"Umm.. 'scuse me Mrs. McGillicutty...
...Can you tell me where I can find Beowulf?"
"Beowulf?"
"Yes. I'm doing a book report on Beowulf"
"Ok. Go through the door on your left. You will enter another hallway with 56,892 shelves. Go down row #3,724, you will want to veer right, but don't veer right, veer to the left. At the end of the row you'll find another door. You must go down the spiral staircase. You will come to a brick wall. Press the third brick from the bottom and the door will open diagonally. Then you must cross the lake of fire. Get into the boat to cross - If you rented a helmet, the bats wont get you. Get out of the boat. Then you must go through the labyrinth. Go to the left, the right, the left, the left, the right, the left, past the third mummy. Go through the cave, over the hill, out of the woods, around the mountain, across the plain. You will come to a log cabin. Knock on the door three times, the door will open and there will be Beowulf himself!" ~ Jim David (funny guy, true story: http://www.jimdavid.com)
Anyway, all of that said to say this:
Last night I (along with my beau, my roomie, her beau and her folks) went to see Beowulf.. in 3D no less. Insanely fun - very well done and the 3D stuff made me jump more than once by a bunch. And there was a moral to the story too, kids:
Angelina Jolie is fucking hot.
In other news - he and I went to this really neat Dr. Seuss thing this afternoon (http://arton5th.com/events.html#seuss). Not only did I get to see some beloved favorites, but they had the actual "secret" art there - including the sculptures. And, nearly everything in the exhibit was for sale. Now, the cheapest piece was one of 5000 authentic lithographs and unframed it was $295, but it was neat to imagine owning a piece of his amazing work. They even had my favorite piece there "A Plethora of Cats". And I could have taken it home for just $15,000.... *sigh*
