ciroccojWent out to the Rideau Centre after my Torts exam yesterday, as a treat to myself. Went to Grand & Toy and found out a horrible, horrible thing: Schaeffer doesn't make $10 cheapo fountain pens any more. They only make the $135 jobbies. I love fountain pens, but at that price, they better come with a bidet. And considering the fact that I buy about one a year because I keep losing them... no. I don't think so.
::sigh::
Also went to Chapters. Found "Take The Red Pill" and immediately thought of Chris. It's a bunch of essays on religion, philosophy, social commentary, etc in The Matrix. Considering the fact that Chris must have seen that movie no less than 200 times, I think he'd get a real kick out of it. I know I did, just from the intro by David Gerrold and the first essay, on Jesus imagery. Really, really cool.
Memo to self: someday I must read the Beethoven/Escher/some mathematician book. And "A Brief History of Time."
Also found two books that made me so wish I could run to my e-mail and share with Leslie. One was a pop-up Frank Lloyd Wright book (the Guggenheim just rises before your eyes - it's really cool) and a "The Making of Chicago" book. Leslie loved architecture - I wouldn't know Lloyd's buildings from a hole in the wall, but she was very much into it. I remember how tickled she was to find out that Sam Waterston initially enrolled in architecture school in college - I found it an interesting factoid, but it really thrilled her.
As for the Chicago book... I kept thinking, man, she would have both loved and hated this book. It went into the background of the play and musical (it's based on some real celebrity murderess cases in Chicago in the 20's) and had all sorts of interesting and amusing and thought provoking stuff about the play and the nature of celebrity and what it says about our society and yadda yadda yadda... but it only mentioned Jerry Orbach once.
Ooh, that would've made Leslie see red. There was one picture of him on stage with Roxie on his lap, with a little caption (Jerry Orbach and *** in original stage version) and then nothing else. They even had pictures of past Velmas, Roxies and Billy Flynns (among them Liza Minelli and Bebe Neuwirth) and he wasn't there - not even mentioned.
Anyway. Must see that movie. Especially now that Chris is willing to see it with me. When I complained to Leslie that I probably wouldn't see it for a long time because Chris isn't into musicals, she told me "Bryan says to tell Chris there's lots and lots of cleavage". To which Chris replied, "Oh, it's a boobie movie? Why didn't you say so in the first place?" :) :)
Aah, women like the simple things in life. Like men.
So. Chicago. After my case comment is done.
Now. On to the last part of the first half of my first year of law school, the last two assignments for Crim.

But of course!
BTW, congratulations on being done with school this year - I'm looking forward to that moment so much I can almost taste it.
It tastes like cinammon, oddly enough.
