To the edge and back

Upon this day, the good Lady Bruin de Minuitive and I didst venture forth to yon very edge of the known world. Thereupon didst we meet with many fine scribes from the far-flung corners of our fair land.
Our hosts, Z and The Sage didst provide many fine victuals and much quaffing and scoffing did ensue.
'Twas exceeding fine to have discourse with such scribes that 'ere were known only to us by their manuscripts. Verily, 'twas equally fine to renew acquaintance with acquaintances that we were acquainted with.
Many wondrous things were seen. Yon memory of witnessing  the arcane art of chick tickling will go with  me to my grave.

'Twas a brilliant day!

Bears go the pictures

 We haven't been to the cinema for ages. In fact, I can't remember what we saw last time we went. It wasn't a silent movie, before anyone suggests it.
Both of us are Johnny Depp fans, albeit for different reasons. So. on Sunday afternoon we decided to go and see Dark Shadows at the great Cineworld multiplex in downtown Ippy.
I now remember why we hadn't been for a while. What a rip-off. The film was fun, but the cinematic experience left a fair bit to be desired. The air conditioning wasn't working. We were half an hour into the film before one of the trolls who masquerade as staff remembered to turn the lights off. We got charged evening rates even though it was before 5 pm (sadly, I didn't catch on to this until we were home).
All-in-all, my advice would be to buy the DVD. Even if you throw it away after watching it once, you'll still be better off once you take parking and exorbitant entrance fees into account.
Oh, and you won't have to sit in a warm fug of armpit and fart stench with the rustles and grunts from your fellow viewers  that do nothing to enhance the film soundtrack.
