Busy weekend

Yesterday I went went to Greenwich Connecticut after work with my friend who lives there. We took the commuter train from Grand Central Station, where you can drink beer and wine on the way. We sat and drank Corona, and shared headphones - we each got one ear - on the iPod.

(I've seen a lot of people sharing iPods on trains. Double headphones would be a great idea. Do they sell those?)

After we cooked a delicious summer meal, and ate outside, we went to catch a late showing of the latest Indiana Jones flick. I loved it.

I seem to be super nostalgic for the 80s lately. Nostalgia is kind of silly, but I don't judge myself for it. I was surprised that this movie felt almost as exciting as when I first saw the Indiana Jones films. I loved all the great formulaic moments, fun action, and a final sci-fi scene almost as wacky as the one in Raider's of the Lost Ark. That said, I bet this movie is not as good on video. It was built for the big screen.

Harrison Ford, an old man now, confirms that I do have an older-man fetish. Ok, maybe it's just a Harrison Ford fetish. Han Solo forever!!

Kudos for the casting of Karen Allen (character from 1981 film) as the love interest. Though I could have done without the cheesy ending (won't give it away-you'll have to see it yourself). I wonder sometimes if I'm not romantic much anymore.

Today I went to Barge Music for a great concert of Mozart, Brahms and Shostakovich. Brilliant! The program is playing again tomorrow at 4pm. If you can, GO!
