Watched "Straight Outta Compton" with Much Younger Woman last night at Sundance. Good movie, good company. I think she was a little disappointed that I didn't want to go back to the Hill with her afterward, but I was tired and it was a school night. The good news is that her summer quarter ends this week, so she'll have much more time for shenanigans. She hung out with me at my bus stop and deliberately missed one of her own - she was going the other way - so we'd have more time to talk. Aww.
Oh yeah, the movie: It's a biopic of Niggers With Attitude. It's basically the story of a group of young men who eventually rise above a bad business and a worse neighborhood. It's also timely; the L.A. & Detroit police get a lot of unflattering screen time. I confess I'm not enough of a rap fan to have remembered the ending from the news, so I won't spoil it for you.
It's weird walking around the U District more than twenty years after I was a student there. Everything's cleaner, newer, and bigger. Given that I was waiting for a bus at 2230 I have reason to be grateful for a reduction in the neighborhood's sketchiness.
