Walking on Tomorrow's Street

Last weekend with a group of friends, we went to New York City for Traditional Persian Music: (Shahram Nazeri’s Concert). But because the student thickets were SOLD OUT we decided not to go. Then we wanted to have Persian Lunch at Kabul Café (it is an Afghani restaurant but it also serves Persian food) it was CLOSED for some reason. So we went to a Thai restaurant instead it wasn’t bad, but hay our aim was to eat Persian food. And then we went to Guggenheim Museum for RUSSIA Exhibition and because it was too CROWDED and some ECONOMICAL problems we decided not to go there either.

So actually what we did at the weekend was mostly walking in streets of New York City, which is a pleasant thing to do when you are with your friends.
And as far as I’m concerned I will go to Guggenheim for RUSSIA Exhibition some day during the week when it is not as crowded as it is in the weekends.
Now here are 2 works by Yuri Pimenov from the RUSSIA Exhibition
One is New Moscow 1939, and the other is A Wedding on Tomorrow’s Street 1962 which I think is matching the weekend that I spent in New York City.

Wallace & Gromit

I wanted to see Chicken Little for a long time but the reviews are not good enough so last night I decided to see Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit instead, since I love Gromit ( more than Wallace but not the Pink Panther) I didn't care for the bad reviews although the reviews were good too.

It was indeed a very good Clay animation, as all other Wallace and Gromit movies:

In A Grand Day Out with Wallace and Gromit 1990, Wallace and Gromit blast off in a homemade rocket to see if the moon is really made of cheese since Wallace loves cheese.
In 1993,Wallace & Gromit in The Wrong Trousers, the mild-mannered inventor, Wallace and his faithful dog, Gromit are trying to stop a criminal penguin who stole a diamond.
Wallace & Gromit in A Close Shave 1995 Wallace and Gromit discover a sheep-napping bond and try to save the poor wooly victims from getting killed.

Nick Park the genius creator of Wallace and Gromit once more created a great Clay Animation adventure after 10-year absence. I believe it is a wonderful 85minutes for kids and people who appreciate animation movies specially Clay Lovers.

I still want to see Chicken Little. Just I might wait a little bit longer.

Long Summer

I came back from Iran after 4 months. It sure was a long summer holiday.
I had a good time there and I will write about it here next time.
I live in Princeton now. A beautiful city but not a delicious one, well compare to New Haven at least. The first thing I want to do is to have lunch and then I want to check and see whether the animation movie Chicken Little is released yet or not and plan to see it.
Back home I went to cinema as often as I could.
Well, I am back and hopefully I will write more often than before.

Jome Bazar

These are photos that I took in Jome Bazar or Kohne Bazar in Tehran yesterday.
Jome Bazar or Friday-Market is a market for selling old, second handed, or home-made goods. One can find anything I mean anything in this market. I will put more photos later.
Being in this market reminded me of Harry Potter’s mystic world. Especially since the Harry Potter’s latest novel has released today, July 16 in US and I am not there to be able to read it.

Water Lilies

Monet’s Water Lilies is one the most famous paintings of all times. Not only I like this painting and its preparatory studies but also a week ago we found these real water lilies in a lake near to our place. I took a picture of them. We went to walk on the bank of Whitney Lake. I miss that lake and those moments with my lovely husband terribly.
Now each time, when I look at Monet’s Water Lilies I do feel love more than any other feelings.
