Of (Not) Snow Days and Movies

I saw Rope tonight, by Alfred Hitchcock. It was really, really good, about two guys (who are, according to practically everyone on IMDB, totally gay, but not implied cause it was a taboo in the late 40's) who plan the perfect murder. One is obsessed with the murder and making it as "dangerous" as possible, inviting the victim's family and friends to a dinner party following the murder. The movie was made in only ten shots (!) and is supposedly shot in real time. I really enjoyed it though I can't see myself watching it again except in the far future. It was kind of gimmicky, though maybe I would be interested in watching it to see the ten different takes.

I also got Roman Holiday (with Audrey Hepburn--I tried to watch Breakfast at Tiffany's a few times, but never did...this one just seems a little more appealing to me, plus it's her "Oscar-winning best!" according to the dvd box) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which I have wanted to see since forever but haven't gotten the chance to. I'm really excited for both of those.

Today I had a lovely experience when driving into the parking lot! The stupid kids always walk on the wrong side of the road when going in so I can't turn right, and today I was trying to turn right closely so I didn't hit anyone and I drove on the curb! And of course, with all the snow (it's been in the negatives so we've had snow for three days) I couldn't get my car off of it. The policeman had to come over and help me get my car off. Really embarrassing, hopefully no one I know saw me! Or at least understood, haha. I'm usually better than that, I swear.

Anyway, two two-hour delays in a row! Then again, today every single public school in Hamilton or Marion counties had a snow day EXCEPT us. I saw on the news. Even IPS, Broad Ripple, Pike...all of them. Maybe the Lawrences had school, I'll check with Becca. Not fair though!
