The Dark Side of Oz

I experienced the coolest and eeriest thing last night at The Bookshelf: Dark Side of the Moon synched up with The Wizard of Oz. For those who don't know, when played from track one a few seconds into the movie credits, DSOTM syncs with Oz. Some examples: when Dorothy is balancing on the fence the lyrics read 'balanced on a wave' (or something like that), then the music immediately speeds up when she falls off the fence; during Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Dorothy looks at the sky from left to right and the music switches between speakers, following her perfectly; when the Lion has a shit-fit and then continues to walk on the Yellow Brick Road with the Tin Man, et al, the lyrics read, 'the lunatic is on the path'. That's only the beginning. There are dozens of things...the dancing and footsteps match up with the drum beat, etc. The album has to be looped two-and-a-quarter times and the movie ends when the music goes silent through the second or third track during the third playing. Another theory says to play DSOTM followed by Wish You Were Here (Floyd's next album) and then the two make up the entire movie. Creepy, eh? I was pretty wrecked while watching the movie so everything was obvioulsy much funnier, but when the movie first started this guy behind us yelled 'I'M ON DRUGS!!' and everyone cracked up. There was also a very long line for snacks right before the movie started, so I doubt I was the only one!

I went to Aggie Pub after the movie to meet up with my housemates because I promised them I'd go at least once. It was sort of tollerable, although I really didn't want to be there. There was a decent mix of country and, well, good music and the combination of drinks and highness made the night better. I know I had a conversation about tennis with a girl because she everheard me talking about tennis balls. The conversation lasted about three minutes then I had nothing else to say so we went our own ways. Smooth, Dave.

This weekend was supposed to be a really fun 'getting to know more Jews' weekend, but I've caught a bug that all of my housemates had and I had to cancel. I even had my sister bring up my suit from Toronto to wear to Shul, and now I just have a suit and no purpose to wear it until College Royal. By the way, ironing a dress shit is really difficult! I kept making more creases! Can't someone create a shirt that doesn't wrinkle?

That's about all the energy I have for now.
