They arrived on Saturday and are staying through Thursday this week. So far we’ve had a lot of good food and conversation. Mom picked up a great pair of Eccos for the upcoming school year and we sampled tea at the new Teavana at West Towne Mall. We have a trip out to APT planned for this week and are hoping to spend a little more time outdoors if the weather stays relatively cool and sunny. Even with some rain and mugginess this weekend, Mom and Dad say Wisconsin feels much cooler than the upper 90s and 100+ degrees they have been experiencing in Florida!

Xaxxon and Small Horse have quickly warmed up to my parents and were giving them more attention than me and Michael this evening! When they started to leave for their hotel, Xaxxon put his paw on Mom to try to get her to stay.

Every Tuesday night for the last two years or so, we have been inviting friends over to our house for movies and pizza. We usually choose the movie, as a group, a week in advance so that the person who owns a copy or has access to a copy can bring it the following week. Occasionally we have longer discussions about movies that should be viewed at future movie nights.

Here is a list of movies we have watched over the last few months:

The Shawshank Redemption

The Scent of Green Papaya

Man on the Moon

UHF

Team America

Kubrick’s Lolita

Help (the Beatles movie)

Zero Hour

Barry Lyndon

Quick Change

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Waiting for Guffman

What are the benefits of having a weekly movie night? In general, I’d say that we have watched many movies that we might not ever have taken the time to see (or even known about) because of movie night. Also, our primary crew for movie night includes Colin, Lindsay, and Keith, friends we didn’t see very often before we started having movie nights. It gives us a chance to catch up with friends. It’s a good weekly routine

Josh just put in a new entertainment center in his house that he is very proud of, so he and Betsy have invited us up to watch a movie or two this weekend. My sister and her husband will be there too and we’re looking forward to seeing them as well! More friends will be there as well, so its just gonna be a big party. I am looking forward to the hi-speed rail so that trips up there are much more fun.
