Good Night and Good Luck

So I am sitting here brainstorming ideas on what to write a paper on for Managing NGOs (non-governmental organizations), and I thought that maybe posting this would help. I doubt it, but one never knows.

So what is new with me here? Well, Molly and I have now officially been together for over one year. We had a nice dinner at an Afghani restaurant in Boston. The food was really good, though there were some issues, which ended in our (ok, my) favor. We ordered our food, which was pretty random since neither of us is familiar with the food. So we wait and eventually it comes. I looked at my food and thought “hmm, this is not what I was expecting.” And Molly looked at my food and exclaimed “that looks like what I was hoping for.” Neither of us having any real idea of what we ordered, we just started to eat, trading plates half-way through the meal. It was very nice and I was very happy. Then suddenly the waiter swoops down, takes my plate literally 2 seconds after I finish and puts another in front of me, explaining that he had brought the wrong food. So I ended up getting another very nice meal out of the dinner.

Last week we also went to an early showing of “Good Night and Good Luck”. The movie is about Edward Murrow and his battles with McCarthy back in the early 1950s. It was absolutely phenomenal. I highly recommend everybody to see it. It comes out on October 7th, I believe. The Fletcher School is the archive for 95% of the documents of Edward Murrow’s life and work, and thus the fact that the movie was shown at the school. The night also included a panel with Casey Murrow, Edward Murrow’s son, and the actor who played Edward Murrow, David Strathairn.

So what else… Not too much. The weather is finally feeling like autumn, and some of the trees have begun to change, which is nice.
