between
After Monsieur Lazhar, My Darling B and I stopped in at The Icon to relax between shows with a couple glasses of wine and maybe a few tapas for snacks. Okay, this has been bugging me all night: What’s the correct plural for tapas, anybody? Or is that already a plural? Wait, I’ll check the Read.

WIFF day one
AND THIS IS IT! The first day of the Wisconsin Film Festival! Well, actually, yesterday was, but I was too tired yesterday night to write this. Sue me. My Darling B was so excited that she couldn’t sleep! I thought I was pretty jazzed about it, but she was so crazy into it that she Read.

awful
Almost twenty-two hours after tickets went on sale for the Wisconsin Film Fest, My Darling B is still trying to get tickets to a couple of the shows we wanted to see. One of them is sold out, but she’s so darn sure she ought to have tickets to it that she’s written to one Read.

When THE STORM OF THE CENTURY blew into town yesterday afternoon, I was a little worried we wouldn’t be able to get to the library before it closed and we’d have to postpone our Nick and Nora weekend until next Friday.

Cowboys & Aliens
Seanster, My Darling B and I went to see Cowboys & Aliens last night. B got the tickets, Seanster got the popcorn and sodas, I got to sit back and enjoy the movie. So Heinlein was wrong. There is such a thing as a free lunch. You can expect to pay fifteen bucks for a Read.

Summer Wars
After scurrying from the UW campus up to cap square to watch Weather Gazers at the Bartell theater, we had to scurry back again to the Union theater on the UW campus to watch Summer Wars, the last film on our schedule for this year’s film festival. Next year, we’ve got to try a little Read.

Weather Gazers
After watching Sasha at the Play Circle theater on the UW campus, we had thirty minutes to hoof it all the way into town to the Bartell theater on the other side of cap square to see Weather Gazers. I’m pretty sure we’ve done more walking these past five days than we have in the Read.

Sasha
The last day of the film festival! *sigh* Five days seems like a lot, until it’s over. Our first film on the last day was Sasha, about a boy with a crush on his piano teacher, which probably would’ve been all right with his parents if his piano teacher had been a woman, but he Read.

Parking
Synopsis of Parking: Man is driving home from work, stops to buy a cake for dinner with his wife, can’t get home on time because various people keep double-parking next to his car. Man is involved in a series of otherwise unrelated incidents that I though were really pretty boring and went on way too Read.
