It is 12:22 a.m. and I am back from an evening with FG's Other Sons:Quiet Guy, Musical Mastermind, and The Cat. We went to the nonprofit movie theater downtown to see a film called "We Need to Talk About Kevin."
I am never surprised at the movie theater. I haven't ever found myself taken aback at any plot twists or surprises. This movie was no different- I was pretty good about being a step or two ahead of the action, and just this once I was glad. Because this movie was deeply, deeply unsettling. It was very well done, but it left me stunned. I'm still sort of processing my thoughts about it.
I'm really enjoying getting to know these three boys. They're really lovely people. Unfortunately I think Quiet Guy might be scarred for life after this adventure. The poor kid probably had no clue what he was getting into.
If anything, this evening was a reminder that getting out and doing things is actually a good thing. People are nice. Going places with friends is fun and exciting.
Also, going to a fancy nonprofit indie theater made me feel super artsy and cool, especially because I was wearing a wrap skirt. I could practically feel myself drowning in the waves of culture.
Just to assure I'm not plagued with nightmares, I'm going to go watch some Buffy. Night, all.
P.S. an enormous congratulations to Big Funny Kid, new state speech champion. His OID placed fourth and his school won the meet for the sixth year in a row. Speak on, Yakking Raiders.
