January 7
A morning walk before the crowds set in. Yes, crowds, of walkers and bikers and tourists filling up the paths by the time we finished lunch.
Movies! What I’ve seen since .. the last set: The Book Thief (don’t bother); Gravity (+=technology, -=everything else); Nebraska (slow, quiet, b&w, it gets you); Francis Ha (indie goodness); Inside Llewyn Davis (oh the cat), and more recently: Her (slow, uninvolving, but I liked the ending); American Hustle (fun, entertaining, surprisingly light); Captain Phillips (exciting and well done even though you already know what happens).
My favorites so far: Nebraska and Francis Ha, both small stories in black and white.
