I'm in space! Space. (Spaaace!)*
Yesterday as an exercise in futility. Mom and I had planned to go to a free film showing in Villa Borghese, but when we arrived, there was a giant crowd outside and everyone was confused. There was a tiny little sign saying that there were no more seats, which was ridiculous because we were still half an hour early and no one had gone it. (Probably what happened was that the selfish bastards who'd seen the movie showing before had just stayed in their seats for a double viewing.)
Eventually someone comes out saying that there's some seats available for the 10 pm showing (instead of the 8:30 showing we'd all arrived to see). Considering that getting home in the wee hours of the night on public transportation way out there wasn't going to be easy - and we still had two hours to kill - mom and I decided to try the French cultural centre, which was also showing a free film.
We rushed through the metro and down streets to get there and what do you know? No film was showing. Instead, there was a one-man, double bass concert. It started half an hour late and the stuff he played was alright, except for the majority of the pieces where it went crazy and "look what I can do!" like improvisational jazz (except it wasn't improvised) and I just gave up on following any sort of melody.
In other news, this weekend I'm most looking forward to seeing more of Canton on Doctor Who, which explains why I had a dream in which I asked Mark Sheppard if he was in more than two episodes in Doctor Who. (He said "yes" and I said "Yes!".) Then we saw leopards and cheetahs in the bushes at night before the local Big Man with his machetes came to force the village to play a manual-dexterity game, in which the losers lost a finger - ETA: And by "lost" I mean "had chopped off with a machete" - and then I took over the gang and set things right. My dreams, they are strange.
