Just Like Heaven.... Just like an apartment in San Francisco.


Once more, I have done one of those things that makes me proud to be a teacher. I made a long weekend where there wasn't one. While I would normally be asleep, I can set hear amidst the glow of my Mac (If my Mac is my baby would that make me a Mac daddy?) chatting with friends about all the gossip and chic flicks that I happen to get pulled into... In fact we guys can get pulled into a lot of stuff and are usually motivated by the fact that we get pulled by the thing we like to get pulled the most. Chic flick now and I get the chic later when we get home.

Right now, you are probably wondering what in the world it is I am referring too.... I saw a movie tonight when I would normally be sleeping next to my weary, wide awake, tired of all my nightly nasal noise pollution, wife... We were at the movies because we can sleep in tomorrow while our kids at school rope up their substitutes by the ankles and pull out the video games that they normally stash in their locker.... I think... Yeah. I would not know anything about how often they may sneak an occasional x box or play station to school. They fit nicely into the back pack. What makes things work well for them is the new PSP that they can fit in the pocket of their pants. What is a PSP anyway... Is it a new form of ESP.... What could it be? Is it the ability to see woman through their clothes? Porno Sensory Perception... like x-ray vision or something.... But there are no bones and innards to be dealt with as in your traditional form of xray.... Sony is pretty smart. Wait a minute. I got off track there. (For those of you who might not know, PSP is Playstation Portable and not some perverts dream toy though some teenagers would like that idea).

The movie I saw tonight was... Just like Heaven... Now I know that heaven looks like an apartment in San Francisco. Seriously. It was a good flick... The plot is unbelievable and full of inconsistencies (I always wondered how someone could walk through doors and not fall through floors) as would be expected in a fantasy of this kind. But, it will make one think about what it means to make life worth living. The acting will get you emotionally invested to a point that you think that what is going on is crucial and you will be very disappointed if this unbelievable plot does not work out. I even got welled up.... It was good writing and pretty good acting. No emmys, but worth the trip.

Pardon any spelling errors, I discovered that being new at this I don't know how to find the spell check... HELP ME.
Updated... Thanks to my friend Jim, I was able to work on titles. Thanks to "Girl on the Blog", I found the spell check button. Thanks to my wife I made things more clear. I just need to figure out how to make a blog a little shorter, precise, and punchy.... as I continue to add more and more and more to this one.
