Moonshine Junkyard

after a week of lots of work and social engagements every single night,  saturday me and this weird wacky and wonderful hub of mine decided to opt out of everything else going on. we absconded from town for a sacramento date. just like the old days, took us back to the early 2000s when we'd gallivant the streets of midtown at all hours.  we hit up our favorite theater, the majestic and old fashioned Tower , where the seats are funky and old, the air is warm and sticky, the popcorn is greasy, the bathrooms are pink and everything is just right. we went to finally see the new film by one of our favorite directors, Terrence Malick . darin has been on the edge of his seat to see this one; both of us have literally been waiting for years. it did not disappoint, oh no no no. have you seen it yet? if so, i really wish we could have a cup of coffee together and rehash it all. please go see for yourself, o spacious hearts. the Tree of Life ...
