Wishing makes things happen

alandreaSo I went to see 300 last night. It was not quite as manly as I expected it to be, but that’s because it’s been too built up. Everywhere you go people are like “300, it’s the epitome of testosterone,” so you get these high expectations. There was quite a lot of sex and violence though, and the special effects were very well done, so I approve.
I have to say though, seeing Xerxes, I expected him to have a really effeminate voice. Also, there’s a scene where Leonidas is just standing there naked, so R pipes up with a loud “What the hell?” and the guy behind us explains quite matter of factly “It is the warrior stance”. Good times were had by all, including almost theatre wide laughter when I blew my nose (luckily not during the movie itself) because I sound like a fog-horn.
Before the movie we went to out to the woods. I told the girls to stay in the car, but did they listen? No. So they went into the woods while I stayed as far away from nature as physically possible and hoped that they’d get attacked by deer. Lucky day for me. A herd of, as I hear it, twenty deer comes barreling towards them. As R was trying to pee. (I myself remain completely ignorant as to why anybody would want to urinate in the woods, I mean, toilets were available)
In any case, I’m sure the neighbourhood appreciated our presence, the terrified screaming of two girls followed by my absolutely evil laughter, then silence. This is made even more pertinent by the fact that our school is right beside these woods and most of our teachers had stayed late that day.
Anyways, they came running back to me and the car and we went to Zehrs to argue about the merits of different cheeses for half an hour. Life is fun.
