God help me, I almost have enough Alan/Ray songs for a playlist.

Went to see Martin Sheen speak last night. Got there so late I was in the last possible row. My head was up against the tech booth. I kid you not. It sounded like Martin Sheen, though, so I guess I'll take their word for it. He was a good speaker--told funny stories about his bad memory and such--and whoever writes his stuff is pretty damn clever. There were even Oscar Wilde references. But in the end, his message boiled down to "be a good person"/"war is bad." Honestly, I don't know that you can expect much more from an actor and it was said very prettily and I discovered he was from Ohio, so it wasn't what I'd call a waste. The seats did make my legs cramp.

Paper due Tuesday for autobiographical/family films, but after that, I'm done with the class. Joshua Braff visits on Saturday, so I'm trying to whizz through his book this week. It's not going so badly--it's a pretty amusing read.

It was a pretty good speach, I'd think. However, what you missed was Amy Guttman being very VERY odd... or ditzy, at the least. Frankly, it was almost as funny as Martin Sheen himself.

I left when she was presenting him with checks and talking...in a very strange manner. Did it get better?
