Happy Thanksgiving to those in the United States! During this morning’s sci-fi class, we got the opportunity to watch the movie Bladerunner, which is based on the book, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, by Philip K. Dick. I think that if I had seen the movie before reading the book, perhaps I would have thought other than what I did, but as it was I had read the book first, and my expectations for the movie were high…and were crushed. It was a mediocre movie, the soundtrack was nice, but the acting and the adaptation of the book were a bit lame.
More work on my presentation followed the sci-fi tutorial, where we had discussed Contact. Then I met up with my tandem partner for a few hours before dinner.
Dinner was fun. More or less traditional Thanksgiving fare: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, bread, corn, green bean casserole, apple pie, and, of course, tea! There were fewer people than we had expected, but it was still a good time. After dinner, I went home and finished packing things for the trip to Nürnberg. We leave at eight o’clock tomorrow morning from in-town, so morning is going to come very early.
