seems like the best way to handle this

It'd be in the evening, of course, but I'm not sure just when yet. I'm gonna shoot for 8:00, which should be no problem, but maybe it'll have to be 7:00. It's only an hour long, and again, pizza!

I'd love to come, but I have classes Monday through Thursday evenings starting next week. I am teh suck. But I'll be there in spirit!

Also, the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack fucking rules.

But your spirit can't take notes and eat pizza! It just can't! I've tried!

And yes, yes it does. I really need to own it.

You're right, it can't. :( Wait... you've tried? How?

In keeping with the Daniel Day-Lewis theme of your music and icon, I finally saw There Will Be Blood last week. I really liked it up until the milkshake part. What the fuck was up with that? He instantly turned into you, making some random comparison that nobody in their right mind would have come to on their own- complete with flailing! But yeah, other than that part, I'd love to watch it again. I do loves me some Daniel Day-Lewis.

I dunno, I just wanted to say that. :)

What?? You liked it UP UNTIL the milkshake part?! Oh my dear, no, I totally disagree, I think that scene was the perfect culmination of his character and relationship with Eli. That was his utter and total PWNED moment. How did he "turn on you?"

Also, the milkshake line is based in real-life! Found via google:

"I must admit to you where that came from," Anderson says giddily, noting that the eccentric metaphor comes straight from the congressional transcripts of the 1920s "Teapot Dome" scandal, in which New Mexico Republican Senator Albert Fall was convicted of accepting bribes for the oil-drilling rights to public lands in California and Wyoming from several oil-industry fat cats (including Edward Doheny).

"I think it was Albert Fall, who was asked to describe drainage before Congress," Anderson continues. "And his way of describing it was, 'If you have a milk shake and I have a milk shake, and my straw reaches across the room...' I'm sure I embellished it and changed it around and made it more Plainview. But Fall used the word 'milk shake,' and I thought it was so great. It was mad to see that word among all this official testimony and terminology — a fucking milk shake. I get so happy every time I hear that word."

So no, I urge you to check it out again. I actually needed to see TWBB a couple times before it really sank in. The first time, it was like, "... what the FUCK did I just see??"

Okay, that makes it better. Especially Anderson's phrasing, "a fucking milk shake." I guess I do need to see it a couple more times (oh darn. twist my arm.) to really get it because it definitely was a WTF moment.

And that kid who played Eli really impressed me because he was nothing like the kid from Little Miss Sunshine. And he was kindof creepy.
