I feel that I must make a correction. Mara has reminded me that there were actually many movies based on The Wizard of Oz, but at least none of them tried to tell the same story - at least not without some incredibly strange twist. Return to Oz (1985) involves a young Dorothy, a mental institution, and shock therapy. I hope Doug Thomas does not sue me over a quote I’m pulling from his review:

Dorothy…is back in Kansas, where Aunt Em…is at the end of her rope: her niece is not sleeping and going on about a place called Oz. Therapy may be the answer, but luckily the scary clinic goes dark before Dorothy can be, er, cured

We’re all waiting anxiously to see if it will snow tonight and close school Monday (we only have Monday and Tuesday left!). Meanwhile, it’s 50 degrees outside, so I don’t know what the weather channel is thinking. What would be horrible though if for it not to snow, school to open, and have to eat lunch outside with tomorrows high of 29 degrees.

I was planning on writing a lot more, but I’m just too tired,

hey, it cant be that bad sitting outside with us! i mean, the temperature may be low, but its the second to last day of school… and besides, we’re all such lovely people!

and that… it was all sarcasm. please dont take anything i say seriously… except when i tell you to. i might ACTUALLY mean it, for once…

I don’t see how you can spend hours on the downtown mall at night when it’s that cold out! True, I was there for about two hours on Friday too waiting for my sister to finish her Italian Club meeting, but I had to keep hiding in buildings. I actually ducked inside the Ice Park just long enough to get a perfect view of a girl throwing up six feet in from of me.

haha, well its not so cold when the sun hasnt gone down yet. and since we did quite a bit of running (or hardy and i did), it wasnt so bad. sometimes we go to mudhouse or the teahouse…
