Well, another week goes by. It started well enough: I appear to finally be finding a way back into the universe, back from wherever it is I went after we came back from England. One of those places where nothing happens for a long time and you don’t know what to do about it. Call it Gaffa. Thank you to those who.
But! The last 48 hours! Have been great! They have included:
- X2 Saw it with Pablo last night. It was a date. We had much much fun. I think I’m going to see it again with John tomorrow night, actually. That, of course, will not be a date.
- Avery came home from the hospital today. Yay!
- Matrix Reloaded This was also a good time. It lacked the mindbending newness of the first—but then, how could it not? This one often felt like the first one, only turned up to 11. 12, maybe even. And yes, there are a number of things to gripe about (like Morpheus’ utterly-beyond-turgid dialogue, or the way the Merovingian’s uneven acting often made him seem as though he’d wandered in from Mel Brooks’ parody version of Matrix Reloaded). X2 was a better film. But despite it all I had fun. I’m sorry Paul wasn’t with us.
- Here’s what Merovingian means, by the way. Short answer: refers to a Frankish dynasty of the 5th-8th centuries. I knew it had to mean something.
- Dinner with Erika, Sari, and John after tonight’s movie. I’d missed them, having been out of the universe for a while.
Anyway, that’s my news. How’s things with you?
