Sunday night – Cloud atlas

just past midnight.. and i’m about to go pick up gabe at the airport. He’s been in Spain all week.. can’t wait to hear his stories..   while he was gone, Diane and I had our own summer camp.. she went with me on a business trip, we ate out a few times.. we hung out in the pool and we watched movies.. it was awesome.. (she’s awesome)

last night we watched the movie ‘Cloud Atlas’ .. it was 3 hours long and was based on the book of the same name by David Mitchel.. It was amazingly complicated and twisted. 6 different actors each play 6 different characters through six different story lines in six different times..

It was beautifully photographed. and The musical score was great. .. parts of it were amazing story telling, parts of it were pretty goofy..and no tas well made.  .. . The story kept folding back on itself like batter in a mixing bowl. By the end, all the stories concluded.. and you came away feeling good- Cloud-Atlas-Whos-Who

the strange thing is that I can’t get the story lines or the characters out of my head today.. i keep trying to figure out connections between the stories.. and who played who..  i would like to see it again.. but can’t imagine sitting still for another 3 hours..

hugh

The one thing I really liked abotu the movie is how it showed a clique of people travelign through time together, taking differnt roles in differnt stories.. soemhow.. i don’t think thas far from the truth.. I like the ones I’m with.. 🙂

We made our own cloud atlas  today.. we went to the new sandy beach at the intersection of the huntington and winooski rivers.. All the sand was dropped by the storms over the last three weeks.. It used to be deep river there.. It’s a perfect place to lie out and catch soem son.. and it’s only about 400 feet from our front door..
