impulse buying

Tonight I brought home what Sage requests nearly every time I ask her what I should buy:

apples

bananas

"pie" (When I ask her what kind of pie I should get, she says, "ICE CREAM PIE!", which means cheesecake.) :)

I also got some salt & pepper flavored chips, a box of Joe-Joes (Trader Joe's version of Oreos), and a small bottle of chocolate milk as a surprise. The cookies will probably last us about a month, and I just wanted the chips. ;)

metropolis reviewed

Today Nexus & I saw the newly restored version of Fritz Lang's Metropolis with rmjwell & a few others.

Now while I've seen this movie about 80 times or more, this was the 1st time I had ever seen it restored, with the 30 extra minutes of the original footage.

WOW.

I loved this movie before, but the added footage really helped to flesh out the story & gave the characters a little more depth. Unfortunately we were still bludgeoned (and that might be too mild a word) with the cheesy moral at the end of the story, but it was still wonderful to see this movie on a big screen with the original orchestral score. If I can, I'm going to see it again this week.
