Here’s what I wrote on our white board about Boyhood, now go see it!
So you hear a movie is really good and you’re like, how good could it possibly be? Then you watch Boyhood and you’re like- whoa, this is really good like really really good. You know? Like good like * weird good like Cloud Atlas good or like Lost in Translation good. Dan says its not really boring its just a movie about living and no other movie is like that. You know?
*on the white board I wrote the words “call a plumber & oil guy” where the star is and some interpreted it as a part of the Boyhood review although that was not my intention. I just ran out of space.
An old Sesame Street sketch features Ernie and Cookie Monster explaining how to tell them apart. They have some trouble since they both have eyes, wiggly fingers, and a smile. Just before a passing anything muppet correctly identifies them, Ernie moans that he can’t even tell who he is! “I might be you!”
Cookie answers, “NO! You no can be me. ME me. You must be you.” Just found it funny.
I had another of my interesting dreams. In it I was trapped underwater in danger of drowning, until a mer-prince gave me a small ring of metal to keep under my tongue that would allow me to absorb oxygen from the water- like a fish. I suppose this is a direct correlation to the migraine pill I needed the day before. It’s a dissolvey thing that goes under that tongue and it did save me from drowning in pain. I’d forgotten to restock one in my work bag and three people stepped up to help get it to me.
