• Sat, 12:30: But I've got my bike and a good warm coat, and I can call a cab if I have to. Not going to miss my one shot at this movie for anything.
• Sat, 13:06: Looks like I can get to within ten miles of home after the movie. That's not too bad.

Rising to the challenge: My adventures en route to and from "The Wind Rises"

Well, I promised an account of my adventures yesterday, in which my trip to see The Wind Rises in a theater turned out to be much longer and more adventurous than I had expected, so here it is.

( Let's have an adventure! )

In the end, The Wind Rises was a movie that would have been worth bicycling the whole ten miles for. I heartily encourage anyone and everyone near a theater playing it to go and see it while you still can. And I have to say that, as much as I enjoyed Frozen, there's really just no comparison in terms of movie greatness. Here's hoping it takes the Oscar tonight!
