6 is a good, round time. 6 it is, unless someone lobbies for 5:30. It’s okay, **olives**. I’ll eat (a) pizza in your honor. I’d blame \*\*freckafree \*\*if I were you. ---

Hey, [Milk](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1013753/) is playing at the Michigan Saturday night. How about we grab pizza first and then go see it? ---

That’s possible. Let’s leave that as a game-time decision. ---

Milk is playing at 6:50 and 9:40, so we might want to make Pizza House by 5ish if we want to catch the first one and have time to linger over sweet things afterward. ---

I’m helping here! Look at me with the detail-finding and all, and look at you with your loony perspective over there, sheesh! 😛 ---

Okay. Here’s the finalized plan. Dinner at 5:30. The table is under “Cecil”. I’ll have to make some kind of arrangements relatively soon, as well. After that, we can hit the movies. I’m sure that there will be plenty of movies playing at the appropriate time if not everyone wants to see Milk (I’ve heard it’s really good, though). Personally, I think I’d like to see Rochelle, Rochelle (it’s about a young woman’s erotic adventures from Milan to Minsk). ---

I’m cool with seeing a movie, I’d be up for seeing Milk, Frost/Nixon, or Doubt. ---

Those are also my top three choices, although I don’t know if Gilbert Arenas wants to go with us. You’ve been drafted to send out the PM to the (likely) interested parties. Congratulations! ---

I’ll try and be there, but if the roads get too bad (we’re getting a fair amount of snow right now), I may have to back out at the last minute. ☹ ---

O hai! I’m down for dinner, but then I have to go back to homework. Unless the snow continues like this; at the current rate I’ll likely be snowed in by six. ---

C’mon people. We’re Michiganders! Do we back down and cower in fear at the sight of a few feet of snow? Well, yes, we do. But we’re also known to risk life and limb for the chance of having a little fun. We’re also known for adding an ‘s’ to store names, and declaring our love for Vernors. So, see? We’re all a little crazy… …I kinda lost my train of thought. What was my point? ---

_You_ may be Michiganders. _I_ was born and raised in California. Seriously, I’ll probably be there. I hate staying inside all day.
