Quis leget haec?

Night before last Edward Scissorhands branded itself in my mind for the first time as I sat on a park bench in a theatre under the stars. Free B Movie put on by the Victoria Film Festival was a spectacular way to spend a Friday evening after a yummy picnic in the park. As twilight sprung upon us we could see bats darting through the trees- many of the peacocks in Beacon Hill Park were roosting 20 feet up in the huge trees around us, making wild crying sounds in the night like lost children.
As the movie began, the wind would blow the screen every now and then making the pastel houses swell up and shrink, everything felt so surreal.
It was a wonderful birthday celebration. I'm going to pretend it was mine.
