Minority Report

6:27pm CDT Thursday 15 August 2002

Saw Minority Report today with Marta. Pretty good movie, without too much overdoing the special effects. But how are we going to have cars drive on walls in 52 years? And why are cars driving on the left side of the futuristic roads (I think that's what I saw)? And how are his real eyeballs going to stay preserved so well in a plastic bag?

The scene with the people fighting and then stopping to let the spiders scan their retinas and then immediately go back to fighting was pretty funny.

I think the story was pretty well held together, but I don't get why the cops didn't arrest John Anderton right after Leo Crow shot himself and made it look like John had done it.

I also didn't get how they tracked down Anderton when he went to get his eyes replaced. That sandwich looked pretty gross. Good job, prop department.

That's all I can think of now.

Tonight I got to join Sean and his friend Evan for chatting and then we visited downtown to find something to do. Parked at a parking meter near a club and we didn't have to pay the meter because the time was after 10pm. I put a single penny in the meter and the meter kept the money, but didn't give us any time. Sean found a dime on the parking lot and dropped it in. We got 10 minutes for that.

The club had a long line outside and relatively few people inside. We walked around the block and then drove to Deep Ellum where several clubs reside. Walked around and ended up in a club called DNA, which charged no cover to get in. The music was pretty good "Looking From a Hilltop" by Section 25, but then they got worse and worse with something by The Cure, then U2, then Sheila E "Glamorous Life" and something I couldn't identify, then Joan Jett "I love rock and roll"

Fortunately before that song started, Sean got me off the dance floor "Evan has to leave," so I put on my Adidas sandals and headed out with them.

While dancing, I pretty much had the floor to myself. Only 1 or 2 guys, and at most 5 girls were out there at the very most. Usually it was me and about 1 or 3 girls. I never made eye contact with them; I was too busy zoning in my own world of dance to let them bother me. My sparkly toenail polish (from a few weeks ago while here at the Bibby's and Joey + her mom invited me to paint toenails with them) glittered under the random sparkly lights.. Nice.

Due to the low bpm in the songs, I kept looking up at the DJs and lifting my hands like "faster faster faster" and then fingered "2 4 2" trying to get them to play Front 242. Nothing doing.

There was a girl there with two glo-sticks tied to strings. She whirled them around all speedy gonzales, and often got them tangled up. Pretty funny.

Sean came to get me just before Joan Jett came on. I was glad to leave before such a dumb song.

We walked to the car and headed home. I washed my feet cause the soles were black.
