It made me think about the same thing when I read a little summary about this film and that's why I'm going to watch it as soon as it comes in my town (I hope it'll arrive soon). To go on the list : YKYAOL ... ...when you spend a day like this : When you wake up you see a picture of Dean and Scott hooked in front of your bed. Then at school you put your jacket in your locker whose number is 55 (like Scott's birth date , or is it 54 ? I hope no because I can't change my locker's number !). During the chemistry class your teacher begins to explain what is the quantum physics and you immediately ask :" What is the relation with the time travells ?". After that, it's biology , your teacher speaks about the genetic resemblance between the chimpanzee and the human and you think about "the wrong stuff" . Then you have to learn your English vocabulary and there are words like "Freedom", "Dream"and "to leap". The evening you go to the cinema to watch Toy Story and when the cowboy call the dog Zigzag you believe he called it Ziggy and finnaly it's what happend !! And when you come back home you watch an episode of QL because you CAN'T spent one day without watching one. Valerie opslsn@unisource.ch ¦ "More misadventures?"
