Last night, Jake and I watched Hoosiers. A movie about coaching with Gene Hackman in the lead role. If you’re into sports movies, this is a true classic. It’s well acted both by Hackman and Dennis Hopper. It talks a lot about how close minded people are in small towns, a major reason I like living in the big city.
I spent the entire day writing my novel, literally. I started at 10am and wrote all the way till 5pm. It was draining but I wrote the most important chapter. I figure if I can write this chapter, I can write this book. So I think I can say that the day was successful. Yeay.
We also watched Microcosmos an amazing movie about insects. If you like animals as much as I do, you can’t miss this movie. I first saw it with my mother in London and I was so awestruck by it that I’ve been recommending it ever since. It’s truly a work of art. Trust me, you’ll love it.
I was talking to a friend the other day about the elections and he mentioned how different life would have turned out if Nixon hadn’t conceded in 1960. What would that have meant about Vietnam? Could Kennedy possibly still be alive if he hadn’t been president?
