Summer weekend with Andrew and Rita

Over the summer, Andrew and Rita came up and spend a weekend with us. Rita and I spent a lot of time in the garden together and Aaron and Andrew played hours of both video and board games. And obviously, we went and played a game of mini golf. Over the weekend we also introduced Andrew, who is a newly, self-proclaimed scary movie junkie to Silence of the Lambs – which was fun.

Listening to:

Santogold

Artist: Santogold

Reminds me of The Go! Team with half of the bouncy happiness drained out and replaced with M.I.A.

Last watched:

The Wrestler

Director: Fox Searchlight

If there's one thing Aronofsky knows how to do, it's how to portray bleakness.

Reading:

Anathem

Author: Neal Stephenson

One of my favorite things about this book is that in this fictional world there are names given to ideas that ought to have names in the real world. For instance, Diax's Rake is the idea that you shouldn't believe something just because you want to. The name itself isn't that important, but I like that Stephenson recognizes that some ideas deserve to be acknowledged.

Playing:

Red Dead Redemption

Publisher: Rockstar Games

Like GTA in the Old West, but so far, more interesting. I just hope that the buddy characters don't require the same kid-gloved hand-holding from GTA4.
