This is the post where I try not to be pissy because I lost an entire CF card full of photographs that I took at the Waimea Canyon, the drive up there and hiking on a trail. I know a lot of other people took photographs but there were a few I was really excited about that I took. Sigh.

So on Thursday we drove to the canyon and stopped at a few lookouts before stopping the Koke’e State Park picnic area for lunch. After lunch we started a hike on the Nu’alolo Trail (i think). After a short while, Kristin, Sarah, and I walked back and drove into Waimea for some shave ice and shopping then took a siesta on the beach. Cousin, Dallas & Rob continued to hike for the entire afternoon. Later on we went to Dallas’ Uncle Dee and Aunt Kathy’s for dinner.

Brooklyn Bridge Park Summer Film Series

July 31st, 2003 · 11 Comments

Brooklyn Bridge Park Summer Film Series
Brooklyn Bridge Park Summer Film Series, DUMBO, Brooklyn

This was the second time I saw Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?. The first time was with Mark and Sarah in La Jolla right after it came out and right before Mark moved to New York. Seeing the movie the second time was definitely better. So funny. And Masako and I kept singing all the songs. I’m not sure how I got the mp3s of them.. from Walt, maybe.. i think.

Jeannette was the only one in our group who hadn’t already seen Oh , Where Art Thou? and, in an attempt to gadge whether she liked it or not, Masako and I kept looking over at her every time there was a really funny part. Jeannette has a really low alcohol tolerance level and didn’t seem to be keeping it in check.. in other words, she just seemed drunk… and like she was staring at the screen thinking, “their mouths are moving… words are coming out.. hmmm.. curious how that’s happening… ”

Unfortunately, it was raining during the movie and it started to come down so hard that they had to turn it off and we had to leave early. It was definitely fun, though. The Brooklyn Bridge Park Summer Film Series goes on for 2 more weeks.. grab 10 friends, some blankets, a couple of pizzas from Grimaldi’s and a bottle of wine, and head over!

Last night the New York Philharmonic kicked off it’s Concerts in the Parks summer concert series with a free concert on the Great Lawn in Central Park. It was a perfect night, way less hot and humid than it’s been lately. Julie, Jess, and I brought a blanket, some wine, crackers, cheese and chocolate and listened to the orchestra under the stars along with thousands of other people.
