Aim above morality!

[mindplay]

Maude paraphrasing Thoreau:

"It's best not to be too moral. You cheat yourself
out of too much life. Aim above morality.
If you apply that to life, you're bound to live it fully."

Ruth Gordon, as Maude,
Harold and Maude

Off to hear Bud Cort speak tonight followed by a Harold and Maude screening at the Castro Theater.

Oh wow - that's going to be excellent! Do a follow-up post, eh?

I'm jealous. That's a great movie. You know what I'm even more jealous of? The 25th anniversary of Better Off Dead playing after it with stars Diane Franklin and Curtis "Booger" Armstrong!!! Tell me you are staying for that.

Interesting.. I didn't know about that. I was thinking of stopping by for rawk at the eagle after H&M.

Um, you're kidding right? Is that really happening? And if so, do you think I could get there in time if I got on a plane now?

If I weren't feeling so crappy, I would so be there at 9:45 for this event in cinema.

Did I mention that the director/writer Savage Steve Holland will also be speaking? Because you know...this will be epic.
