I wish Katniss Everdeen could experience days like the one I enjoyed on Thursday.
I wish she could just piddle around most of the morning before meeting a friend for a late lunch that also involves taking some pictures of the food for a blog to be written later. Then she could go home for a nap, since she ate a burger (with a fried egg on it) and french fries and pizza and, oh yeah, washed it down with Guinness and finished with apple pie. When she woke up, she could do a little writing and then go back downtown for the premiere of a hot new movie at the cool renovated downtown theater.
Alas, Katniss has to run and jump and shoot arrows that explode, all in the attempt to save the desperate districts from the evil capital.
So, I spent a big chunk of Thursday at the Hippodrome. Photographer Chelsea Santos and I took picures of and ate their food at lunch (as described above). Since neither of us could watch eight hours of Hunger Games without feeling guilty about wasting time, we reconvened for Mockingjay Part I.
Dun, dun, dunnnnnnn (that's the end of this blog — pretty abrupt huh?)
