There’s nothing better than being surprised by a movie.
So I’m going to tell you to stop reading here, and if you ever run across a movie called “The American Astronaut” to go watch it.
I saw this this afternoon at the Red Vic Theater on Haight Street. I came out of Zona Rosa full of burrito, and the movie caught my eye.
I was early, so I kept walking and I wound up going into CityOptix. What a nice store. Really attractive painting and cases. And lots of cool frames. On impulse I bought a new pair of glasses. The woman who helped me was really good–when I shop for frames, I’m really looking for an opinion–no, a first impression–of each frame I put on.
This is funny because I also just spent a lot of money on a pair of frames in June when I was in New York. I like both of these frames–they have more personality then what I’ve worn in the past. A little edge, I think.
On the other hand, my eyeglass expenses are getting out of hand. I don’t think I get to buy new glasses in 2006. (I usually buy new ones every couple years.)
Anyway, I tried the frames–went to the movie, bought a cookie, laughed a lot, and came back to CityOptix afterwards to plunk down my credit card.
Fun afternoon.
