betwixt sips and flicks

I finally attended my first Cemetery Screening of this season! The flick was "The Man Who Knew Too Much" by Alfred Hitchcock. Such an amazing summer night with amazing cheese, classy boxed wine, and friendly people all around! After some sips of the Franzia and minutes before showtime we made friends with this married couple next to us and proceeded to exchange berries. Deelish, I know. The guy was lounging on his patch-o-grass, flipping through a book.

Owen was reading Taking Measures Across the American Landscape by James Corner, Alex S. MacLean, and Denis Cosgrove. The book is filled with these lovely photographs of the American landscape, the different patterns you see from overhead, and various measurements and grids.



Owen is in architect school and, if I heard correctly through all the excitement, his wife studies (or teaches) art. Lately he's been reading alot of books on math. Owen's coming on late to the mathematics party bus but confesses that he's fascinated by it and wishes he got into it earlier.

Is there a subject that you wish you could devote more time to? How about something you've recently gotten into and wished you started earlier? Me? I wish I never quit the piano and wish I could play @ least 2 instruments well. On my list of things to-do before "a certain age". Also need to revisit my French.

Unfortunately I fell asleep during a massive chunk of the movie (read: the whole thing minus the first few minutes). Next time - easy on the Franzia.
