Well, I have been quite lazy with the updates lately. CU got caught having sex in school. Was put on house restriction then punched all of the male staff of the unit at least once including my supervisor. So now he has assault charges pending. Next he talked one of the other residents into giving him his psp which he traded at school for a cell phone.

 

The rest of them have been fairly stable at the moment. S came in the unit election day and announced that he voted for Lincoln. Then PM came in with lots of enthusiasm for an autistic and said that he voted for McCain. I like to think that given how limited his verbal skills are that McCain was just easier for him to say then Obama.

 

On of Alan's aunts died last night. He went through in the car after picking me up from work last night on how I didn't need to go with him to the funeral but of course I'm going. Then he made me dinner and rubbed my back on the futon. He talked about a recent conversation he had with his Dad. Alan felt a bit sorry for not visiting his aunt in the hospital. But given his low self esteem at times he can't see how anyone would want to see him. His dad told him when you love someone you know they have flaws but it doesn't matter. It was then I kissed Alan and told his father was a very wise man.

 

So I watched Fritz Lang's Metropolis finally over the weekend. It's about a very dark future were the workers live underground and the corporate elite live on the surface with wonderful Gothic skyscrapers. It has loads of religious references including the seven dying sins. With special effects far beyond it's time. Even Hitler is reported to have liked it.

'when you love someone you know they have flaws but it doesn't matter'
One of the best descriptions of love I've heard.

Did you enjoy metropolis? I heard that about Hitler before i watched it, and kind of ruined the film for myself by trying to find elements of it which would appeal to a fascist...Instead of taking it in properly.

Also...That thing about S voting for Lincoln? That made my day.

Hope your well.

Sorry for the late reply. Alan's been on vacation and the boys and etc. I just checked my email and my best friend found a guy then broke up with him. Life just passed me but then with Joanna's that happens quickly. As for Metropolis I think it's worth watching. Even mentions the seven deadly sins among other religious references. Oh, I just saw another one called Ben X on an Asberger's kid. It made me cry right in the theater. Maybe because I know people like the charterer its really good.

Anyway, Hope you're doing alright as well.
