Movie night

Man, I miss college.

Birmingham-Southern offered a free movie night tonight for those students wishing to see The Kingdom, so thanks to my intrepid friend Roy, we got in on BSC's nickel. Aside from the kids chatting in the back row during the climax of the film, the evening was quite nice. The movie's great, much better than I'd thought it would be, as I tend to catch a glimpse of helicopters and run toward another selection. There's just enough violence without being gratuitous, and the ending is appropriate without being overly patriotic or sentimental. Certainly worth the money we paid for it, if not more...

It's always fun to rehash high school, now that we're safely past it, and Roy's stories are so much better than mine. At least we could agree that physics was a subject of some concern and that Mr. Fleming's just about the coolest guy ever.

Tomorrow begins Girls' Weekend in Vicksburg, and I am so psyched for a road trip. It's also Northwestern's homecoming weekend, and not only does Jen get to ride on a float, she gets to ride on a float in a parade led by Clinton Kelly of What Not to Wear fame. I wonder if the stuffed eagle ever arrived...
