Not Dead

[stdesjardins]

I went to sixteen movies over the course of six days at this year's Silverdocs festival. It would have been seventeen, but my mother accidentally didn't get tickets to one of the movies I wanted to see, Old Partner, and I didn't feel like waiting in the standby line. My mother did wait for a standby ticket, and reports that it was very good, and in fact it won one of the festival awards.

They show the award-winners and a few other favored films on Monday, and I thought about going to see Old Partner this afternoon, but I was just a bit sated with films, and decided to take the day off.

If I had gone to see Old Partner, I would have left the theater around 4:50, and very likely have been on one of the Red line trains which crashed today.

So I figured I should let everyone know I'm still alive.

I, for one, am glad you are.

Glad you're not dead!

It's heartening to see such unanimity on this point. Although, since only two people have commented, it's possible that the dissenters are merely remaining silent out of courtesy.

Or some of us have had a bad day and am just getting to LJ. I'm glad you're not dead!

I'm glad the 16 movies in 6 days didn't harm you, either. I remember seeing a bunch in one weekend in Toronto years ago ... maybe 8?

I, too, am quite glad you aren't dead.
Wow. 16 movies in 6 days. I couldn't do that.
