Sunday night

This morning we went to see Wimbeldon. It was a good film, although horribly predictable. Kirsten Dunst cannot act out of paper bag. We then played a game called Sequence at Allie Burke's house whose husband was an ASU football player in the late 80s. After that we bowled and I did vocabulary for the kids from Into the Wild.

Chris McCandless walked into Alaska in the early 1990s and died. It's a strange strange trip to starve to death in the wild within miles of a cabin filled with meat. His Thoreau and Tolstoy lying near his decomposed body. My students are now reading this, and they really connect to it, as we are halfway through the twentieth anniversary of 1984, and with the patriot act has really helped the Big Brother concept come to fruition.
