(no subject)

so ross and i got the dates mixed up. his family descends on us next weekend, not this weekend.
there is a part of both of us that would like it to just be over with.

yesterday we hung out with jerad and rachel and then went out to see The Illusionist. it was good. very very good. edward norton does a fabulous job creating a character with body language and posture - sure he talks too, but a character like his has to remain mysterious, so you wind up taking a lot more in from how he moves. it was totally different from the other characters i've seen him play, and totally fabulous. the writing of this movie is wonderful and the music is all done by phillip glass, which works very well for the film, although it is not the sort of thing i would listen to in my free time outside the movie. it is done by a little known producer and edward norton is the biggest name on the list, so it's not getting nearly the press it deserves. it's a great love story and a great mystery story and i highly recommend it.
