cnoocyStarted the day by meeting ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ukulele at the Diesel. We mapped out our various social connections, and discussed Latin. Also ran into avon and lsl.
I am definitely going to start a monthly Latin speaking group in the Boston area. I'm thinking of using meetup.com, (which already has a Latin group) but I'm concerned about the lack of control over the process it gives you. The fact that they'll unilaterally cancel your meetup if there's not 5 people signed up. Anyone want to offer advice?
Then the Hobbit and I took a walk down to Spy Pond, which was sufficiently frozen that there were people all over it. We walked out and looked at the bubbles and cracks caught in the ice. Then the ice started making odd noises and we ran away, went home and had tasty sandwiches.
Then I went to see The Triplets of Belleville with Destino beforehand.
Destino, the new Disney short based on notes for a Walt Disney/Salvador Dali collaboration, was just neat. The soundtrack was very much Cinderella-era Disney. But the visuals were very much Dali. It seemed to confuse some of the audience, judging by the nervous laughter. I'll want to watch it again, and possibly get the DVD when it's released.
Triplets of Belleville, hm. It had many points where I was delighted by crazy inventiveness, and just as many where I was just turned off by things like the portrayal of Americans as uniformly obese. I think I liked it overall, but I'm not sure.
Now I'm at home watching the end of the Superbowl. Vinatieri's lining up to kick a field goal. Made it. Overtime would have been cool.
