Today was interesting. I went out with a friend today, a nice fellow who graduated from CMU a few years back. We went to Gullifty's and had dinner and ended up staying and chatting for a really long time. I think we totaled nearly 3 hours of good conversation. That was nice, I haven't really had a chance to talk to someone like that in a long while. Sadly, I forgot to get the CD he was going to lend me when he dropped me off. Oh well, perhaps another time. The game, "Theif," sounds like a whole ton of fun.
I was going to do some physics homework, I was all set to go. But when I got to the good ole' MTC, I found that it had been taken over by some friends of mine and they were watching "Amelie." Sadly, from where I sat, I couldn't really see the subtitles, but fortunately, my french is still pretty good, so I could understand most of it. Lovely movie. It makes me sad though (yes, yet again, I'm a little sad). I think it's because I can identify with Amelie, where I like to make people happy but I don't want to be exalted, but in the end, no one will know, and I will be forgotten. For her though, someone finds her and it's a happily ever after ending. I don't think that's what is in store for me, and so the movie makes me sad.
My favorite lines in the movie are from the talking photograph, from when Nino asked if he knew Amelie, and the photos say, "Tu la connais toujours. Dans tes reves." Beautiful. There's something there, I can't pinpoint it exactly, but it's there.
