Kesher Talk

White Christmas. It was sleeting when we entered the theater at 2:30 PM to see "The Two Towers." It was snowing hard when we left at 6:00. We were in Battery Park City and had to walk about eight blocks before we could hail an empty cab to take us to Chinatown. The snow would have been a lot of fun but for the gusty cold wind. We met two more at the dimsum place, drank lots of hot tea and wonton soup, and dissected the movie.

It was still coming down, a bit more slowly, at 10:00, when I left the East Village after catching the first set of Patrick's band; as far as I can tell I was the only blogger in the audience.

I was pleased by how frequent the buses and subway were on a snowy holiday night. New York works - at least in this way, at least so far.

PS: Secret diaries of all the Lord of the Ring protagonists (including Ringwraith #5), providing me the most helplessly gasping laughter of the month, also Gollum weighs the pros and cons of the movie, (via Andrea, who - in response to several clueless critiques - also unearths a review of the 3rd book by W. H. Auden, NYTimes, 1956. Enjoy.)
