weekend update

Let me preface my endoursement of "Good Night and Good Luck" by saying that yes, I had a couple drinks before the movie started. The department happy hour was on Friday, and by the time we got to the theater the show was sold out. We went to the restaraunt across the street and I had a couple more drinks, untill the next show. Having said that, there were times when I wanted to shout at the screen. Not in a "this sucks, I want my money back!" way. The tension of certain scenes and the arrogance of the jr. senator got me all worked up.

On a more humorous note, I had an interesting run-in at the bus stop. I was at a cafe in Capital Hill and needed to catch a bus home. I usually drive to Capital Hill, but I was having car trouble. I don't know the bus system in that neighborhood, so I walked downtown to a stop of a bus that goes past my house. That particular stop is now my least favorite in the city. It is always full of dealers even though it is daylight in the middle of downtown. As I was waiting for the bus a lady sits down beside me and starts laughing and asks me where I'm going. Heres a recreation:

Crazy Lady: "HaHa, that bus says terminal. I'm not going to the terminal. Where you going? You going to the MOtel?"
Me: "No"
CL: "You sure you ain't going to the MOtel? Ten Dollars."
Me: "No"
CL: "I'll rock your world. I do it for five."
Me: "no thanks"

then she proceeds to go on about somebody stealing shit and gettiing shot and shooting and on and on.

Hate that bus stop!
