"Escalator Siblings"
Today I went to see "Juno" with my mom, my sister, Sara, and her mom. It was an excellent film, albeit a tad overdone. It was definitely enjoyable and witty, but as one reviewer put it, it seemed like the screenwriter "raided the Urban Dictionary in her effort to craft The Coolest Screenplay Ever." Ellen Page was absolutely incredible, though, and more than made up for the script's trite moments and the lame cinematography. Actually, for the first half of the film, she reminded me a lot of what Nova would be like pregnant.
On the way home, my mom and Sara's mom announced that they were getting married. And here we thought that our dads would tie the knot first. In any case, Sara realized that once both of our parents are engaged in their respective same-sex marriages, we will in fact be more than just step siblings--we will be escalator siblings. Then someone suggested that we should write a movie about all of this, and I realized that it would have to be called "Escalator Siblings."
Personally, I think it's a good idea. It would be filled with wacky mixed family hijinks and jokes about the Unitarian Church. Of course, this would be after we write the "Space Toaster" episode in which Hazel follows Galvin around on dates and purposefully thinks about science to distract Galvin. This was inspired by watching "Heroes" last night. Good times.
Well, I have one and a half more weeks at home. Hopefully, that'll be enough time to see everyone that I haven't seen yet. Being at college (as much as I love it) has really made me miss all you B-mont kids. Break has been nice though: I started reading some books, discovered some new music, and pandora.com. All in all, a solid few weeks.
