Time in NYC

This past weekend was a good weekend. Kristen came up with Jared and visited along with touring NYC. On Friday they went shopping down at the Woodbury Outlets and had fun, so I guess I should go down there sometime. Maybe some weekend where I'm not doing much or hiking down in that area. On Saturday we took a trip to NYC. It was essentially the same basic trip that I took with MOM and Dad a few weeks ago, but with them it seemed more relaxed and I had a better idea of more efficient areas to go. We did the Statue of Liberty and briefly Ellis Island. It was a shame it was kinda an ugly day, especially in the morning. We then went towards Times Square and had lunch. Afterwards we wandered over to 30 Rock. On the way, we saw a huge street vendor sale on 6th Avenue. It was pretty cool and really big. I was surprised by it and enjoyed it immensely. It was probably my favorite part. We then wandered around Central Park for a while before getting tired and headed home. We also made a quick stop by Central Market and picked up some delicious desserts. When we got back in Poughkeepsie, we ate at O'Shea's and got some good food and drinks. Sunday they left early and I played catch up with all of my podcasts and Hulu stuff. By the way, what a great season finale for Grey's anatomy. Up to this point, I was so dead tired of the show and was going to give it up. I was no longer the prime demographic and was looking for something to dump. I didn't care about the characters anymore since they all seemed too crazy now a days. Then this finale just roped me back in. It was extremely good and the whole season up to now seemed to be for that episode. Great.

I also was able to catch a small budget foreign flick called Time Crimes. It is basically about time travel and a pretty normal man's experience with it. It started out pretty slow but by about half way through, it was really good and I liked unwrapping some of the twists and turns even though some of it was pretty predictable and confusing. The ending gave a pretty good twist and I liked it a lot (I wonder what happened after the cops showed up). A great indy flick.
