the simpsons movie

Since we didn’t get to see the movie last night, and the weather was terrible today, Gareth and I decided to catch the afternoon showing of The Simpson’s Movie. In addition to closing annoyingly early, movie theaters here have another quirk – assigned seating, complete with ushers. And this wasn’t even the ‘gold class’ option, which includes your own armchair seat, separate from everyone else, and a cold drink.

The movie was entertaining, and I tried Nando’s for the first time afterwards – a semi-fast-food Portuguese flame-grilled chicken chain that’s apparently all over the UK/OZ/NZ, but hasn’t made it to the US yet. Or maybe it has, by another name – it’s kind of disorienting to see stuff here in the same packaging but with a different name (like Minute Maid orange juice, which is …something that starts with a K, I’ll look for it next time I’m in the store).

I’m getting sick, so maybe I should go look for that OJ now!
