i played hooky from work today to go see spider-man (god i almost love my job) and it was brilliant. it was as if they took my spiderman underoos inspired childhood fantasies, cubed them, made them cool and projected them onto the screen. it made sense, it was pitch perfect, and it made me proud to be american and happy to be alive. the theater parking lot was abuzz with good vibes as if everybody knew that everything was alright after seeing Spider-Man (and the Hulk trailer was neat too). i held doors open, was solicitous to cashiers and sales people, and my road rage was in remission all day long. afterwards i was at the mall paying my discover bill at sears and everybody seemed happy, probably because they played hooky too. the old ladies working the counter said that today had been very busy and that everybody was in a good mood. it was a strange, happy day, and that said, go see spider-man. now.
