Saw Spellbound tonight... still traumatized. It wasn't that great, plus it was disheartening. At least I picked the right kid to make it to the top. Suck it, 3XK. I also spelled chateaubriand, which stumped 3XK. Woop.

I finally saw Big Fish on the tech movie channel tonight. Proof that good things come to those who wait:
"The scenes at Auburn were originally supposed to be shot on location on the campus of Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama, but the school officials asked for script approval and the production didn't have time to wait so they filmed the scenes at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama instead."
It's disappointing to see shots from Huntingdon when you expect to see home. Good movie, nonetheless.

Crazy... Everytime my friend Steph goes to Paris to visit her (oh la la) French boyfriend, something scary happens. She went at Christmas, Air France cancelled flights to the US because of terrorist threats. There were "specific threats" when she flew at Spring Break. She's supposed to fly today, and of course, there's a Deadly Paris airport roof collapse. The poor girl hates flying as much as I do. But I give her props for courage, since I would never fly (not that I do) if it seemed fate was out to get me.
