Saw "Changeling" with Jason 1 and JL the Obama campaigner (graduated from Stanford Law in May, started volunteering for Obama after the bar, has no job as of Tuesday, is planning to moveto DC and take his chances) yesterday night. It is a 150 minute torturestravaganza. The plot: Angelina Jolie's kid is kidnapped, and the cops are too corrupt to care that the child they return to her is not actually her son, and instead think she is crazy, and lock her away in an asylum. If you liked the parts of "Duck Tales" when Uncle Scrooge chases Huey, Dewey and Louie through a hallway of doors and HD&L are always one step of Scrooge who is checking all the wrong doors, and you as the viewer know better but are helpless with your knowledge, then you will love "Changeling"! I saw "Gaslight," from which the term "gaslighting" emerges, and felt the same way. Spare yourself the torture.
Hung out with Jason 2 for six hours watching football today. I waited 35 minutes outside in the freezing snowy weather for a crosstown bus to take me the three miles to see him because Chicago is designed for unidirectional movement toward the hub (the Loop) and has failed to create the wheel that connects those spokes.
I went to some art galleries yesterday morning. Then I compiled this list of living-well pointers on a napkin:
- If the workweek is spent being deductive, be inductive on the weekends.
- Gaze upon a large body of water at least once a day.
- Have the courtesy to sweep your pubic hairs off a public toilet seat.
Blah blah. Sorry for this post of utmost boringness.
