i’m having a really hard time pulling the metaphorical trigger on something, and i don’t know why.
its really frustrating.
in other news…
i’m really hoping that Auburn’s misadventures on the field are more a product of “lack of depth” than coaching. that seems to be it, considering how well they played in the first five games. penalties, also. everyone knows penalties will get you everytime, but that was just awful, especially that weird bizarro play on Auburn’s last drive.
Where The Wild Things Are was absolutely magnificent. it was everything i could’ve hoped for, and then some. a true masterpiece. the bits that pulled on the heartstrings absolutely ripped my heart out, the scary bits genuinely conveyed a sense of danger. and the fun parts were fun. favorite part? not resorting to fart humor or gags to get laughs. its not often (if ever) these days that “kid movies” are humorous without resorting to those tricks. don’t get me wrong; i love a good fart joke, but it would’ve felt wholly inappropriate in the context of what the film was. worst part? the hipsters in the theater. there were a couple of genuinely rude ones. thankfully, i was able to ignore most of it and enjoy myself.

tomorrow (er, today, Sunday), we travel to Montevallo for a wedding. its been a very long time since we’ve both been on campus (yes, the wedding is on campus); the last couple of times i’ve visited, it was simply for College Night or Lambda Chi ritual (so, limited to a very small space under the cover of night). we’re bringing the camera along to hopefully squeeze in some maternity shots (!!!!). it’ll be fun to do those pictures back in the town where we first met, all those years ago, on Brooke Quad for a “Back To School” UM-sponsored party. fun fact: the great bluegrass band Rolling in the Hay was playing the night we met.

g’night.
