A hot summer day - what better than to head out to the City Hall fountains for a good splash? Steph and Na indulge and pose for me. Na provides a second umbrella and that helps to keep us fairly dry (and mildly sun protected).
After some splashing, stomping, and general goofing off, we walk a couple of blocks to check out the fairly new
Reuse Centre. What a find! I'm delighted with the $ 2 fee I picked up a copy of Sarah Slean's Night Bugs and a whole lot of magazines. Will have to visit again (there were plenty of bins of craft and paper supplies that I didn't get to). Steph reminds me what I really should do next visit is to bring things in...
Next day, Catherine and I go to a movie. In the one of the few dollar theatres around we see
Hot Fuzz. Boy, was I confused. There were definitely elements of goofiness, but when Simon Pegg's character is alone with his houseplant and everything just seems quiet and sad, I really thought this was going to be a drama. I was very wrong. Soon there was small town intrigue, gun fights, and car chases. Catherine explains to me afterwards why she found it so funny: It's a spoof on buddy cop movies. Oh... I think we need to add some buddy cop movies to my pop culture education "Lana to Watch" list.
