The Distance of the Moon
Looking for a beautiful way to kill some time on a weekend afternoon? Listen to Liev Schreiber reading Italo Calvino’s “The Distance of the Moon”, from Cosmicomics. It’s a tale of the evolution of our moon, from a time when it was not so far away, milked for nourishment by lunar herdsmen.
How wonderful that a story could be built on science (our moon did used to be closer to us, and moves farther away every year) yet journey so far into the imagination! 
A+, Radiolab.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986; dir. John Hughes)
Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
