away we go
Friday has long been my day off the farm, when I drive the market van in to Union Square at dawn, and then go forth into the city for a day of wound-licking and recreation: two hours of qi gong therapy for my sore and aching corporeal self, followed by a spiritually restorative lunch and a beer ior three with friends.
Now that I'm pretty much healed from all of my various agrigenic hurts and pains.of the past few years (really, I'm ok!), I've been replacing the body-work therapy with a film or two, and I'm pleased to report that there are some good ones running in the local bijou nowadays.
For example, when I saw that a cheese-loving union Square regular had a new film, I just had to repay her patronage in kind.
So, I went and saw "away we go", which is a quirky, thoughtful, laughing-out-loud funny film, which deals with some pretty serious stuff without seething its characters in self-pity, and affording both the protagonists and the audience, well, redemption.
Especially those of my friends who are 30-ish and have yet to spawn (nearly all of my lj friends, I think!), you'll get a hoot out of this film. And, with your help, Maggie will be able to keep buying my cheese!
