It's A Familiar Dance, Monkey Nipples, They Both Know It

by Rainier on Sept. 6, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

The long weekend has come to an end, only for us to start packing for our New York trip tomorrow. It's a six-hour flight, so we leave bright and early, and arrive mid-day, giving us time to start exploring the city already. Statue Of Liberty, meeting with friends, US Open Tennis, more sightseeing, and plenty of food: It all sounds like fun to me.

Yesterday's BBQ was awesome, the weather looked crummy in the morning, but everything cleared up by noon and the sun was out in full force. One of our friends brought bacon-wrapped scallops, which were the hit of the event, hands down. So tasty!

Apart from the recent Falling Skies, Steven Spielberg seems to be working on yet another TV series, Terra Nova, which is premiering later this month. Looks like a mix of Stargate sci-fi and Jurassic Park, so that sounds like a good combination.
