A Room With A View

Visited the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla. Checked out the Chicano Vision: American Painters on the Verge exhibition. My favorite gallery was the one below - an empty room with a 180-degree view of the ocean - a beautiful work of art, really.

In the afternoon watched the final for Copa America. Argentina were the better team, but they lost to Brazil. Go figure. Argentina took the lead with 2:1 in the 87th minute. They thought they had it. Their attitude ruined them. They got way too confident. They felt like champions, and they should've been the champions, but as people say "it's not over until it's over." Brazil scored in the 93rd minute, tying the game and taking it into penalty kicks. The Argentinean team was in shambles. Devastated. Penalties was never a fair way to decide for a winner, but that's the way it is. So Brazil won in penalties lifting their 7th Copa America. I could only imagine the party back in their homeland.

I could also picture the party in England where pretty much at the same time that Brazil were celebrating their victory, Ian Brown was playing a full set of classic Stone Roses songs. I wish I was there. In England. Or in Brazil.

But I'm here. And it's all good! Marie and I headed to the movie theaters for some great entertainment - The Bourne Supremacy is an awesome movie - just as good if not better than The Bourne Identity. Fully enjoyed it. As usual, we made it a double-header so we also saw I, Robot and I am glad we saw it on the big screen, because I don't think I would've ever rented this one. It's a big screen movie - you have to see it in the theater.
