Friday the 20th was an interesting day. In the morning I had the interview with Ms. Rieder (VP of Sales Managing, Smith Barney of Citibank in San Francisco), and I got the internship! It was a short get to know each other interview, and I’m really looking forward to working there. Right afterwards, Patrick came by and we watched Star Wars Episode III at the Metreon around the corner. The extra dollar or so for the Digital Projection was definitely worth it. I could really tell the difference. Oh and the movie was freaken awesome, too. It really tied the entire movie together fairly well. I felt the actors did what they could with what they were given… some of those lines were really cheezy, and there isn’t much you can do with them. Samuel L. Jackson finally dukes it out with Palpatine and that was cool to see, too. Then back to Berkeley to see Christine after her graduation. Right after that, I went to watch Leonard Bernstein’s Mass at the Paramount Theatre-Oakland with Angie so she could wear her turquoise dress. The view wasn’t all that, it was in the very back of the balcony. But I’m glad she got to wear it and I am very glad I was the one that took her there, for obvious reasons. Thanks for being a cool date, Angie, although I doubt you can remember most of it haha.
Some excerps:
God said, Let there be light
And there was light
And it was good
And it was good
It was so god damn good
God said, thou shalt be meek,
And so we are, just once a week.
It was a play about Catholic mass. It didn’t make sense a lot of the time. But it was really different. The singers acted out a few parts, there was an orchestra in place, along with guitar and modern instruments like the keyboard, along with a complete ensemble of children and adult choir.
