better luck tomorrow

i was going through my external hard drive into files i used to have in college and a word doc entitled "better luck tomorrow quotes" was there.

here's what was inside:

This file was last modified on 07/04/2003. I'm vaguely remembering checking out the BLT website and maybe these were the quotes in a flash intro? Either way... I didn't end up watching this movie until much later -- the monday after PCN 2004 actually.

The things we save... What a trip.
