Alibelle, is it out on video yet? I want to see that movie, but I'm pretty sure that I missed it in the theaters.

Yup.

Theo, remember when we went and saw that movie in Framingham? There were posters for Shall We Dance out then. I remember you telling me how wonderful the Japanese version was and how much you wanted to see the remake.

Oh, I see. Sight unseen of the remake. Got it.

It's nice to get such a rounded education.

I often found that I learned more from the professors attitudes and approaches to what they were talking about, than I did from their words themselves, if that makes any sense. The words, the content, I could mostly get from a book or several, but the personality behind the words, the ways of thinking and seeing them formed in front of my eyes, are thing sI could never read well in a text, and needed a person to pass them along. Am I making any sense?

how it is superior in every way because of A, B, C and 1, 2, 3.

Now, see, if it were the article I'm reading, it would be because of green and soup, or possibly note and bottle, I'm not clear on that yet. I have the professor's e-mail address, and he urged us to use it, but I don't even know what to ask, other than "I dooooooooon't understand aaaaaaaaaaanything!", which, well, can't guarantee much of an answer. [Edit: I hadn't seen either of the movies, of course]

That makes absolutely perfect sense. And I totally agree. Which is partially why I'm hating my psychology course this semester. The profs and my personalities just are not mixing well at all.

Nilly, not only was that explanation about professors sensical, if was very eloquent. And pretty.

Okay. I think I will try this bed thing one more time.

Good night, Alibelle!

Thanks vw and Alibelle (and also good night!).

Gronk.

(Yes, this is my usual Thursday nine o'clock gronk. Which I'm now hearing to the tune of "One O'Clock Jump," except that it's a gronk, so I really can't dance yet.)

I loved the original "Shall We Dance", but haven't seen the remake. I think I may see it and try to think of it as a wholly different movie rather than a remake, in the hopes that that will allow me to like it on its own merits rather than comparing it to the original.

(eta: is this the day you teach the early class, Hil?)

I just made the dog an omelet.

Well, not really - I poured a carton of egg stuff into a container and threw it in the microwave. As usual, I got completely caught out by the dog chow running out last night. I really need to start stocking up on that shit so that I don't go through this every couple of weeks.

My dog wants to come live with you , brenda. He's appalled at how infrequently we have eggs.
