Fun Date Night

Hi,

So for our "date night" last night, Annie and I rented a canoe and went paddling on the Charles river near Newton/Wellsley.

It was a lot of fun. And although it's been almost two decades since I was last in a canoe, we weren't forced to make use of our life jackets.

I wish I'd done something like this sooner though. I really like being on/in the water. And while I'm not about to go swimming in the Charles anytime soon, it was nice to be out there paddling along. Along with the various ducks/swans/geese, we did mange to catch sight of a heron. There were also numerous dragonflies which made Annie happy and kept most of the noxious insects away.

We also had some quality conversation time when we weren't paddling under I-90, I-95, and various interchanges.

It might be fun to bring along a few extra people next time...maybe get kayaks instead (although the one and only time I was ever in one of those I rolled it like a d20 in a washing machine).

Up from the Depths! / Thirty stories high!

Hey,

I'm going to go see this (probably the 9:30pm show). Those of you who know who you are will join me (redfishie are you one of those people?):

Brattle Theatre Presents:

Friday, August 5
Exclusive Area Premiere!
Godzilla: Final Wars at 2:00, 4:30, 7:00, 9:30, midnight
(2004) dir Ryuhei Kitamura w/Masahiro Matsuoka, Rei Kikukawa, Akira Takarada, and Kane Kosugi [ [124 min]

( What is Godzilla: Final Wars you ask? )

So yeah. Probably the last Toho Godzilla movie for quite awhile. You can't possibly stand there and call yourself a geek if this doesn't make you drool just a little bit. So come on! Who's ready to watch model buildings crumble? Plastic tanks melt? Grown men in rubber monster suits waddling around? Really cheesy dubbing? Alien beings who wear silver spandex and bug-eye sunglasses? Isn't it Godzilla time?
