I make a case for my staying?" "No, please leave!" So that was that. But I hung around afterwards, like in the movies, and talked to Dr. Knutson. Cracked some jokes, got buddy-buddy, and he said yes I may return on Thursday to see if the class has lessened up any, and he may possibly add me. That's nice.
So I was free earlier than expected, and Amy and I got to go see The Island in Folsom - which is the last place on earth that felt obliged to show it. It's strange that all the women in my family *loved* that movie. I enjoyed it, but felt this bit of distance creeping between my senses and the movie screen, which didn't help me to feel the same way about it as they do. Anyway, it was Michael Bay, so pretty typical to that, with a cool Logan's Run/The Matrix-esque storyline. The plot was the best part. And we all love Ewan and Scarlett, is it possible to not?
