enthusiastickHappy Beltane to everyone. I meant to post that yesterday, but LJ was exceedingly uncooperative last night (apparently I'm not the only person who had that problem.)
Friday night![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
war_pug took me to MIT to see a screening of a movie called 15 Park Avenue followed by a Q&A with the film's creator Aparna Sen. The movie was OK I guess, although afterwards in discussion both war_pug and I confessed that, not being Indian, we felt we lacked cultural context. There were any number of things the predominantly Indian audience responded to that we did not. Also a couple of the characters didn't speak in English, ostensibly the language of the film, and their dialogue wasn't subtitled.
In other news, I wrote an e-mail topax_malificus recently and told him I will not, in fact, be joining rollick, spreadnparanoia and bobbler for the final arc of his vaunted Mage game. For those of who haven't yet caught up with the news, I am not moving back to Chicago as I originally planned. I'm not ruling it out entirely; I still miss the city and the friends I had (EDIT: and have) there. But its not in the cards in the near future. Every so often I have to resist the siren call of just getting in my car, driving west and never looking back. But, to paraphrase rollick, I've put some roots down here in Boston. Nothing set in stone, but for the time being, I'm staying.
