Last night I had a rare evening alone, all by myself, no one around. It was thrilling and confusing at the same time. What would I do?

That was a good question.

I answered it by making a series of choices. First I got up from flopping on the bed after I got home from work.

Next I poured out a small portion of Limoncello that we had left in the cupboard and decided to go to the store to get Father’s Day cards and a bottle of vodka.

Next I walked to the store. Chose three cards (one for a wedding later, the other two for Father’s Day) and walked to the liquor store. I purchased a bottle of medium priced vodka. The clerk asked for my Id. He noticed I was from Yakima. He was from Roslyn—”Got the hell out of there as soon as I could,” he said.

Saw that Sunberg posted a vid on Facebook. Thought I’d share for the rest of the world wide web. Towards the end I realized he was synching video images to the sound. Very deft Sunberg, very deft.

The new “monster” movie Cloverfield is getting some fallout for painting a too real picture of a destroyed NYC too soon after Sept. 11.

And yes, I agree—There is an eerie chill that comes over the audience when we see the ash filled sky and panicked New Yorkers fleeing the city. We know what that looks like; especially with the amateur handy-cam feel of the movie. This could be footage taken on that scary September morning.

Too soon? Insensitive?

I think that is why Cloverfield works. Cloverfield takes a subject we are all interested in, and makes it completely farfetched. Running through a destroyed New York… not from terrorists but from a huge Godzilla-like monster.
