Spring, Finally
We saw The Big Lebowski at MoMA tonight and laughed our asses off. I'm no good at movie reviews but this is a must-see. Go. See it. It's awesome. MoMA has lots of other good films to see, too (we might try to catch the shorts this weekend). And one of these days I have to get myself to one of these Brown Bag Lunch Lectures.
The weather this week has been very therapeutic. My impending tenth high school reunion (more on that later) and other annoyances are making me extremely anxious these days, so getting outside for lunch is a necessity. It takes the murderous edge off so I can actually talk to people instead of gritting my teeth and spitting. Today I sat on the Fordham lawn, where a giant dogwood tree was fully in bloom and already shedding petals. The dogwoods and cherry trees around Park Slope are also in bloom and lately I've stopped just to smell them. There's a fleeting moment in early spring where dogwoods, cherry trees, and forsythia are all in bloom at once and it always feels like a gift. It's definitely worth celebrating next weekend at the Cherry Blossom Festival (Sakura Matsuri) in Brooklyn.
