Visiting James and Chrissy

August 15, 2010 @ 6:36 am · Posted by Sah · Filed under Family

At the end of June, Aaron and I drove down to CT to spend a weekend with James and Chrissy at their condo. We had a relaxed weekend of good food, games and spending time together (which of course included a lot of mocking James :) They took us to a great tapas place called Barcelona which was particularly delicious. For anyone who hasn’t heard by now, James and Chrissy are excitedly expecting a baby this fall – hence the above photo. We are of course very happy for them and can’t wait to watch this baby wrap James around its little finger.

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

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.

Red Dead Redemption

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.
