Hitchcock
Sarah and I had our first class together: ArtH 3940/5940. It’s all things Hitchcock, which is so glorious that I cannot speak. I had a little trouble staying awake during the lecture, but the film was The Lodger, which was quite good, indeed. No, Sarah and I did not make out during the film.

*Movies that we won’t be watching in class.
I saw The Birds when I was 13. It scared the bejesus out of me. I’d never seen anything so horrifying and gory in my life. Now when I look at it, I say, “Gory? Huh?”
“The Lady Vanishes” and “Strangers on a Train” are AWESOME, I tell you, AWESOME! And, of course, “Rear Window,” but everyone’s seen that.
And the movies we aren’t watching in class will be screened on weekends at my place. Did you manage to find them?
