Sorry peeps, this post is not bag- related. (just thought I’d warn baghags :D)
I haven’t watched the Benjamin Button movie yet, but I do know now that my former classmate is part of the cast that got nominated in the SAG awards. It’s too surreal. I know, it’s not like I’m in touch with him now, but the whole idea of having had classes together a few times with a guy who went on to become a Hollywood actor is just way too surreal.
