Mid-day a friend sent me an email pronouncing that I must celebrate from noon until noon tomorrow, as proclaimed by one of her gurus. It's the New Moon and also the ending of a critical time has past. I was looking forward to going out with a new friend for dinner and a movie, in the Richmond.
We started off eating delicious Indian at India Clay Oven, on Clement and 25th Avenue. The service was a little over the top but, we were also there quite early and the fairly large staff probably didn't have anything else to do with only one other table seated. We got bhindi bhaji (yummy okra with spices) and thick and rich chicken coconut curry. Likely, this will not be a one time visit, it was so tasty.
After good conversation and food, we rushed over to the 4 Star Theater on Clement and 23rd to catch the movie Blue Valentine. First, I love the 4 Star which I'd only been to one other time. The theaters are small and cozy and the guy at the ticket counter was a real neighborhood character. The movie was very well-acted by Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams (so deserving of her Oscar nod) and its structure and visual aspects were very interesting so, I'd highly recommend people go see it. But, it was antithetical to the idea of celebrating that I'd had in mind, at the start of the evening. Walking out, I noticed the many couples in the audience and wondered how many of them would break up later in the week...
