This morning, the heat and humidity were such that when I stepped out of the air conditioned subway car and into the station, my glasses instantly fogged up. It was like walking into a bathroom while someone’s taking a shower. I wanted to get back on the train and go home.

It was pretty awful yesterday, too. Chris and I went to see Land of the Dead with my brother and his girlfriend, and walking from the train to the theater was like wading through a warm bath. It was maybe a five or ten minute walk, and at the end of it we were both sweating like mad. When I got into the theater I could feel the heat just pouring off me (and of course I was too cold a few minutes later).

We liked the movie well enough, though. Bit of a gorefest, but as it was a zombie movie we would have been disappointed otherwise. I liked the clever gas station zombie a lot. But did notice that movie tickets are now up to $10.75 each, at least at this theater and others in the area. That means that four movie tickets now go for nearly fifty bucks, at least if you buy them online (there’s a service charge for each ticket). Insane! Zombie movies are all well and good, but we’ll have to think very carefully about whether any movie is worth shelling out that kind of money just to see it in the theater. Waiting for the DVD is almost the only sane option at this point.
