The Great Gatsby

Today was the first day The Great Gatsby was in theaters in Argentina. Because so many of us love the book, we decided to make an outing of it and headed to the 9:40pm showing. There happens to be a Starbucks in the mall that the movie theater is in and the whole thing happens to resemble something that you would associate with Florida. We were quiet happy to say that we were in the US for a bit there. So we drank our coffees and went to the movie. Nick Carraway went to dinner with Daisy and Tom. Tom and Myrtle brought Nick to their apartment. He was personally invited to a Gatsby party. He met Meyer Wolfsheim. Gatsby had Jordan ask Nick to invite Daisy to tea. Gatsby had Nick's house put in tip top shape with entirely too much fluff. Daisy was to come to tea at 4:00. The clock was counting down the minutes. Gatsby was getting nervous and it was taking the form of annoyance. He said he couldn't wait all afternoon and was going to leave.

And the power went out.

We waited and it didn't come back. So we got ticket vouchers and will go back to see the movie all the way through. It was so funny in part because it was such perfect timing.
