Cloverfield and Manayunk

Yeah, Mondays, whoo-hoo, high energy!!!

**yawn**

Cloverfield Rocks (NYC)

So when I first saw a trailer for Cloverfield I thought it was a coming of age story about young beautiful people dealing with life and stuff. Okay, I thought it was Felicity the movie (I miss that show). Then the head of the Statue of Liberty is flying through the air. My previous ambivalence transformed instantenously. Now it was young beautiful people dealing with crazy shit happening in New York City, which seems to be a disaster magnet. Seriously, when that movie 10000 BC shows up I just know the director will destroy New York City in some way. But anyway, the entire movie plays like the recording from a handheld camcorder. I will not spoil the "story" here but there is one thing I would like to point out: what kind of camera is that? More on that later this week. Do yourself a favor and try out this movie, preferably with a pretty girl.

Grapes and Rock, TOGETHER!!!

So I went out on the town on Saturday, and when I say town I am talking about a little place called Manayunk. I've only been there a few times but my feeling is that I get the bar scene without the hassle of going to Philadelphia. Philly is cool when you know where to go, but it is freezing between parking spaces and the fun. So my friends and I went to this place called the Grape Street. At first I was a little skeptical (Grapes, please) but it is more than what it seems. I sometimes like to dance in clubs, but I also like to listen to live bands. Brace yourself..............the Grape Street has BOTH. One side has a DJ and a dance floor while the other side has live bands playing a few acts. And liquor, lots of liquor (my secret to dancing). It was one of those places where you can find something to like. And the ladies are cute (I'm looking at you, tall, blonde, beautiful dance machine).

The Truth...............
.................................. is the secret to happiness does not lie in alcohol. The courage to chase happiness comes from the bottle.
