Cinema

One of the perks of my new job is that I got two complimentary season passes to the film series the college, which is A-okay with me. R and I love seeing movies, it's just that it's logistically a little challenging coupled with the cost of seeing them regularly. The fact that we don't have pay for them is a great incentive to overcome the logistical part of the equation, don't you think? Plus, they get first run movies, which is cool, as well as socially conscious ones and artsy ones since it is a college film program.

This past weekend we were in the area and decided to give it a go. The kids had hockey all day and N's game just happened to be in Hanover, so we figured we'd go the movie and find an alternative activity for them. There are certain movies they would like to see, while others are either too boring for them or inappropriate. Interestingly enough, this series is about empowering women, so there are a few movies that A and R could both see and appreciate.

It worked out beautifully, and we also got to eat at our new choice of dining out, the Noodle Station. It's not quite like the glory days of Boloco, but it works out pretty well. We can get by with two dishes between the four of us, they are fairly big, and the taste is excellent. Not quite as satisfying as a fat, juicy burrito, but still tasty, and what kid doesn't love noodles? Plus, it means we get to get out more often for something that doesn't involve hockey, sort of. I love when that happens.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Filippo Venturi for the pic.
