Total Eclipse of the Heart

My picture is lame, but my story is not. So, to start with the picture- there was a total lunar eclipse tonight, which I think is nothing but cool. We tried to go out and capture it on film, but my camera sucks the big one in low light. Must work on that.

So, today I lazed around all day. I reveled in the fact that I could get up late and then watch The View on TV. I called Kate a little later so that we could take a walk in Central Park and swap weekend stories, which we did.

Dan's friend Michael actually invited us both out tonight to see a pre-screening of Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?, it's by Morgoan Sperlock, the guy that did Supersize Me. I had heard of the movie, had seen Supersize Me, and I think I saw some of the trailer (which is the first link) before going to see it, but I really didn't know that we were the 2nd audience to see it...ever. That was pretty cool. Before we went in they asked if we minded staying after to fill out a survey about the movie. We agreed, and then after we got settled another lady came around to ask if we wanted to be part of a focus group discussion after the survey part of the night.

The movie was actually pretty good. I laughed out loud quite a few times, and really really enjoyed seeing all the people of the Middle East that Morgan met. It was enlightening to see a different view of that area that wasn't from the media. There were a few pieces I didn't totally love, so I marked that down on the survey, so hopefully they can fix it before it hits the screens. I shared all this during the focus group as well, which I thought was cool, cause it was only about 3 rows of people talking about what they liked and didn't like about the film. Most people liked most things about it, and my points were definitly agreed upon.

It only lasted about 15 minutes, when we all got up and filed out. As Dan, Michael and I straggled out last we actually passed Morgan Spurlock sitting in one of the back rows! We walked by and I shook his hand saying "heyyyy, nice movie", which is a weird thing to say! What an awesome way to finish up the day! Oh, not forgetting the total eclipese though. :)
