The phone rang.
I picked it up. “Hello?”
“This movie SUCKED!” It was Mark. He had just finished
watching AI,
the Stanley Kubrick as finished by Steven Spielberg “Down, not across”
feel good film of 2001. “We wasted FOUR bucks on this
piece of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!”
“Um … Mark … ”
“And it's ALL YOUR FAULT! You said this film was
good but depressing.”
“It was! I found it horribly depressing, but it was a well done film.
There was a reason I didn't come over and watch it again.”
“It's still your fault!”
“Didn't you listen to Spring?”
“It sucked XXXXXXXXXX,” said Gerald. I could
hear him yelling over the phone.
“Gee, I'm sorry guys,” I said. “I thought I warned you.”
“It's still your fault!”
“I'll make it up to you. How about we watch The Talented Mr. Ripley on my
dime? … Hello? … Hello? … ” He hung up.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
