on then off A feeble attempt at snow this morning. News that Ann went to the hospital last night. In the mail a renewal for my season tickets for live theater, where I only recognized one play. A conversation with Carrie in the hall waiting for class to start. Discussion of Jack Maggs and then the return home. Walking back to my car with the wind in my face. Spilled plastic soda bottles scattered in the road with a distressed woman claiming them. Traffic stopped as she retrieved them. I didn't help. Two other students had already joined her and she didn't seem to appreciate their help. ... Home. Warm. Food. Phone call to Ann. She is home and feeling better. Phone call to Party Girl. Not home left message. Three thirty in the afternoon and I should be asleep. ... Somehow I knew that the movie The Mexican was going to be disappointing, but we still went to see it anyway. Neither of the two leads can act. Having a dull story that went nowhere didn't help them. Earlier this week I saw something much better, Winter Sleepers by the same director of Run Lola Run. Seeing it made me want to go back to Germany or at the very least learn more German. Most of the reviews that I read mentioned the movie The Sweet Hereafter and I would have to agree. The tone is the same in both of them.
