It was a beautiful spring day in Portland. Couples were walking in the sunshine, eating at outdoor cafés. Every time I saw my next-door-neighbor, he was taking his kids to the park. So what was I doing? Reading comic books? Watching The Bourne Identity? Watching people burn their houses down? Drinking moonshine and shooting guns? You can probably guess.
I probably should have seen The Bourne Supremacy sooner. I read all the Bourne-this, and the Bourne-that books by Robert Ludlum when I was in Japan. Either way, I kind of liked how the movie wasn’t as grim as the book. I also watched the orginal version of The Man Who Knew Too Much and I didn’t like it as much as the remake. Even with Doris Day, I liked the newer one better.
So last night I was at the Lucky Lab brewpub for the second night in a row. The first night was a going-away party for a friend who has a 3-year job in Germany. The second night was to hear a neighbor’s band play. He’s in all sorts of bands and I never saw this group, but he’s been playing with them for 25 years! I feel kind of bad about it, since I’m on his email list for his shows and I haven’t gone for a long time. Don’t people know I’m boring and like watching TV?
hello you’re so wrong. the bourne books are SO MUCH BETTER than the movies. the movies don’t even come close to the glory of the books. slackass. glad to hear you are leaving the house occasionally tho.
don’t bother reading. movies are so much easier to watch. and you won’t get butter from the popcorn all over the pages!
