I went to see Moonrise Kingdom. It’s almost a parody of Wes Anderson movies, or, maybe more forgivingly, the apotheosis of them, but I quite enjoyed it, for all its quirks and affectations.
After, I came home, and joined my parents next door, for a barbecue in our neighbor’s backyard. It was nice. I met someone I went to junior high with, now the girlfriend of another neighbor, who I also went to junior high with. I don’t know what was weirder: realizing that junior high school was twenty-plus years ago, or realizing at the same time that it feels like at least twice that.
