I watched Buried last night. Could also be called "Ryan Reynolds lies in a box and gets emotional on the phone". There were some moments of excellent acting and some interesting camera work. The reviews I read talked about how you just couldn't stop watching it after you start. And it was like that, but not in a good way. It's like my attention was being held hostage. It wasn't fun. Not great dialogue (though not bad either), and only one character on the screen the whole time. The only reason to watch is to see what happens to the guy, and that didn't really pay off in the end. One review compared to to a movie called Open Water, so I'm going to skip that one too.
A lady posted in the laundry room that she's looking for someone who will walk her kid to school in the mornings. It would be nice to have something to wake up for besides shuffling over to the computer and reading the news. But I don't have any babysitting experience, and I probably don't fit the expected profile. Plus if it's raining and cold out (like it was today) I'd probably try to call in sick, and if the kid had any symptoms of illness I'd instate a 6 foot rule. I'm not your mother.
me: I probably wouldn't join your food group.
Eric: We'll have an O'Schell night! We could make hot pockets... and poptarts!

OMG that wold be awesome if you took the job to walk the kid to school! You could be his older friend/mentor and then when he becomes something great in life they'll make a movie about your friendship!
What are the odds that a kid who can't walk himself to school is going to be great? I don't want to invest my time into just anybody! I should go in with some kind fragile child-genius test the first day.
You live in a rough neighborhood, he's probably a really sweet kid whose mom has to go to work early and cant walk him herself.
Definitely not a rough neighborhood. But I'm sure he's a nice kid with a busy mother. I'd consider it if it wasn't 40 degrees and muggy out. And if it wouldn't solicit weird looks from everyone as a potential creepster.
