Went to Governor's Island this weekend which I have been wanting to do since they opened it up. It was pretty great. There are all kinds of things going on on the island every weekend, and then you can have a nice picnic looking at lower Manhattan. The rest of the weekend was spent doing work around the house and watching the Olympics. The opening ceremonies were spectacular. I am not usually interested in the opening ceremonies, but I watched for a couple of minutes and got hooked. Really, really cool. Also the swimming relay from last night was really awesome. I am not necessarily rooting for the US, but the comeback was totally surprising and exciting.
Penguin Cafe Orchestra is modern space age pop, kind of like Air. It was pretty decent but did not blow me away. Peanut Butter Wolf is a hip hop producer, or something like that, from the Bay Area. His album was really good. 2.5 and 3.5 stars.
