Million Dollar Baby
I thought I would get out of the house for a few hours and see a movie (since obsessively reloading the center page of the conference or checking how many people are logged in every few minutes is not really healthy.) Million Dollar Baby, the new Clint Eastwood/Hilary Swank/Morgan Freeman flick was playing down the street and I've been eyeing it for a few days now (but talking myself out of going and staying home and working instead). But at 6:30 I IM'ed Emy and asked her advice about whether I should go. Her comment that Rush & crew were protesting the film decided it for me and I ran down there for the 6:45 showing.
It was NOT what I expected (since I hadn't actually bothered to read any of the buzz, just knew that there was buzz) but it's a good movie worth seeing. Only had to hide for a few scenes. I'd recommend it (not to you Mom) but its not the escapist sports-flick rah-rah thing I was expecting at all.
