bearshortyToday was my day for finishing movies that have been on my shelf/floor for a while and that I really need to give back to Bear. I think I had his copy of X-Men 2 since last year. I do love that movie and it is always good no matter how many times I watch it. I just wanted to watch it again since last year because I realized Peter Wingfield was in it. It was also interesting to watch keeping the context of X-Men: First Class in mind. I also watched the part of the third Pirates movie that I missed by falling asleep a few weeks ago – I slept through all of climactic action sequences apparently.
Bear came over in late afternoon and he took me rollerblading. I need to go more; my body was tired too soon. I wish I could just go and not rely on other people to take me to that beach road. Still, it was fun. Then we came home and I cooked mashed potatoes and zucchini/pepper/onion stir fry for dinner. There was already chicken in the fridge. Bear’s Mom sent over brownies so that was our desert. When I’m in the house by myself I don’t really want to do much but I like cooking for other people and I’m always more productive like in washing dishes or chores if there is someone else to care for.
The reason Bear came over today specifically was because of fireworks and concert our borough president sponsors every summer. We drove over to the park, found parking 15 minutes away – which is pretty good since it gets really crowded and had a really nice evening. We decided to watch the fireworks from the beach this time, not the lawn, and it was better. The fireworks were clearer and there were fewer people around but we could still hear the music from the concert. It was Bee-Gees covers this year, which was entertaining. We had ice-cream when we got home and it was a really great evening.
