Last night we went to see 20 very funny (and some not so terribly funny) film shorts at a great old theatre called The Music Box on Southport Avenue about a mile from our apartment. This giant theatre has been around for so long my aunt used to see movies here as a young adult. It hosts numerous fests during the year in addition to regularly showing a lot of arty movies and classics every week. Our favorites were an existential animated rant on I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, an angry guy who sells boxes and says fuck a lot, and a cautionary tale on the hazards of not allowing products to be tested by animals. Because we saw 20 shorts, should this count as 20 films? We decided against that, but might change our minds later if we find ourselves short of movies near the end of the year.
The Cubs won big yesterday and Milwaukee lost, putting the Cubs only 2 1/2 games behind, but then they lost a squeaker today 3-2. We can only hope that Milwaukee follows suit. Right now they're losing 3-0 in the top of the ninth, so there's a good chance all that the overall standings will remain the same despite the Cubs loss today.

See, I really do read blogs! This rocks, but I'm so bummed to learn the news of Susan's illness. Damn! Why couldn't it ALL be fun and games? Well, speedy recovery and good wishes to you. Will watch for the labryinth/Rock Bottom write up whenever you get around to it. It will be one of a kind for sure.
Fondly,
Jennifer
Glad you like the blog Jennifer. Re the illness: my sentiments exactly! Sorry that you had to read it first on the blog, but there was really no good time to mention it yesterday. Labryinth post coming as soon as I get the picture!
Warmly,
Susan
