There are three video tapes in the Duty lounge currently: a blank one, which I fear to put into the VCR for the horrors it may contain, "Rush Hour," a pretty darn good action flick that I've seen on the USA network (or TBS, or TNT or TCM or some basic cable station) sixty times already.
That left "Ten Things I Hate About You" for tonight.
I had only seen it once or twice, and remembered it to be a pretty decent movie: it has the "chick flick" going for it, but being based on Shakespeare, it had some appeal to me: how to adapt the Bard for today. Same goes for the "innane pre-teen movie" stigma attached to it. It's actually a pretty decent film: the story moves quickly, the characters are pretty well fleshed out, and Julia Stiles...
It also has that "everything in love works out for the best" theme running through it. A guy can only hope...
I'm driving home tomorrow as soon as 6am rolls by for a week of relaxation. As much as I love La Salle, I need a break from it's idiosyncrarsies and foibles for a week. CHC/Hoyt's/Baltimore/Random People: if you see this, drop me an email or call me.
Anyhow, there are 350 teenagers around LSU North Halls tonight, and I'm on duty. Instead of 3 floors in 1 building for rounds, there are now 12 floors for rounds in 4 buildings. *sigh* It's quiet though...the only thing I've heard all night is my movie.
UPDATE: 30 Seconds Later...(really!)
*sigh*
Even as I hit "Publish," the kids decided to start screwing around...knocking on my door and running...
6am can never come fast enough.
