For dinner last night, Wendy and I decided to visit The Village Squire, a local, medieval-themed restaurant that we both enjoy. One of the unique things about the place is that everyone is served popcorn as an appetizer, and, if you flip through the brochure at your table, you'll discover that they've written a short song about the popcorn entitled "Little Fluffy Balls of Golden Sunshine".
I'm also reminded of one of the 100 memories from our initial trip to Chicago that we didn't post online: The first time we visited the Village Squire together we happened to notice a sea gull hopping across the parking lot with a slice of pizza in its beak. Sadly we didn't have our camera with us.
Changing the subject slightly, Wendy and I are finding movie watching much more enjoyable with our new TV, so we've been putting our NetFlix subscription to good use. We've recently watched House of Flying Daggers (good, but not quite as good as Hero, in my opinion), The Incredibles (quite funny), and The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (when the best part of a movie is the appearance of David Hasselhoff, you know you're not exactly watching a triumph of cinema). We've also got Amelie and Ran to watch soon, but right now we're working our way through Joseph Campbell and The Power of Myth, a 6-hour PBS series from the late 80's, in which Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell converse about anything and everything related to mythology. We're both blown away by how fascinating it is.

In honour of thy thirty-third poste, methinks thou shouldeth hath scribed thy blogge in Middle English, to keep with ye Village Squire theme.
Speaking of Old English, a Beolwulf movie is in the works with Angelina Jolie as Grendel's mom.
I'm glad the new TV is working out and that you are once again able to watch subtitled movies!
Not only that, but Crispin Glover as Grendel.
Hello, McFly!!!
Oh yeah, and I'd recommend renting "Napoleon Dynamite" if you guys still haven't seen it. We've been talking about it at work because of an incident an an animal sanctuary where actual ligers are kept.
Thanks for the recommendation. It has been added to our queue.
Gotta give a quick movie recommendation since you're watching "Amelie". "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not" stars the same actress and its one of those perspective switching movies where in the middle you see everything that's come before it in a wholly different light. Very cool.
