Tonight. 8 pm. 8 Tickets Bought. Three Hours Long. P0WNED>…..

Update: Just back. First Impression: long. Second Impression: twenty page paper due tomorrow.

Update x2:: The more I think about the movie, the more I dislike things about it. I’ve really wanted to love the movie and Jackson, giddy on the concept that there are the elite few in Hollywood who do little wrong. However, I kind of do not want to see this movie again right away. Odd way of putting it, but there it is.

Massey said police were called to Winter Street initially for a loud-noise complaint. He said that when officers saw people jumping out of windows at the house, it triggered suspicion.

“They saw students jumping out side windows — there were in fact three more students identified as underage; five were summonsed for illegal possession of alcohol by a minor,” he said. “All five women who rented the apartment were physically arrested.”

Reassurences to go out to my parents who are certain this will happen at Red Brick.
